Eighth wedding anniversaries are traditionally marked with gifts of bronze.
In the past year, second in line to the throne William and Kate have split their Kensington Palace household from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who moved to live in Windsor, and set up their own office in Buckingham Palace.

They have also faced reports of a rift between William and younger brother Harry.
The Cambridges, who just last week celebrated Louis’ first birthday, are getting ready for Charlotte’s fourth birthday on Thursday.

Their wedding anniversary could end up as a double celebration for the royal family if Harry and Meghan’s first born arrives by the end of Monday.
American former actress Meghan is due to give birth any day now.
The heavily pregnant ex-Suits star is likely to be resting in the Sussexes’ newly renovated home Frogmore Cottage, while Harry has been out and about, attending the London Marathon on Sunday.
