Prince William and Kate Mark 12th Wedding Anniversary with Romantic Photo
Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on April 29.
The couple, who tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in 2011, marked the occasion with a romantic photo captured by photographer Matt Porteous.
In the picture, taken in a sunny field under blue skies, the royal couple can be seen smiling and embracing each other while riding bikes.
The caption reads “12 years” accompanied by a heart emoji.
The photo not only captures the couple's love but also reflects their shared passion for the environment.
Prince William and Kate have been actively involved in environmental causes, including the recent launch of the Earthshot Prize.
This prestigious global award aims to recognize and support innovative solutions to the world's most pressing environmental challenges.
It is a testament to the couple's ongoing commitment to environmentalism.
Matt Porteous, the photographer behind the image, had previously photographed Prince William and Kate during a controversial Caribbean tour.
Despite facing criticism at the time, the couple's loyal fans flooded their anniversary posts with messages of congratulations and well wishes.
Prince William and Kate's relationship began during their time as university students in Scotland.
After a decade together, they exchanged vows and have since welcomed three children into their family: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The couple's anniversary celebration comes just days before the upcoming coronation of King Charles on May 6.
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last September, the country eagerly anticipates the pomp and pageantry of the royal family as Charles ascends to the throne.
In preparation for the coronation, Buckingham Palace recently released final photos of some senior royals.
Among them was a touching tribute from Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Camilla wore a pair of pearl earrings belonging to the Queen, honoring her memory.
Prior to their anniversary, Prince William and Kate made a poignant visit to Aberfan.
The couple paid their respects to the 116 children and 28 adults who tragically lost their lives in the Pantglas Junior School disaster on October 21, 1966.
During their emotional visit, they followed in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth II, who had visited Aberfan eight days after the tragedy.
The royal couple met with trustees from the Aberfan Memorial Trust and members of the Aberfan wives' group, who had also experienced loss in the disaster.
They toured the memorial garden, which stands on the site of the former school and serves as a tribute to the victims.
In a solemn moment, Prince William and Kate bowed their heads to honor the victims and left a floral tribute with the words “In loving memory.”
The memorial garden, opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1974, holds great significance as a place of remembrance for the Aberfan community.
The couple's visit to Aberfan not only showcased their compassion and empathy but also highlighted the importance of continuing the work started by the late Queen.
