William, Prince Of Wales shares family portrait for 15th anniversary
William, Prince Of Wales and Catherine shared a new family portrait on social media to mark 15 years of marriage. The photo shows William and Catherine lying in the grass and smiling, with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and the couple's dog in the frame.
Cornwall portrait
The image was taken by photographer Matt Porteous in Cornwall and shared with a heart emoji and the caption "Celebrating 15 years of marriage". The public post gave a rare look at the family together, at a moment when the anniversary itself is the point rather than any formal royal appearance.
William and Catherine married at Westminster Abbey in London in 2011, in a televised ceremony that drew an estimated audience of billions from across the world. They met at the University of St Andrews, then spent their first three years of married life in Anglesey while William trained as an RAF search and rescue pilot.
Anglesey and the children
The anniversary image also brings together the couple's three children in one frame: Prince George, born in 2013, Princess Charlotte, born two years later, and Prince Louis, born in 2018. That makes the portrait more than a ceremonial nod to the date; it is also one of the few recent public family updates that places the children alongside their parents.
The family picture arrived as William also spoke to trainees at the station on Tuesday, saying, "I loved my time up here. It was great fun… I do miss it. I miss the job, I miss the camaraderie," and "Your time up here will go quickly, that's the thing. You'll look back with fond memories,". The anniversary post and the station remarks point to the same theme: a couple with a long public life behind them, and children now old enough to appear beside them in a single shared image.
Westminster Abbey wedding
The next public benchmark in the story is not a speech or a ceremony, but the family image itself. For readers following the Waleses, the portrait is the clearest update in the record here: a marriage that began at Westminster Abbey in 2011, now marked by a social media post that places William, Catherine and their three children in the same frame.
