social media account captioned a never-before-seen throwback wedding day image of the couple.And as for celebrations, the pair are marking their anniversary “very privately and quietly,” according to Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell.“William is not a show person,” Burrell revealed. “He is a very private man and celebrations are done behind closed doors.

It is personal to him and he and Kate are forging their future together privately.” The royal expert noted that the Prince, 41, is set to whip up a special meal for his leading lady in the kitchen.“They don’t have a full-time cook, they borrow staff from the King whenever they have dinner parties or something formal,” Burrell shared.“Privately, they will muddle through themselves,” he adds. “William is quite capable of rustling up a decent meal in candlelight for him and Kate.”As for gifts, the duo have an annual “family tradition” they keep up with every year that sees William gift the Princess a piece of jewelry made especially for her.Burrell notes that William likes to treat Kate, 42, “as his wife, not as a princess.”“Both his father and his grandfather fell into that tradition, they both had jewelry made for their wives on a special occasion,” Burrell reveals.“They do have date nights outside their anniversary,” Burrell said on behalf of Spin Genie.

They take private time out for just the two of them, they will just have a nice romantic candlelit dinner for themselves.”“They make a special effort to do that because their life is such a public one.

They treasure the private moments,” he added.It’s safe to say the pair’s low-key celebration is set to be a special one, considering the difficult start to the year Middleton had faced following her abdominal.
