When did Prince William marry Kate Middleton?

The Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton took place on April 29, 2011, and was declared a public holiday in the UK.

Since William isn't the first in line to the throne, the wedding was not a full state occasion, which meant many details of the big day were left down to the couple.

The wedding was watched live by 36million people and was jam-packed with all the usual pomp and ceremony of a royal occasion.

The engagement came seven years after Kate and Wills first got together, in October 2010, sparking mass excitement all over the world.
