However, a lot of years have passed since that special day and in these years, the couple has welcomed three beautiful children too — Prince Louis of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. On the occasion of their marriage anniversary, they have released two photos of themselves.

What is William and Kate's combined net worth?
A decade has passed since their fairytale wedding and it has been said that together, William and Kate have built up quite the fortune. According to a 2020 Guarantor Loans’ report, their combined net worth is estimated around $50 million.
The 38-year-old prince’s individual net worth is nearly $40 million, most of which he has received from his late mother Lady Diana, from his great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and the Duchy of Cornwall fund which his father Prince Charles manages. On the other hand, Kate might be a “commoner”, but she also belongs to a well-to-do family.
At the time, when she was not associated with the royal family, her net worth was roughly around $7 million. After completing her college education, she joined the business owned by her parents, the event management company Party Pieces. Kate’s mother Carole Middleton was an air hostess, but to spend time with her family and kids, she started the firm.
“In 1987, I had two young children and was pregnant with my son, James. We had come back to the UK from living abroad and I was a full-time mum. I didn’t want to miss out on my children growing up, so I considered starting my own business. Party Pieces was a result of my personal need for my own children’s parties. You had to hunt high and low to find suitable party supplies. I found suppliers and put up notices in my daughters’ playgroup that said ‘Planning a Party?’ and started getting orders. My memories of those early days are very vivid,” Carole Middleton told Good Housekeeping in 2018.
She also mentioned how Kate also used to work for her company. “My children have all worked for the business. Catherine started the First Birthday brand — she chose the products and looked after all the imagery and the catalog production. Pippa set up the blog, as we didn’t have one. James came up with the idea of personalized cakes and got them off the ground for us. Because they all grew up with me working, Party Pieces has been very much part of our lives and what we talked about. I still ask their advice and say ‘What do you think of this?’” Carole added.
