This April marks their tenth wedding anniversary

Duchess Catherine and Prince William will celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary in April, though a source has claimed they found past engagement predictions 'hilarious' and kept a 'tally'.
- Duchess Catherine and Prince William supposedly kept a ‘tally" of engagement predictions.
- It's claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge found speculation regarding their future marriage "hilarious".
- In other royal news, Princess Eugenie named her son after these royal relatives.
Duchess Catherine and Prince William never fail to delight royal fans with their strong relationship and adorable family. Having met at the University of St Andrews, the couple announced their engagement in November 2010 and later married in a stunning televised ceremony the next year. They are now proud parents to three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Many royal fans might be questioning whether the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will move back to Kensington Palace from their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, if an announcement is made on when schools might reopen. It’s understood that the Cambridges have been spending the UK’s third lockdown there.
In a recent video call with fellow parents, the Duchess spoke of her new lockdown skill and also revealed that Prince William has been her greatest support throughout the pandemic. The couple will mark their 10 year anniversary in April, though in the past, speculation was rife amongst the newspapers as to when they would finally get engaged.

Duchess Catherine was supposedly invited to spend Christmas with Prince William at Sandringham in 2006, though turned the offer down. Around this time, many media outlets seemed to be predicting that an engagement would soon be announced.
According to Express.co.uk, a friend claimed that the couple found these predictions “hilarious”.
They reportedly stated: “Kate said she won’t be going to Sandringham until she’s a part of the family."
“She has made it quite clear that she will only be at a royal Christmas if she and William get married, and that’s not yet on the cards", the source supposedly explained.
“We all know it’s going to happen, but it’s not going to happen this Christmas.
“Kate and William find all the speculation hilarious and they have a wall chart with a tally of how many times the papers predict they will marry.”

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went on to briefly split up in 2007, before reuniting later that year. Prince William proposed in 2010 on a trip to Kenya, with his late mother Princess Diana’s beautiful sapphire engagement ring that is thought to have been passed to him by his brother Prince Harry.
There have been reports that the Queen may mark the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's ten-year anniversary in April with something particularly special.
We will just have to wait and see!
