What will William and Kate Middleton do for their anniversary

Two days in Scotland who saw them fall in love: to celebrate theirs 14 years of marriageWilliam and Kate have chosen a return to the roots, between Atlantic twenty, flocks of black sheep and small communities. The principles of Wales will land on the island of MullInternal hebrides, but with a dense dense agenda: theirs is not (only) a romantic escape, but also a service trip.

During their stay, they will visit Tobermory, the postcard village known for its colorful houses and to have been the set of the series for children Balamory. They will meet local producers at the port market, will visit a community center that works as a social fulcrum for the inhabitants, and will announce A Royal Foundation project: A collaboration with two community spaces of the island to encourage inclusive activities and strengthen the social fabric.

Then, a more rural stage: They will visit a Croft, a small traditional Scottish farm, where they graze the sheep of the hebrides with a thick and black fleece.

There will also be space for a meeting with Ardura Acorns, a group of children of the 0-6 year old band that follows an educational program entirely based on contact with nature: construction of shelters, recognition of fingerprints, walking in the paths of the forest.

“We want to highlight the importance of protecting and enhancing the natural environment», The couple said. And what better frame of the scottish swords and woods to send this message?

Nearly there, their love story began. It was 2001 When William, at the time young real student, began his academic path at the University of St Andrews. He had chosen art history, but after a few months he changed his mind, and enrolled in geography. In one of the classrooms of the campus he met Catherine Middleton, bright, reserved, with a passion for photography.

Their story begins between one lesson and another, between the corridors of the Department and the dinners with friends. “At the beginning we were only roommates“Said William. They lived together with two other friends in a two -story apartment in Hope Street, in the heart of St Andrews. «But then … it simply happened. Everything has grown in a very natural way».

An episode entered the legend: The 2002 charity parade. Kate Calcava the catwalk wearing a transparent dress (Actually a vacant transformed into the dress) and William, in the front row, remained speechless.

After a short break in 2007, William made the wedding proposal in Kate in 2010, during a holiday in Kenya, in a hut over 3,000 meters above sea level. The following year, on April 29, the fairytale wedding in Westminster Abbey, followed live by millions of people in the world.

But this year, the anniversary matters even more. 2024 was defined by William himself as “the most difficult year of my life”, for the diagnosis of cancer of his father, King Carlo, and Kate. “It was a shock for our whole family,” she explained, “but having William next to it was of enormous comfort.” In a video, widespread after the end of preventive chemotherapy, he added: “He made us reflect on how precious simple things are: to love and be loved».
