New photos of William and Kate on their 10th wedding anniversary | UK News

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released two new portraits ahead of their 10th wedding anniversary on Thursday.

The photographs were taken at Kensington Palace this week by Chris Floyd.

Second in line to the throne, William married his former college roommate Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey in London on April 29, 2011.

Their marriage came after an eight-year relationship.

They now have three children: Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, three.

Royal writer Penny Junor said Kate – the Duchess of Cambridge – has supported William for the past 10 years.

She told the PA News Agency: “I think she was absolutely amazing and a role model of what a future queen should be.

“She’s got such poise and elegance and she’s not competing with William. She doesn’t seem to be looking for fame.

“Everything about her is measured. She’s an adult. She seems to care a lot about everything she is named after.

“And she’s very good with people but she’s not on an ego journey and I think that’s absolutely crucial in that role.”

During the coronavirus lockdowns, William and Kate baked pastries for local vulnerable people, made video calls, supported key workers, and homeschooled their children.

Kate has also focused on charitable work in the areas of mental health, the visual arts and the benefits of the outdoors.

The couple also became co-sponsors of NHS Charities Together.

The 240 NHS charities in the UK provide additional funding for hospitals, community and mental health services and ambulance services.
