William and Kate share adorable new family picture on their 15th wedding anniversary

The Prince and Prince of Wales have marked their 15th wedding anniversary by sharing an adorable new photo of the family.

The picture shows the family lying together in the grass on a sun-kissed day.

William and Kate look a picture of blissful happiness along with their children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and eight-year-old Prince Louis.

The never-seen-before image was taken by photographer Matt Porteous in Cornwall and shows them relaxing barefoot during the Easter break.

Louis has his legs resting on Kate as the family of five – all in shorts apart from Kate – lie shoulder to shoulder in a row, with their black cocker spaniel Orla making an appearance next to William.

Also pictured is the Waleses’ second dog, a brown spaniel, which the couple kept from a litter of Orla’s puppies last year.

The post on Kensington Palace’s social media read: “Celebrating 15 years of marriage” followed by a red heart emoji.

The happy family moment comes after they face challenging times when Kate was diagnosed with cancer in 2024.

She revealed last year she was in remission. Earlier this year Kate described how a cancer journey has “moments of fear and exhaustion” but also “moments of strength, kindness and profound connection”.

The couple, met at St Andrews university, where they were both students.

It’s rumoured that Kate first caught William’s eye when she modelled at a charity show runway in March 2002, and they began dating soon afterwards.

They wed in a grand fairytale ceremony in Westminster Abbey on April 29 2011, and kissed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace afterwards to the delight of the crowds.

The bride wore an intricate ivory Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown with lace applique floral detail, while the groom was dressed in the red tunic of the Irish Guards.

William and Kate welcomed their first child George in 2013, followed by Charlotte in 2015 and Louis in 2018.
