Let’s take a look at some of them.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

This is the now-iconic picture of William and Kate kissing on the balcony at their wedding which we so hoped Meghan and Harry would recreate – alas their wedding took place at the smaller St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, not at Westminster Abbey. The picture was photobombed by young Grace Van Cutsem who found the crowd far too loud.
