Their two-day official visit also included Iona, with engagements focused on island community life, local food and farming, outdoor learning and conservation. In Scotland, the couple are styled the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay.
Where and when the anniversary visit took place
The anniversary fell on Tuesday, 29 April 2025. The couple marked it in Tobermory, Mull, during the first day of an official visit that continued on 30 April and included both Mull and Iona. The Royal Family described the visit as an opportunity to connect with rural island communities and highlight social connection and care for nature. The Royal Family’s account was published on 30 April.
ITV reported that it was the couple’s first joint official visit to the Inner Hebrides. ITV also reported that they stayed in a self-catered cottage on Mull, and that they first met while studying at the University of St Andrews. Those details are from ITV’s contemporaneous coverage, not the Royal Family’s itinerary. Read ITV’s report.
What William and Kate did on Mull
Aros Hall and Tobermory’s artisan market
Their first-day itinerary began in Tobermory at Aros Hall and an artisan market. Aros Hall is a local gathering place that hosts a weekly producers’ market, sewing club, lunch club, toddler group and the island’s only soft play area, according to the Royal Family’s 2025 account. The same account said its Community Fridge diverted over 60 tonnes of food from landfill in the preceding year.

Croft 3: farming, food and local produce
At Croft 3, a working croft and restaurant, the couple toured part of the property, whose land extends to 50 acres, saw Hebridean sheep and helped choose garden produce for the day’s menu. The visit connected food served locally with the farming and land stewardship that are part of island life.
The second day: forest learning and the ferry to Iona
On 30 April, the couple met the Mull and Iona Ranger Service at Ardura Community Forest and joined an outdoor learning group. Their final public engagement was a public ferry crossing to Iona, where they met ferry operators and island residents. The itinerary brought together conservation work, learning outside and the transport link on which residents and visitors rely.
