It was just one year ago that the world waited with bated breath to watch the fairytale wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Now as they celebrate their first anniversary, RadarOnline.com is taking a look back their year together in pictures.

After a seven week deployment, Prince William has returned to Britain to reunite with his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.

William, 29, returned with his Royal Air Force Search and Rescue helicopter crew on Wednesday morning and Kate was there to greet him at the airbase.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will be enjoying the traditional Royal Christmas celebration as planned despite his grandfather having a heart scare.

Prince Philip, 90, was airlifted 60 miles to a nearby hospital from the Sandringham estate where the Royal family have their festive celebrations. The large property is located about two hours from London.

The Queen, her son Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, all visited Prince Philip Saturday at Papworth Hospital where he had a coronary stent fitted to treat his blocked artery. William and Kate are not expected to visit him in the hospital.

“The Duke of Edinburgh had a good night and is in good spirits but he is eager to leave,” Buckingham Palace spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson said.

“Sunday’s church service is going ahead as planned and we don’t anticipate changes to the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations.”

It's hoped, but is uncertain, that Philip will be able to join the family back at their estate in time to see Kate make her five outfits changes on Christmas Day.

“Kate will need a casual outfit for breakfast, a smart outfit and a hat for the morning church service, a dress for lunch, a cocktail dress for early evening drinks and a full-length dress for the evening meal,” Royal etiquette expert Jean Broke-Smith told Grazia magazine.

Prince William put his helicopter rescue training to the test in the pre-dawn hours Sunday.

He co-piloted one of two helicopters sent out after his base received a mayday call at 2 am. It came from a large cargo ship carrying limestone that had been swamped off the coast of Wales by a huge wave, throwing its Russian crew into the sea.

William's Sea King helicopter is believed to be the one that carefully plucked two of the crew members from a floundering life raft.

Five other crewmen were still missing by the time the rescue operation was called off, and another was found dead.

"'The Duke of Cambridge was a co-pilot on one of the aircraft involved," was the very undramatic statement put out by the UK defense ministry.  He's now back at his RAF Valley base in Wales.

As RadarOnline.com has been reporting, William's younger brother, Prince Harry, is going through a very specialized helicopter training program in Arizona, and enjoying his weekends off by parting in the U.S.A.
