"What many people don’t know is that Kate’s new husband, Prince William, was on hand later that day to help out, much to the surprise of her humbled hairdressers. “I wanted to show Kate the back of her hair [getting ready at Clarence House for the evening party] and I was struggling to walk with this 500-year-old mirror, and he just said, ‘Let me give you a hand,’ and I said, ‘No, no, honestly,’ but he took one end and I’ve got the other and we’re shuffling along with this mirror – he’s great, he really is."

“She has such a wicked sense of humor,” Ward says of Kate, who still frequents his Chelsea salon. (Pryce has since left). “It’s quite dry, there’s no airs and graces – you can have a good joke with her.”

As for William, his talents are endless. “The first time I went round to their house, it was actually William that made me a cup of tea! That was very nice.”

Holding the baby: Kate and Wills get hands on with a little one

Naturals. I love Kate’s little giggle when she repeats “super baby”

“I’d like to apologize now for anyone she may hurt with that umbrella!”

“…to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse: for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God’s holy law; and thereto I give thee my troth…”

A year ago today, a promise was made by Prince William and his bride Catherine Middleton; a promise to love one another until their hearts stopped beating. We watched, we laughed, and though some of us will refuse to admit it, we cried when they said I do. Even that oh-so-adorable balcony kiss had us all wishing them the very best for their future. Now, after a year of royal tours, speculation of royal babies and even seven weeks apart, the royal lovebirds are celebrating their first year together. Let’s all wish them a very happy first wedding anniversary, and a mutual hope that their love will continue to strengthen as the years go by. Happy Anniversary, you two!

William and Kate’s first year of wedded bliss
One year ago, blushing bride Kate Middleton walked up the aisle at London’s Westminster Abbey, completing her transformation from commoner to Duchess.
It has been a whirlwind first year of marriage for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, including tours to Canada and the US and dozens of official engagements in the UK.
But that doesn’t mean they haven’t had time for romance – these pictures prove that no matter where they go, William and Catherine only have eyes for each other.
