In 2004, rumors of a romance surfaced after the lovebirds were photographed together for the first time during a ski trip at a Swiss resort in Klosters.

After a brief split in 2007, Middleton and William reunited and three years later, they announced their engagement to the world.

At the time, the royal presented his fiancée with his late mother Princess Diana’s famed sapphire engagement ring, which King Charles III once gave her.

She also wore a Cartier Halo tiara that was given to her by Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away in September 2022.

Since then, William and Middleton have welcomed three children: Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis 5.
