It has been 11 years since the world was introduced to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s adorable bridesmaids and pageboys at their wedding on April 29, 2011.

The world was in awe of the children, all of whom had close connections to William and Kate – including some being of royal birth themselves.
Ahead of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 11th wedding anniversary, Daily Star has taken a look at where the bridesmaids and pageboys are now.
