Celebrity Kate and The Queen: How Their Moments Match Up! By Jennifer Merritt Jennifer Merritt Instagram Twitter Jennifer Merritt wants to live in a world where typing counts as a workout and chocolate and peanut butter are considered food groups. As deputy editor for InStyle.com, she's interviewed everyone from Chelsea Clinton to Rob Lowe. When she's not writing and editing, she can be found endlessly (and fruitlessly) cleaning up after her toddler and falling asleep while reading.

And now, 67 years later, we're reveling in the still-strong marriage of the pair, now known as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. PHOTOS: Highlights From Our Live Royal Wedding Coverage Just a few short years ago, the world rallied around another royal wedding, that of Prince William and Kate Middleton, on April 29, 2011. Despite the 64-year gap between the two events, there are many similarities between the two couples, which we've rounded up in this slideshow. Still, as fun as it all is to look at, the parallel we truly hope to see is that Kate and William have just as strong and lasting of a union as the young queen and her prince. All hail to love!
