Kate Middleton and Prince William mark 13th wedding anniversary with never-before-seen photo
Kate Middleton and Prince William have released a previously unseen photograph from their wedding day to mark their 13th wedding anniversary, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The couple released the image, by favoured photographer Millie Pilkington, on social media.
The black and white image shows Prince William standing behind his bride, his hands resting on her hips.
The caption reads: “13 years ago today!”
The Prince and Princess of Wales are thought to be marking the day privately at home together, as they face the most difficult challenge of their married lives.
The Princess revealed in a video message on March 22 that she was undergoing treatment for cancer.
She appealed for space and privacy to enable her to focus on her recovery and she has since remained out of the public eye.
The Princess has praised her husband for his support during “an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family” sending an emotional message to the nation last month announcing her health news.
“Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance,” she said.
The Prince returned to work earlier this month, after a three-week-long Easter holiday, when the couple spent quality time with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
His first official engagement since the Princess revealed her news was at a food distribution charity in Surrey, where he was given cards of support from wellwishers.
William appeared touched by a message from volunteer Rachel Candappa, who told him to “take care” of his wife. He replied: “I will.”
The Prince and Princess married at Westminster Abbey on April 29 2011 after dating for eight years.
The couple met at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, and became friends first before embarking on a romance.
They wed in a grand fairy-tale ceremony. The bride wore an intricate ivory gown with lace applique floral detail designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, while the groom was dressed in the red tunic of the Irish Guards.
