Prince William and Kate Middleton release never-before-seen photo to mark 13th wedding anniversary
Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a never-before-seen photo from their wedding this week as they celebrated 13 years of marriage. The Prince and Princess of Wales wed on April 29, 2011 – we know, has it really been that long? – and yesterday posted the aforementioned picture to mark their emotional anniversary.
The black-and-white image shows Kate holding her wedding bouquet, with William standing behind her, his hands lovingly placed on her waist.
“13 years ago today!” read the caption of the post, shared across the couple’s social media channels.
Credit for the new image was given to Millie Pilkington, the portrait photographer responsible for the photo of King Charles and Queen Camilla released to celebrate the first anniversary of their coronation.

Prince William and Kate originally met as students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2001, ten years before they eventually tied the knot.
The couple now share three children: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 6.
Though sharing the never-before-seen portrait from their wedding day might not seem too significant, royal fans around the world eagerly welcome every update, especially following the shocking announcement of Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
Earlier this year, the Princess of Wales became the subject of mass conjecture and speculation after stepping back from the limelight following what Kensington Palace termed a “planned abdominal procedure” in January.
Kate ultimately revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer, though she did not specify the type or stage.
In the same video, she confirmed she would be undergoing a form of preventative chemotherapy to combat the disease.
There hasn’t been much said about the Princess’s condition or health since then, though William resumed his royal duties last week.
“He is a very reliable, strong person. She doesn’t feel isolated in this because of William, who is right beside her,” a source told PEOPLE about the royal couple’s bond.
According to PEOPLE, William and Kate are known to spend a lot of time at their country home of Anmer Hall, part of the royal estate of Sandringham.
It is there that Kate is said to feel most ‘at home.’
