This Moment Caused Kate Middleton to Exclaim "Look at His Knees!" During Her First Royal Event 15 Years Ago

Prince William and Princess Kate are approaching their 15th wedding anniversary in April, and during this week in 2011, Kate Middleton marked the official start of her royal career. Her first royal engagement fell on February 24, 2011, when William and Kate christened a lifeboat near their then-home in Anglesey, Wales. The bride-to-be's royal debut was deemed a success as she charmed fans during the event, and one man presented her with an especially sentimental gift.

Retiree Colin Edwards waited with the 2,000-person-strong crowd to meet Prince William's future wife, and as reported by the Times in February 2011, gave Kate a sweet photo of Princess Diana with Prince William and Prince Harry when they were children.
