Kate Middleton and Prince William Release New Photos Ahead of Their Tenth Anniversary

It's hard to believe that it's been a decade since Prince William and Kate Middleton walked down the aisle. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary tomorrow, April 29. In honor of the big day, the couple released two new portraits, taken this week at Kensington Palace. British photographer Chris Floyd captured the images.

For the first photo, the Duke and Duchess hold hands while surrounded by trees and greenery. Kate is wearing a long sleeved floral blue dress. William sports a blue button down and matching sweater, color coordinating with his wife.

In the second photo, seen below, the Duke and Duchess share a smiling embrace on the palace grounds. Kate's sapphire engagement ring features prominently in the shot.

In 2011, the royal wedding captivated audiences globally, as the Duchess of Cambridge walked down the Westminster Abbey aisle. Kate wore a now-iconic Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress, paired with the Cartier Scroll tiara, lended to her by Queen Elizabeth. The pair said their vows, rode in a carriage procession, waved from the Buckingham Palace balcony, and then ventured to a private evening reception (after an outfit change, of course).

Much has happened since then. A slew of other royal weddings ensued, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, plus Princess Eugenie and, last year, Princess Beatrice. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The pair have also assumed greater royal responsibilities, as William prepares to eventually become King.

While we do not know exactly how the couple is spending their anniversary, the family has been spotted out and about in London, as their children are now in school in-person. In fact, their youngest, Prince Louis, recently celebrated both his first day of pre-school and his third birthday. Indeed, this year's anniversary may not include a large party, but it's safe to assume there will be some quality family time.
