MILLIONS watched as Kate Middleton tied the knot with Prince William in a fairytale ceremony over a decade ago. And it turns out that royal fans may have missed a sweet question Kate asked her new husband in the carriage ride after they left Westminster Abbey. According to royal biographer Robert Jobson, the beautiful bride has a three-word query as they left the church.

He wrote in his new book, Catherine: The Princess of Wales: The Biography, that as Will and Kate climbed into their “one-topped carriage”, she turned to him and asked “are you happy?” William is said to have sweetly responded: “It was amazing. I’m so proud you’re my wife”. The future King and Queen celebrated 13 years of marriage privately this year - as Kate continues to recover following her cancer diagnosis.

She praised her husband for his support during "an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family" in an emotional message to the nation this year announcing her health news. "Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance," she said. Kate, 42, told how her diagnosis had come as a huge shock and that she and William "have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family".
