Prince William, Kate Middleton celebrate 10th wedding anniversary with new photos

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released adorable new portraits as they prepare to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.

A decade on and Prince William and Kate Middleton still look as in love as they did on their royal wedding day.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released two new portraits to mark their 10th wedding anniversary today, shot by legendary British photographer Chris Floyd.

The pictures show a smiling and relaxed duke and duchess holding hands and embracing in the grounds of their home, Kensington Palace.

Kate, 39, wears a floaty blue dress by UK designer Ghost, her $680,000 sapphire engagement ring and her hair styled in signature bouncy waves.

Meanwhile the future King, 38, wears a blue sweater over a collared blue shirt and trousers.

After seven years of dating and the British public anxiously waiting, the duo finally tied the knot in a historic day at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.

More than one million people gathered between the church and Buckingham Palace to get a glimpse of the royal couple riding on-board their horse-drawn carriage, while the ceremony was watched by two billion people around the world.

Will and Kate first met while studying at St Andrews University in Scotland in 2001, before they began dating in 2003.

They suffered a high-profile split in 2007 for several months before reconciling their relationship the following year and getting engaged in 2010.

Their engagement was publicly announced in November, with a famous portrait photo taken at St James Palace which showed Kate wearing Princess Diana’s sapphire engagement ring.

During their engagement interview, William said: “We had a little private time away together with some friends, and I just decided it was the right time really.”

A new BBC documentary is set to air tomorrow to celebrate the couple’s famous wedding day.

Royal Wedding: A Day To Remember will feature an interview with Dr Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury who married the couple, and then prime minister David Cameron.

Dr Williams says: “I really thought, ‘I have arrived at last,’ when I gave up my place in the queue for the bathroom to David and Victoria Beckham.

“I thought, ‘I’ve arrived, celebrity at last’.”

He added: “I think they’ve completely lived up to the promise they made of believing in public service.”
