What photo Prince William and Kate Middleton shared
The couple presented a relaxed, informal-style image. The photo was taken by royal photographer Matt Porteous.
In it, William and Kate are enjoying time on the grass with their three children: 12-year-old Prince George, 10-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 8-year-old Prince Louis.
“Celebrating 15 years of marriage,” the caption to the photo read.
Next to the future king, two dogs can be seen. One of them is a black cocker spaniel named Orla, while the name of the second dog has not been revealed.
The family is lying barefoot on the grass, looking relaxed and at ease. The atmosphere conveys sincerity and informality. It is known that the photo was taken during a family vacation in early April in Cornwall.
What is known about Kate Middleton and Prince William’s relationship
The love story of the couple began in 2001, when they studied at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. At first, they were friends, but later their relationship developed into a romantic one.
For some time, they managed to stay away from public attention, until in 2004 the first photos of them on holiday together appeared. In 2007, they briefly broke up, but later reunited.
Their engagement became public in 2010, when William proposed to Kate during a trip to Kenya. On April 29, 2011, they got married at Westminster Abbey.
