Prince and Princess of Wales set for special celebrations this week after joint outing

The Prince and Princess of Wales are set for more celebrations this weekend after a royal visit to a place that holds special memories for the couple.

William, 40, and Kate, 41, will mark their 12^th wedding anniversary on Saturday 29 April and it comes a day after their two-day trip to the South Wales Valleys and Mid Wales from Thursday to Friday.

The Prince married his long-term university girlfriend, Kate Middleton, in a Westminster Abbey royal wedding that was watched around the globe in 2011.

The royal bride looked beautiful in a satin and lace gown designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. The late Queen Elizabeth II also loaned Kate the Cartier Halo tiara, which was made in 1936 for King George VI's wife, Elizabeth.  

Just before their wedding, the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge moved into a cottage on the Bodorgan Estate in Anglesey, an island off the north-west coast of Wales, where William was stationed as a search and rescue pilot.
