See How Prince William, Duchess Kate, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Have Transformed Through the Decade in Photos

Oh, how the years go by! Prince William, Duchess Kate, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have changed a lot since 2010. At the beginning of the decade, William and Kate, both 37, were still boyfriend and girlfriend. By November 2010, however, the couple took the next step. “It was about three weeks ago on holiday in Kenya. We had a little private time away together with some friends and I just decided that it was the right time, really,” William revealed during the the pair’s joint engagement interview. “We had been talking about marriage for a while so it wasn’t a massively big surprise.” Less than a year later, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in London on April 29, 2011. During the decade, the twosome added three children to their family: Prince George (born in 2013), Princess Charlotte (2015) and Prince Louis (2018). “It’s not unusual to have a few hiccups in a marriage, especially after eight years, and Kate and William are no different,” a source told Us Weekly about the duo in June 2019. “They’re still going strong. Regardless of their ups and downs, they love each other dearly and their kids are the most important thing in their lives.” Harry, for his part, met his future wife, Meghan, in 2016.

We’re two people who are really happy and in love,” the former actress told Vanity Fair in 2017. “We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news, and I was working during that whole time, and the only thing that changed was people’s perception. Nothing about me changed. I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship.” Two months after her interview was published, Harry got down on one knee. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their union official by exchanging vows at Windsor Castle in England in May 2018. A year later, Meghan gave birth to their son, Archie.

Duchess Meghan

Meghan landed her biggest acting role at the start of the decade as Rachel Zane on the USA drama Suits. She went onto play the character for seven seasons. Meghan’s last appearance aired in 2018. 

She retired from acting, however, in November 2017 after announcing her engagement to Harry.

“I think what’s been so exciting [transitioning] out of my career and into, as you said, the causes I can focus even more energy on, very early out of the gate, [is that you] have a voice that people listen to, a lot of responsibility,” she said at the time. “I see it is a new change, a new chapter. I’ve been working on my show for seven years, we were so fortunate to have that longevity, and I feel like I checked that box and am very proud of the work I’ve done there.”

Prince Harry

At the start of the decade, Harry was still serving in the army. Shortly before he stopped serving in 2015, the prince launched the Invictus Games, an annual sporting event for wounded, injured or sick members of the armed services. The event is still a priority for Harry going into 2020.

Prince William

William stopped serving with the British Armed Forces in September 2013, two months after he became a father. It’s possible that by the end of next decade the prince will be one step closer to being named the King of England. He is currently second in line to the throne, behind his father, Prince Charles.

Duchess Kate

Kate’s life changed drastically when she married William in April 2011, and the duchess gave the world a look into her future as the Queen of England by rocking the Lover’s Knot, a pearl-embellished tiara, at the Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace at the end of the decade.
