The royals were celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary on the low-key day, marking the moment that they said "I do" on April 29, 2011, in the festive ceremony at Westminster Abbey. "They will be spending it privately," a Kensington Palace spokesperson tells Us Weekly of the couple's anniversary plans.

A source tells Us that Prince George stayed back at Kensington Palace with his nanny Maria. Though palace sources remain tight-lipped about the outing, some are speculating that the pregnant Duchess went swimming to help induce labor.
