The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton back in 2011 was watched by millions all over the world eager to see the couple tie the knot in a fairytale ceremony

He ended up going back on his decision to wear an Irish Guards frock coat and instead went for the red tunic of the Irish Guards, which had been Queen Elizabeth's choice - and he says this taught him a vital lesson.

We had a couple of discussions on this matter but, as I learnt growing up, you don’t mess with your grandmother. What she says goes."
William said in 2012: "Things were rapidly building up steam towards the wedding. I was given a list in the first meeting of 777 names and not one of them I knew. It was a bit daunting and it was like, that seems to be the guest list sorted – no room for friends or family. I wasn’t too happy about it so I rang [the Queen] for a bit of moral support and a bit of backup. She said, 'don’t be so ridiculous, get rid of the list, and start from your friends'.
