On April 29, Prince William and Princess Kate will be celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary. As they prepare to do so, royal expert Robert Hardman has decided to give fans a glimpse back at the engagement that drove people wild and of course led to the wedding of the century.

“When a royal couple tell us they’re engaged, we’re fascinated by everything from the dress design to who the bridesmaids and best man will be and where we’re going to watch it” he explained. “People love to makea day of it with street parties and things, so there’s huge interest from the word go.”

“I knew if this thing disappeared, I’d be in a lot of trouble,” he quipped. Glad it didn’t go missing then.
