How Prince William, Kate Middleton will celebrate 9th wedding anniversary in lockdown

On Wednesday, Prince William and Kate Middleton complete nine years of marriage, their royal wedding took place on April 29, 2011, in London's Westminster Abbey. The wedding that was watched by millions is a memorable day etched forever in the memories of the royal fans and followers.

As they spend their time locked down with their children—Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, four, and Prince Louis, two—at their Anmer Hall residence in Norfolk due to coronavirus outbreak, it would most likely be a low key affair and simply some family time. With the couple separated from the rest of the British royal family, the occasion gives them a chance to reconnect.

The members of the royal family will be sending out their warmest wishes to the royal couple. Also, they are expected to get connected with grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, father Prince Charles and Camilla, and others through video calls, social media, and more.
