The couple are now the parents of three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 8.

Last year, William and Kate spent their anniversary in Scotland, where they firstmetas students at the University of St Andrews.

They both studied art history and geography and shared a farmhouse with several friends before starting a relationship that has now lasted more than 20 years.

Less than one year later, in front of 1,900 guests at Westminster Abbey, William and Kate each vowed to "love, comfort, honor and keep" each other "in sickness and in health."
