Prince William and Kate Middleton are celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary by retreating to a meaningful location tied to their early romance. According to Fox News Digital and People magazine, the royal couple traveled to the Isle of Mull, off Scotland's west coast, for a two-day visit beginning on April 29, 2025 — the same date as their 2011 wedding.
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that William and Kate chose modest accommodations in a self-catered cottage, reflecting their preference for simplicity over luxury. Their deep bond with rural life dates back to their university days at St. Andrews, where they first met as students.
The countryside has become even more important to the couple as they navigate public life and personal challenges, including Kate’s recent cancer battle. Fordwich noted that William has been particularly affectionate, prioritizing quiet moments like romantic dinners and long walks, describing the countryside as "medicine for their marriage."
Their trip also aligns with royal duties, as they are expected to engage with local farming communities and launch new initiatives through their Royal Foundation to support rural projects on Mull. Their itinerary includes visiting Tobermory and a local farm to learn about sustainable agriculture, highlighting their commitment to environmental causes.
Royal commentators, including Richard Fitzwilliams and Helena Chard, emphasized that William and Kate's enduring marriage is strengthened by shared passions, resilience, and their commitment to raising their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — with an appreciation for nature.
