Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed a low-key wedding anniversary yesterday (29.04.14).
The couple - who have nine-month-old son Prince George together - celebrated three years of marriage but had no plans to mark the milestone in a big way as they are still recovering from their 19-day tour of Australia and New Zealand, from which they returned at the weekend.
Instead, a royal spokesperson said they would celebrate "privately" and it is believed they spent the day with Duchess Catherine's parents.
Although couples traditionally exchange leather gifts on their third anniversary, it was recently revealed Prince William gave his wife - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - a luxury watch as an early gift to mark the milestone.
The duchess wore the Cartier item - which is worth £3,600, made of stainless steel and embedded with a sapphire - every day on their Australasia tour.
Last year, the couple spent their wedding anniversary apart, with Catherine - who was then six months pregnant - visiting a children's hospice and William away on duty in north Wales as an RAF search and rescue pilot.
They spent their first anniversary at a friend's wedding, before spending the night at a £164-a-night pub.

Britain's Prince Harry joked his butt was too small for cycling yesterday (29.04.14).
The 29-year-old royal paid a visit to wounded troops at Tedworth House recovery centre in Tidworth, Wiltshire where he met with applicants wishing to represent the British Armed Forces team in the Invictus Games - a Paralympic-style international competition for injured military veterans - and watched them in training for three of the eight events.
After having a brief try at a static handbike, he declined a challenge to try out a recumbent bike used by amputee servicemen.
Patting his backside, he laughed and said: "I haven't got the padding for it."
Harry, who watched training sessions for wheelchair rugby and rowing, as well as the cycling, later gave a speech wishing the hopefuls luck.
He said: "I have seen how powerful sport is as a means of rebuilding confidence as well as aiding with physical rehabilitation.
"These men and women are fighters by nature. The intense physical training and competitive spirit that will be forged inside this team as they prepared to represent their country in the Invictus Games will, I hope go some way to helping the recovery not only of those who hope to be selected here today, but also inspire others along the way."
Among the people who Harry met at the event was Royal Marine Don Maclean, 36, who lost his right foot and ankle when he stepped on a roadside bomb in Afghanistan three years ago, and is hoping to compete in both wheelchair basketball and cycling.
He said: "Cycling has become a massive part of my rehabilitation.
"I wouldn't be at the stage I'm at now without it."
The prince - who recently split from girlfriend Cressida Bonas - also watched Jonathon 'Frenchie' Le Galloudec win a rowing machine race, but after the former soldier asked him to try his hand, he declined.
So far, 182 people have applied to be part of the 100-strong British team, and more are expected to before the final contestants are selected in July and August.
They will compete against 12 other nations at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from September 10 to 14.

Jake Wood thinks Jo Joyner will return to 'EastEnders' in "a few years".
The actor, who plays Max Branning in the BBC One soap, has predicted his former on-screen wife - who quit her role as Tanya Jessop last year - will come back eventually.
Jo decided to leave the Walford-based soap after seven years to spend more time with her family and take on different acting roles.
Jake told Inside Soap magazine: "I don't think it will be for a few years at least. Personally, I'd love for Jo Joyner to come back as I always enjoyed Max and Tanya's relationship. But she's doing so well with other stuff.
"I joked that if she returned before three years were up, I'd leave! She needed a proper break, time to be a mum and pursue other things. But I look forward to the day that she and Tanya come back."
Jo, who now stars in Sky Living comedy 'Trying Again', recently claimed Tanya's numerous dramatic storylines left her feeling "drained".
She said: "It's tiring. The people in soap work so hard and the fans are so faithful. It's relentless.
"It's a great gig and I'm really grateful for my time there but it is a big machine. You're churning out 20-odd scenes a day, whereas on a normal drama you'd do five or seven."

