Prince William and Princess Catherine have celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary during their official visit to Scotland’s Isle of Mull.

The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new instagram photo marking the occasion with their arms around each other, captioned “Wonderful to be back on the Isle of Mull”, before signing off with a love heart emoji.

The royal couple, who married at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, have already been touring the island in what is the first overnight stay on an official engagement for Kate, since her cancer treatment, underscoring the significance of the visit.

More than 200 cheering tourists and locals turned out to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, their official titles while in Scotland, in the main street of Tobermory.

The BBC’s royal writers reported that the couple had wanted to visit Mull for some time, given how the Princess of Wales has cited how connecting with nature had aided her recovery.

The Prince and Princess have taken a low-key approach to their anniversary celebrations however, with the pair set to spend the night in a self-catering holiday cottage on the island, according to the British national broadcaster.

The move is part of a concerted push to support the tourism industry on the Scottish isles.

The happy couple have already made a tour of a community centre, Aros Hall, a charity shop and an indoor play area for kids.

At Aros Hall, where William and Kate helped build a cabinet for a community fridge dedicated to food donations, one committee member wished the future King a happy anniversary while teenage islander Sorley Carmichael played his bagpipes to welcome the royal couple.

“I wasn’t asked to play but just thought I’d come and let them see some Scottish culture,” said Sorley, 16.
