Prince William and Catherine Middleton, officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, married on April 29, 2011 at the Westminster Abbey.

With William's mother Diana's signature oval sapphire ring on her finger, Kate looked completely in love and wonderfully happy – an unbeatable combination for a great photo. No wonder even after more than two years, the world can't stop talking about Kate Middleton.

As wedding fever gripped the world, Kate spent her last night as a single lady with her family at the Goring Hotel. Like any bride-to-be, Kate looked happy on her special night.

The grand Royal Wedding on April 29 was a stylish one with plenty of picture-perfect moments. But the famous British pomp and pageantry aside, Kate played her role as Royal bride to perfection. The fairytale Princess kissing her Prince was just as incredibly beautiful.

In November 2011, a series of these pictures of the Duchess patting her tummy frequently during a state visit to Denmark had set off baby rumours.
