The Prince and Princess of Wales are celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary after marrying in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey back in 2011. And to mark the day, they’ve shared a beautiful, never-before-seen black and white image

The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a stunning previously unseen wedding photo from their private album.

Thrilling fans the couple marked their anniversary earlier by posting a never-before-seen black and white photo on their official social media pages from their wedding day back in 2011. It shows the newlyweds looking relaxed and smiling at Buckingham Palace after their ceremony, with Kate in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen bridal gown and veil and William standing with his hand on his wife’s waist.

The snap was taken by their personal photographer on the day, Millie Pilkington, who was hired to shoot more candid images of the couple during their wedding. Sharing the photo, it was captioned: “13 years today!” Millie also shared the image on her Instagram account and wrote: “Happy wedding anniversary! Can’t believe it’s been 13 years. Remember this moment so well. Sending you both much love in this special day.”

It comes as Kate, who dated William for eight years before they tied the knot, previously praised her husband for his support in an emotional message to the nation last month announcing her health news, saying it had been “an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family”.

She added: “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance.” Kate told how her diagnosis had come as a huge shock and that she and William “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family”.
