It’s been five years since the royal wedding, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are more in love than ever as they celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary today. This time, they’ve chosen to celebrate the event in the privacy of their Anmer Hall residence in Norfolk, England.
The couple manages to maintain a close connection amidst busy schedules (Will is an air ambulance helicopter pilot while Kate is heavily involved in philanthropy), royal duties and parenting responsibilities (Prince George is two and Princess Charlotte is almost one), which is no easy feat.
So it’s no wonder why people all over the world have a soft spot for Will and Kate, and here we’ve extracted 8 lessons on love from their milestone marriage:
Stand by your partner, just like how Kate stands by Will, smiling encouragingly as he attempts some archery in Bhutan.
Even if you’ve been married a long time, take your spouse out for an elegant dinner and movie every now and then just to spend some alone time – and a bit of dressing up won’t hurt! Here’s Will and Kate at the world premiere of Spectre in 2014.
Through the years, the couple has faithfully attended rugby championships, basketball games and Wimbledon (pictured here), and we love their priceless reactions! There’s nothing like the high tensions of sports to forge closer bonds.
Will and Kate have gone on many royal tours together, to Canada, Australia, Singapore, China and most recently, Bhutan and India. Travelling together is perfect for rekindling that romantic spark, especially when you’re disconnected from the stress of life back home.
Much like how the daring couple harnessed up and tried abseiling in Wales, take your relationship to the next level by doing something new that’s not completely within one or both of your comfort zones.
