However, it seems far more likely that the pair will opt to stay inside and have a home-cooked meal, as they have typically chosen to do on their previous wedding anniversaries.
A royal expert and author of the book Prince Philip Revealed, Ingrid Seward, told Entertainment Daily, “I suspect they will so what most working couples will do, they’ll probably go out for a celebration or have a celebration at home.”
She continued to say, “I would think that they’ll just have a private celebration at home. They’ll probably be inviting friends, they can do that.”
What will William give Kate for their 10th Anniversary?
The typical gift for a ten-year anniversary is tin. Tin symbolizes the strength of a relationship to reach this milestone and the durability to continue for much longer.
The typical gemstone to celebrate this event is a diamond, so perhaps to celebrate William and Kate's wedding anniversary, the Duchess of Cambridge might be getting a lovely piece of jewelry from her husband.
How have the couple spent their previous anniversaries?
For their first wedding anniversary, the couple exchanged paper gifts. According to reports from Hello the Duke and Duchess had a very low key celebration at home where Kate made William, fish en papillote – fish wrapped in parchment paper – as a sweet nod to the traditional first wedding anniversary gift of paper.
For their last wedding anniversary in 2020, the couple were still under the UK's lockdown restrictions but shared a throwback photo of their wedding nine years prior. The post said, “Nine years ago today – thank you for all your lovely messages on The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding anniversary!”

The couple has also had other notable wedding anniversaries and Kate has even celebrated some of them while heavily pregnant. Princess Charlotte was born on 2nd May 2015, meaning that the Duchess of Cambridge celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary while just three days away from giving birth. The traditional gift for a fourth wedding anniversary is typically fruit, flowers, or linen, but a newborn daughter is really going above and beyond.
