A Decade Later: Prince Charles’ Touching Comment About Kate Middleton

It has been ten years since the world witnessed the beautiful union of Kate Middleton and Prince William at Westminster Abbey.

The royal wedding was watched by almost 2 billion people globally, making it one of the most famous weddings in history.

As the media continues to unearth interesting details about the event, a touching comment made by Prince Charles about his new daughter-in-law has come to light.

During the Queen's afternoon champagne reception at Buckingham Palace, Prince Charles gave a toast to the newlyweds.

He referred to Kate as “the daughter he never had” and expressed his happiness in having her as part of the royal family.

Charles, who once yearned for a daughter in his marriage to Diana, wished the bride and groom a lifetime of happiness together.

The wedding ceremony was held on April 29th, 2011, at Westminster Abbey and was attended by 1,900 guests, including celebrities and fellow royals.

Prince Harry acted as best man, while Kate's younger sister Pippa Middleton was made of honour.

The Queen hosted a lunchtime reception at Buckingham Palace, where the bride and groom greeted guests and cut their eight-tiered fruitcake.

The couple then stepped out onto the iconic balcony of Buckingham Palace and shared not one, but two kisses, prompting cheers and applause from the thousands of well-wishers along the Mall.

Later that evening, Prince Charles hosted dinner and drinks for William and Kate's 300 closest friends at the palace.

Prince Harry is said to have delivered a light-hearted best man speech, keeping up tradition by poking fun at the groom and paying tribute to his new sister-in-law.

William and his father also said a few words and kept up the banter with some gentle mocking of their own.

Charles made a reference to his eldest son's bald spot and joked that he would push his wheelchair off a cliff, while William responded with a quip about his father's waistline.

In his speech, the groom expressed his love for Kate and the importance he placed on family.

It was also revealed that William made a sweet promise to Kate before their royal wedding.

In the Amazon Prime documentary, “Kate Middleton: Working Class to Windsor,” royal correspondent and biographer Kate Nicholl explained the agreement that William and Kate made to guarantee she would still have plenty of time with her family after their wedding.

William promised her that they'd always stay a part of the family, and they have done so.

Ten years on, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are now the proud parents of Prince George, Seven, Princess Charlotte, who turns six next month, and Prince Louis, who has just turned three.

Despite the challenges and public scrutiny that come with being part of the royal family, William and Kate have remained devoted to each other and their family.

As we celebrate the ten-year anniversary of their wedding, it is clear that Prince Charles' touching comment about Kate Middleton has stood the test of time.

The Duchess of Cambridge has become an integral part of the royal family, and her warmth and grace have won her many admirers around the world.

We wish the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge many more happy years together as they continue to inspire us with their love and commitment.
