KATE & WILLS STRONGER THAN EVER
NEW PORTRAITS MARK THE CAMBRIDGES’ MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY
Ten years have passed since the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said ‘I do’ at their fairytale wedding at Westminster Abbey – and they have never been more in love.
To mark the special occasion, the couple released two stunning new portraits taken by esteemed British photographer Chris Floyd.
Perched on a tree branch in the garden at Kensington Palace, it’s clear that a dashing Prince William only has eyes for his wife Kate, who looked beautiful in a blue floral dress by fashion label Ghost.
In a touching nod to the early days of their romance, the couple cuddled up to recreate their famous engagement portrait taken by Mario Testino.
It comes after the pair put on a loved-up display as they undertook one of their first public engagements since Prince Philip’s death, visiting a youth project in north-east England.
After the heartache of recent weeks, the royal couple used the trip as a chance to commemorate their 10th wedding anniversary by giving back – heading to one of the projects that benefited from their 2011 Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund.
The Cheesy Waffles Project supports children, young people and adults with additional needs aged 7 to 35 from County Durham.
During the visit, the pair chatted with locals, helped with craft activities and practised their golf swings. William, who famously has a scar on his head after getting hit with a golf club as a boy, laughed as Kate missed her first shot at the ball. The couple also spoke to young people who had completed their Duke of Edinburgh Award, a timely reminder of the good work done by the late Prince Philip.
Wills chatted about the duke with two award winners, asking them, “Did you know he was my grandfather?” He added: “Sadly, he died a few weeks ago. He would have been so pleased that you got your awards.” Earlier in the day the pair, on their first joint royal engagement outside of London since December 2020, met the owners of a family-run farm, cuddled some sheep and drove a tractor as they spoke about the effect of COVID-19 on farmers across the UK.
