11. Kate’s weird wedding present.
When you think about how many guests attended Kate and William’s 2011 wedding, it makes you a little bit sick to think about all the presents they must have received…

The ceremony took place on April 29, 2011, at Westminister Abbey with around 1,900 guests: including foreign royalty, prime ministers, religious figures and celebrities from around the world.
In the months running up to the wedding, the soon-to-be-married couple set up a gift fund held by The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry – it allowed the public to donate money to charities they were involved with: the armed forces, children, the elderly, art, sport and conservation.

However, Boris Johnson being the man he is decided that donating money wasn’t good enough for the newlyweds, so decided to gift them a tandem bike as well – on behalf of the people of London of course.
Earlier in the day, the mayor, who attended the service at Westminster Abbey, said: “I am delighted to have this amazing opportunity, on behalf of London, to wish Prince William and Kate Middleton a long, prosperous and joyous life together.
“It’s a fantastic day for the city and obviously it shows the city off at its best.

He said: “I look forward to seeing the newly-weds on tandem wheels as they start their new life in Anglesey.”
