The opera singer, 40, shared an adorable photo of her son Xander holding onto the gates in the stunning gardens as he gazed at the Tudor palace in Richmond, which is a popular wedding destination in the UK.

However, Katherine and Andrew – who are also parents to daughter Aaliyah – were treated to a special tribute on their nuptials, in honour of the singer's Welsh heritage.

One follower commented: "Am I correct in thinking that they flew the Welsh Flag from the Palace on your special day as well?" Katherine replied: "They did Ian! Special permission as it’s never happened before."

The dress featured a fine pleated chiffon bodice and over 15 metres of silk organza to create the full skirt and train. Katherine topped off her bridal look with a flowing veil.

This is not the first time Katherine and Andrew have returned to their wedding venue. In 2019, the couple were pictured walking up the steps of the building hand-in-hand, as they attended Prince Harry's Sentebale concert.
