The Duke of Edinburgh and Prince William were in high spirits
Monday's ceremony took place at Runnymede, where King John of England sealed the original document in 1215.
The rededication ceremony saw the Queen unveil a plaque in memorial of the anniversary, as well as speeches from Britain's Prime Minister, David Cameron, and the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne.
William also took the time to visit a new art installation which was commissioned especially for the anniversary. Called The Jurors, the work is inspired by the 39th clause of Magna Carta, which gives the right to a jury trial.

Written in Latin and on sheepskin, the document, often considered the heralding moment of modern democracy, enshrined the rights and freedoms of society, and established that the monarchy was subject to the law.
In his speech, David Cameron said: "Why do people set such store by Magna Carta?
"Because they look to history. They see how the great charter shaped the world, for the best part of a millennium, helping to promote arguments for justice and for freedom."