'Skins' bosses are in talks about resurrecting the show.
The hit E4 drama about a hedonistic group of teens from Bristol could be revived in the form of an online drama, just one year after its final episode aired.
Creator Bryan Elsley told RadioTimes.com: "Discussions are under way with a number of parties."
The show had three different casts over the course of its seven series, with popular characters including Tony (Nicholas Hoult), Effy (Kaya Scodelario) and Frankie (Dakota Blue Richards), and Bryan revealed the show would once again be centred around a whole new generation of friends.
He said: "Any reimagining of Skins would be from the ground up, a reimagining of the whole thing. Today's youth are very different from what they were when 'Skins' started."
Bryan is hopeful the technological advances of the modern world will offer an interesting new platform for the programme by the time plans come to fruition.
He explained: "The thing about the modern world now is that the future is neither film nor television series, not platform, nor not platforms. It is about collaboration, co-production and the internet.
"Somehow that equation has got to be worked out and I think it will be worked out quite quickly. Whether it will be worked out in time for 'Skins' I don't know."
Bryan co-created the series with his own son, Jamie Brittain, but confirmed he wouldn't be returning to produce this time around.

Coronation Street's Amy Kelly found her first lesbian kiss "daunting".
The young actress joined the ITV soap last year as Sophie Webster's new girlfriend Maddie Heath and she admits she was nervous about locking lips with stunning Brooke Vincent.
However, Amy has praised Brooke for easing her into the steamy scenes and says the pair have become close.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I'm not a lesbian and it was a bit daunting at first. But just before we filmed it, Brooke said, 'Do you want me to kiss you first?' And I said, 'OK', because she's been doing it on screen for years.
"And we had to film that one scene so many times that by the end of the day I'd got used to it.
"Now it doesn't bother me - I get on so well with Brooke it's not weird any more."
Amy is still a college student and has to juggle her role in 'Corrie' with her A-levels in art, photography and theatre studies.
She said: "It is hard, but I've only got a couple of months left until my exams."
The youngster is also coming to terms with her newfound fame and is often stopped in the street by fans asking if she's a lesbian in real life.
Amy explained: "The most frequent questions I'm asked are, 'Are you really a lesbian?' 'Is Brooke really a lesbian?' 'Have you met Michelle Keegan?' and 'Can I have Michelle's phone number?' The answers are 'No, no, yes and no!' "

'The Simpsons' won't kill off an "iconic" character.
The long-running animated comedy will say goodbye to a regular character in its Season 26 premiere later this year, but the show's producers have insisted the unlucky Springfield resident won't be one of the show's beloved core faces.
Executive producer Al Jean told TVLine.com: "The character that dies is portrayed by an actor who won an Emmy for playing that character. People who reported on it then reported we were killing an 'iconic' character. I'd like to say it's a great character, but I never used the word 'iconic'. It's a terrific character."
Al - who has branded the death the 'Yellow Wedding', referring to the numerous deaths on hit HBO show 'Game of Thrones' - went on to reveal the fateful character might pop up again in future, however.
He added: "We always have kind of a flexible reality."
Co-producer Matt Selman added: "What we told the performer is, 'This does not mean the end of your participation in 'The Simpsons'.' "
Over 25 actors have earned Emmys for their voice roles on 'The Simpsons', but one star that can be ruled out is Hank Azaria, who voices the likes of barkeeper Moe, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Chief Wiggum and Comic Book Guy.
Hank recently said: "I honestly didn't know who it was going to be. And now I do know ... I can say that it's not one of mine."

Gwyneth Paltrow says singing is her favourite "side job".
The 41-year-old actress took to the stage with country singer Holly Williams at Los Angeles' legendary Roxy Theatre on Monday night (28.04.14) and later revealed on Twitter that music comes a close second to acting for her.
Sharing a picture of the set, she posted on the social networking site: "Singing back-up, my favorite side job @hollywilliams1 @colemantime #latergram".
The actress surprised fans by jumping on stage with singer-songwriter Holly, who was supporting country rocker Jason Isbell, swaying from side-to-side in time with the music.
The 'Iron Man 3' star - who has children Apple, nine, and Moses, eight with estranged husband Chris Martin - will no doubt have picked up some tips from the Coldplay frontman, who she split from in March after 10 years of marriage.
The 'Sliding Doors' star has shown off her vocal pipes in the past with a role on hit musical TV show 'Glee', playing Spanish substitute teacher Holly Holliday.
She also starred as an alcoholic Nashville singer in 2010 movie 'Country Strong', a part for which she asked her good pal Beyonce for advice, as well as observing the superstar in action to pick up performance tips.
She explained: "I watched her [perform] a lot to see how she did it, and I was like 'S**t! I can't do that!'"

