Queen Elizabeth II reportedly made a rare move in order to please her grandson, Prince William, ahead of his and Princess Kate's wedding day. The Prince and Princess of Wales are celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary today and will shortly arrive at the Isle of Mull, where they will stay for two days.

The couple tied the knot on April 29, 2011, at a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London. The ceremony was watched by millions worldwide. Two years after their wedding the couple had their first child, Prince George, then Princess Charlotte in 2015 and Prince Louis in 2018.

But it appears that as their special day was approaching, there was one key detail that left the future King "unhappy" and the late monarch had to step in.

During the BBC documentary Royal Wedding: A Day to Remember, the Sunday Times's Roya Nikkhah said that the prince was shocked to find that the suggested guestlist for the wedding featured no one that the couple knew.

She said: "When the guest list was drawn up [Prince William] was very bemused and had a conversation with the Queen to say 'I don't know any of these people'.

"He wasn't very happy about it. The Queen just said to him, rip that list up and start where you want to start from and invite who you want - and that's what they did."

The Waleses ended up filling the Abbey with 2,000 guests, including members of foreign royal families, Government and Commonwealth representatives, as well as friends of the couple and well-known figures from the worlds of sport and entertainment.

One of the couple's friends was John Haley, the landlord of The Old Boot Inn in Kate's hometown. Mr Haley said: "It was great that Kate and William were allowed to invite all their own friends.

"Friends from the village, from uni, friends that she grew up with. She invited me, I've known her 15 years or so. It was fabulous."

For her wedding, Princess Kate donned a beautiful Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown, which featured French Chantilly lace and English Cluny lace throughout the bodice, skirt and underskirt.

An ivory silk tulle veil adorned with hand-embroidered flowers was added and held in place by the Cartier Halo tiara, lent to Kate by the Queen.

She also wore diamond drop earrings by Robinson Pelham and handmade satin and lace shoes by Alexander McQueen.
