On July 23, 1986, Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey, and among the thousands of guests, was a young Prince William, aged four, who played a special role as a page boy.
Dressed in a sailor suit, William was photographed arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, waving to the crowds that had gathered to witness the royal nuptials, and pictures show he was just as cheeky as his son, Prince Louis, is now.
The wedding was a lavish affair, with notable guests, and after the ceremony, the couple shared a kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Prince William‘s participation in the wedding highlighted his early involvement in royal duties and his close family ties, particuarly with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Just like his youngest son, Prince Louis, does now, the Prince of Wales also often broke free from the shackles of serious royal behaviour and showed off his mischievous side.
Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew had eight pageboys and bridesmaids to follow them up the aisle, including Prince William, Peter Phillips, Zara Phillips and Lady Jane Fellowes – the niece of Diana, Princess of Wales.
