How will William and Kate celebrate their day?

Royal commentator Richard Palmer told the Mirror that the couple are far more likely to keep things private than step out for any public celebrations.

He said: “Whenever anyone who knows them is asked how they’ll celebrate, the answer is always the same: privately. They would both much prefer some family holiday time or a private anniversary trip to any big public declarations.

“I can see them going somewhere that means a lot to them, possibly to Africa, or maybe to Mustique.”

What a wonderful family you have created together.

He added: “They’re both quite sentimental and after everything they’ve been through, with Kate’s illness and the many changes in the family, we could see them involving other family members too, maybe Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael, because they’ve been such a big part of their life together.”

William and Kate’s journey over the past year has been especially emotional, after the Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis in 2024. She underwent treatment and confirmed in January 2025 that she was in remission.

William remained by her side throughout, later describing the year during a solo trip to South Africa in late 2024 as “brutal”.
