Kensington Palace shares sweet, candid shot of Kate Middleton and Prince William to celebrate seventh wedding anniversary

And to celebrate their anniversary, Kensington Palace led the way with the celebrations with a sweet throwback photo from the big day on April 29, 2011.

The adorable shot shows the happy couple on their wedding day driving down the Mall in William’s balloon-decorated, open-topped vintage car with the registration plate “JU5T WED”.

The official Instagram account added the caption: “Seven years ago today – thank you for all the lovely messages on The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding anniversary!”

Prince William and Kate Middleton married at Westminster Abbey and the spectacular day was watched live by 36 million people.

Their seven-year milestone comes just after the pair welcomed their third child – Prince Louis Arthur Charles –on St George’s Day.

No doubt the parents, who also have two other kids under five, Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte, two, will have their hands full on their special day.

The seventh anniversary traditional theme is wool or copper, so perhaps they will exchange knitwear or kitchen items as gifts.

The royal couple have seen an outpouring of supportive messages in honour of their anniversary.

One Twitter user said: “Happy Wedding Anniversary to Kate and William. Have a wonderful day. God bless you both on your new baby Son Prince Louis.”

Another tweeted: “If you need a reason to smile today, it’s William and Kate’s anniversary.”

The wedding came a decade after the pair met, with Wills and Kate having first crossed paths back at uni in 2001.

Both students at St Andrews, the royal couple got on like a house on fire during their student days, and coupled up in 2003.

The engagement came seven years later in October 2010, sparking mass excitement all over the world at the prospect of a royal wedding.

Kate and Prince William's child, Prince Louis, appears to have been named after Louis Mountbatten, the much-loved uncle of Prince Philip who was killed by an IRA bomb in 1979.

His full title is His Royal Highness Prince Louis Arthur Charles of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The tot, born a healthy 8lbs 7oz on Monday, will join Prince George and Princess Charlotte in the next generation of the royal family.

The newborn shares the French name with his brother George, who has it as one of his middle names. Louis – which is to be pronounced with a silent "s" – is also one of William's middle names.
