On April 29, Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrated 13 years of marriage by revealing a special snapshot from their wedding celebrations. Yet, sharp-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice a curious detail in the photo, sparking widespread discussion.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a black and white photograph taken by photographer Millie Pilkington on their official Instagram account, accompanied by the caption, “13 years ago today!”
In the monochrome portrait, Prince William and Princess Catherine were depicted standing side by side, wearing smiles. The royal bride held a bouquet primarily composed of lily of the valley, Queen Elizabeth‘s beloved flower. She radiated elegance in Queen Elizabeth’s Cartier Halo Tiara, paired with a white V-neck gown adorned with lace overlay, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
Online, a surge of thousands of well-wishers flooded in to extend their heartfelt congratulations to the couple on this special occasion.
However, one particular detail piqued the interest of observers, who noticed that Prince William’s uniform in the photo looked different from what they remembered from 2011. One person wondered, ”Why is he wearing a black uniform in this picture? He wore a red one to his wedding. Isn’t this the uniform he wore at Harry’s wedding? Is anyone else seeing this?”
The explanation to this question is quite simple. In fact, Prince William made an outfit change after the ceremony. Initially, he wore the red tunic of the Irish Guards, as he was Colonel in Chief at the time. Later, he switched to the black uniform of the Blues and Royals, as seen in the new photo.
We extend our congratulations to this inspirational couple as well. Recently, Princess Catherine and Prince William made headlines because sources have reported that they might become King and Queen “much sooner” than planned. Check the details here.

Katie Ledecky Shatters Olympic Record After Team USA’s Stunning Silver Win!
Katie Ledecky broke another record on Thursday after Team USA won a silver medal in the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay.
The 27-year-old is now the most decorated woman in Olympic swimming history with 13 medals. This latest win broke her tie with swimmers Natalie Coughlin, Jenny Thompson, and Dara Torres.
The Maryland native won her eighth gold and 12th overall medal on Wednesday in the 1500m freestyle. She finished the race in record time – 15:30.02 – tying Thompson for the most gold medals by any female swimmer in Olympic history.
While swimming, Ledecky told reporters she let her mind wander and thought about everyone who helped her get to where she is today.
“And I kind of let my mind wander during the race, thinking of all the people that have trained with me. Was kind of like saying their names in my head and thinking about them. To my Florida crew, all those Florida boys that pushed me every day, I love you guys. I mean, I know I make your life hard a lot of days, but you guys made my life a lot easier today, so thank you so much.”
On Thursday, 27-year-old swimmer Katie Ledecky had another chance to add to her medal count.
Team USA, made up of Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell, competed in the 4 x 200m freestyle relay and finished second, behind Australia.
This win gave Ledecky her 13th medal, making her the most decorated American woman in Olympic history and the most decorated woman swimmer in the world. Only Michael Phelps, with 28 medals, has more than her.
As swimming events come to an end, Katie Ledecky still has one more chance to add to her medal collection. She will compete in the 800m freestyle on Saturday.
Even though the Paris Olympics is Ledecky’s fourth Olympics, she hopes to compete in the Los Angeles games in 2028.
“Yeah, I’ve been consistent these last few months and these last few years in saying that I would love to compete in LA, and that hasn’t changed.”
Congratulations, Katie! You are the greatest of all time.
