Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, celebrated their marriage yesterday.
In honor of their 12th wedding anniversary, the royals shared a never-before-seen photo on their official Instagram page. In the image, which was captured by Matt Porteous last year, the couple smile during a bike-riding excursion in Norfolk, posing with their arms around each other.
Both of the royals dressed casually for the pic, with Kate choosing a semi-sheer white eyelet top, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers. She added a brown crossbody bag and mirrored sunglasses perched atop her head. Meanwhile, William wore a navy Ralph Lauren button-down with a pair of classic blue jeans, a black belt, and navy running sneakers.
"12 years ❤️," the couple captioned the sweet pic.
The new pic is part of a series of photographs that Porteous previously captured of the Wales family, which have been shared over the course of the past year. For the U.K.'s Mother's Day last March, Kate shared a lovely image of herself smiling with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as the group of four sat in a tree.
George and Louis wore short-sleeved collared shirts and shorts for the family pic, while Charlotte chose an adorable jean jumper dress with cap sleeves trimmed in red adornments.
The family's 2022 Christmas Card featured a photo of all five family members, showing the group walking in a garden—potentially part of their home, Adelaide Cottage in Windsor—as they all hold hands, with William framing the kids on the left and Kate on the right.
