This feast of the fatuous marks a year since the royal wedding (sorry, “fairy-tale wedding”) and is as cloying as you’d expect. Royal watchers tell us William and Kate are a lovely couple, and a “body language expert” offers her profound observations: “They smile at each other and they flirt with each other. It’s really cute to watch. It’s very sexy.”

Milestones in the couple’s year include Kate’s various wardrobe choices and William’s enjoyment of a pub quiz near his home base on Anglesey, which royal expert Katie Nicholls helpfully informs us is “a small island off of [sic] Wales”.

About this programme

The story of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first 12 months of marriage, from their fairy-tale wedding on April 29, 2011, to their state visit to North America and everyday life on Anglesey. Royal photographer Hugo Burnand takes viewers behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace, while the Dean of Westminster recalls the atmosphere in the Abbey on the morning of the ceremony, and those who have encountered the couple during the past year give first-hand accounts and anecdotes of their experiences. Narrated by Lesley Sharp.
