William and Kate's love through the years

CELEBRITY Royals

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has stated that the Prince and Princess of Wales won't be marking the special occasion with splendor this year. This decision comes as Kate undergoes preventative chemotherapy after a significant abdominal surgery in January that led to her cancer diagnosis. Their celebration will be kept private.
