It's hard to believe that five years have passed since millions of people around the world watched as Prince William and Kate Middleton said 'I do' at a royal ceremony at Westminster Abbey on April 29 in 2011, sealed with a picture perfect kiss on the balcony of Buckhingham palace.

Since then, the world's eyes have stayed focused on the young royals, and William, 33, and Kate, 34, have travelled the world undertaking royal tours of India, Canada and California, as well as sparing some time in their busy schedules to enjoy a picturesque honeymoon in the Seychelles.

Outside of royal engagements, William and Kate have devoted themselves to charitable work, becoming the patrons of numerous charities and using their influence to raise awareness for milirary herous, young people and conservation issues.

But it hasn't been all charity events and royal tours. The couple have also started their own family in the few years. So far, Kate and Will have had two children - Prince George Alexander Louis and Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana - and Kate has also solidified her status as the ultimate royal style icon.