George Clooney's new fiancée snubbed him three times before agreeing to go out on a date.
The 'Monuments Men' star - whose engagement to Amal Alamuddin was announced this week - met the human rights lawyer at a "small charity fundraiser" last September and despite being instantly attracted to her, she was unimpressed by his Hollywood stature and failed to be won over by his charm.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "George immediately honed in on Amal and was formally introduced to her. He had no idea she was such an accomplished lawyer!
"She was engaging in the conversation after the introduction was made, and then did the unthinkable. Amal walked away from the group George was with! He was instantly more intrigued by her. George then inserted himself into another group Amal was talking with. She just wasn't impressed by the Hollywood actor persona.
"George asked for her phone number at the end of the night, and she refused to give it to him! Again, another first."
The hunky actor managed to obtain her number and called her the following morning to ask her out, but had to work hard to get her to agree to meet.
The source added: "She turned him down! He was absolutely shocked. No one turns George down for a date. Amal had no interest in dating an actor, but George was eventually able to convince her to go out with him to discuss his humanitarian work."
However, once they finally went out, the 36-year-old beauty was very impressed with George, 52, and his charitable and humanitarian endeavours.
The source said: "After their first date, Amal was extremely impressed with George's work in Darfur, and realised that he was much more than an actor."

Naya Rivera is not leaving 'Glee'.
The 27-year-old actress' representative has slammed claims she has been axed from the hit musical drama after a blazing row with producers over her co-star Lea Michele's "diva antics" earlier this month, insisting she will continue in her role as lesbian Santana Lopez.
Her spokesperson said: "Any reports or rumors circulating that Naya Rivera was let go or fired from Glee are absolutely untrue. End of story."
A spokesperson for the show's producers 20th Century Fox Television declined to comment on Naya's future with the show.
However, insiders told the Hollywood Reporter that claims the actress has received warning letters from the studio to change are untrue, as are reports she has been banned from the set.
Naya's future on the show was questioned when she reportedly stormed off set on April 15 after 'Cannonball' singer Lea, whose boyfriend and on-screen love interest Cory Monteith tragically passed away last year, reportedly made the rest of the cast wait to shoot a scene as she dealt with personal matters.
However, it is believed the two stars have been "icy" towards each other for a while.
An insider previously said: "Naya is jealous that Lea is the show's main star. There is a lot of sighing and eye-rolling between them. They talk behind each other's backs a lot."

Beyonce paid tribute to one of her biggest fans after the young girl lost her battle to cancer.
The 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker sent a bouquet of 90 white roses and a handwritten note to Chelsea Lee James' family, who are mourning the loss of the beloved teenager after she passed away at the age of 15 on April 21.
The family posted a picture on Facebook, which showed the flowers and the message attached.
The note read: "Donna, love and prayers to you and your family. Chelsea was a beautiful girl and I am so happy I was able to meet her. She touched my heart and I will never forget her."
Chelsea - who had been battling the illness for the past decade - was brought on stage during Beyonce's 2009 concert in Sydney, Australia, when she dedicated 'Halo' to her.
She sang: "Chelsea I can see your halo, I pray it won't fade away."
The pair were reunited backstage at the 'Mrs. Carter Show' in November after the children's cancer charity Camp Quality organised a meeting.

Andy Garcia will star in the live-action 'Max Steel' movie.
The 58-year-old actor will join Ben Winchell and Ana Villafane in the story which is based on the toy manufactured by American company Mattel.
The tale follows Max McGrath and his companion Steel as they combine their powers and Garcia - who received an Oscar nomination for 'The Godfather Part III' - will play Dr. Miles Edwards, "a brilliant and mysterious scientist", according to The Hollywood Reporter.
'Thor: The Dark World' scribe Christopher Yost will pen the script for the Stewart Hendler-directed film.
'Max Steel' shooting will begin on Tuesday (06.04.14) and is set for a 2015 release.
Mattel's Barbie is also set to hit the big screen in a film which will cover some of her most famous looks, which include princess, president and mermaid in the forthcoming picture.
Hannah Minghella, Columbia Pictures' president of production, previously said: "We've always thought that the Barbie story had great potential, but a universe of possibilities opened up when Jenny, Walter and Laurie brought us their unexpected, clever and truly funny concept."
