Prince William Steps Into Greater Royal Duties While Celebrating Marriage Milestone
Prince William has been taking on increasingly significant royal responsibilities that royal experts interpret as preparation for his future role as monarch. Recently, the Prince represented King Charles at the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome and attended the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris, standing alongside world leaders like Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron.
Royal commentator Hugo Vickers noted these high-profile international appearances as evidence William is being accelerated into more prominent duties, particularly while King Charles deals with health concerns. These engagements place him "up there with the big boys" on the world stage.
Meanwhile, William and Catherine celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary with a joint visit to Scotland, where they used their Scottish titles as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay. The couple visited the Isles of Mull and Iona, including Tobermory, on April 29, 2025. This marked Catherine's first public work engagement since St. Patrick's Day.
A source cited in the Daily Mail offered insights into their relationship dynamics, claiming that Prince William "flies off the handle at any sign of Catherine being patronised," highlighting his protective nature toward his wife.
Royal fans recently celebrated the couple's anniversary by sharing memories of their 2011 wedding, particularly noting the touching detail that they departed Westminster Abbey in King Charles's Aston Martin—a 21st birthday gift to Charles from Queen Elizabeth II that has been converted to run on biofuel.
