Ten years ago, Kate Middleton made her spectacular entrance at Westminster Abbey as she prepared to tie the knot with her Prince Charming, Prince William.
The Duchess of Cambridge was a vision in white in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress, which she paired with a floral, lace-trimmed veil that fell just below her waist.

In her 2013 biography, Kate: A Biography, royal author Marcia Moody writes: "Harry looked back as Kate started walking down the aisle and reported back to his brother, 'Right, she is here now.'" The royal best man then said: "Well, she looks beautiful, I can tell you that."

The Cambridges exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011. After the church ceremony, which was attended by 1,900 guests, the newlyweds took a quick trip in the 1902 State Landau carriage along the processional route to Buckingham Palace, while waving at the cheering crowds.
Thousands of spectators and royal fans had gathered in central London for the royal wedding, and in particular along the Mall where they hoped to catch a glimpse of William and Kate kiss on the iconic Buckingham Palace balcony. Putting their own spin on the tradition, the pair kissed twice for the crowds.
