On Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding day in 2011, the royal couple were seen leaving Buckingham Palace after their ceremony in Prince Charles' car. The Aston Martin was decorated with streamers in red, white, and blue and an 'L' learner plate was fixed at the front.
The number plate was changed and read, 'JU5T WED' at the back of the car, and balloons were attached to the boot and floated behind the couple as they drove away to their reception.
