April 29 marks an entire decade since the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge married at Westminster Abbey in what was one of the most iconic royal weddings of all time. Since 2011, the couple have welcomed three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Perhaps Kate and Wills will mark their milestone with a return trip to their honeymoon destination, the North Island in the Seychelles.
