The Prince and Princess of Wales will tomorrow mark an incredible milestone in their relationship – 14 years of marriage – and this year’s anniversary will be ‘even more important’ following last year’s trauma
The Prince and Princess of Wales have faced a brutal 12 months that would have rocked the foundations of any solid marriage. But with Kate now in remission following her devastating cancer diagnosis last year and gradually returning to royal duties, things are certainly looking much brighter for her and husband Prince William, who has been her constant support.
Tomorrow they will mark a happy milestone in their stronger-than-ever relationship – 14 years of marriage with a two-day trip to the stunning Isle of Mull, where they will stay in a self-catering cottage and carry out a string of engagements. In recent years, they’ve also had to deal with the fallout of Prince Harry and Meghan dramatically quitting their royal roles as well as getting to grips with their increasing royal duties as Prince and Princess of Walesfollowing the death of the late Queen.
They also have to finely balance this with raising their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – and being hands-on parents doing the school run and ferrying the youngsters around to their various activities and after-school sports clubs.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has delved inside their marriage to work out exactly what it is that makes their union a special one. And she exclusively reveals exactly what has allowed them to navigate stormy waters – and now appear to be even stronger than ever.
She explains: “Their first anniversary after Catherine’s official remission has to be that extra bit special. Every milestone takes them that little bit further away from the dreadful day when she was diagnosed with cancer. After his mother died, William said he knew it would make or break him and he refused to let it break him.
