The couple, who tied the knot in a globally televised ceremony at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, chose to forgo formal royal portraiture for this milestone, opting instead for a relaxed shot taken on the lawn of their private country home, Anmer Hall in Norfolk, by long-time royal photographer Matt Porteous. In the photo, Princess Catherine wears a flowy white floral midi dress, while Prince William dons casual khaki trousers and a navy button-down, with their three children—Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—gathered between them, all grinning widely at the camera. The couple accompanied the photo with a short, heartfelt caption that read “15 years ❤️” alongside a note thanking the public for the kindness and support they have received both over the course of their marriage and in the months since Catherine announced her diagnosis of cancer and ongoing preventive chemotherapy treatment in March 2024. This marks the first official full-family portrait of the Waleses released since Catherine shared her health update, a moment that has drawn immense relief and joy from royal supporters who have been sending well wishes to the princess for months. Over the past 15 years, William and Catherine have transitioned from newlyweds to senior working members of the British royal family, taking on hundreds of official engagements each year across the U.K. and Commonwealth, advocating for causes including mental health awareness, early childhood development, and environmental conservation. Throughout their time in the public eye, they have consistently prioritized protecting their children’s privacy, aiming to give them as normal an upbringing as possible away from constant media attention, a value that is clearly reflected in the casual, intimate tone of this anniversary portrait. Royal communications staff confirmed that the couple did not plan any large public celebrations for their 15th (crystal) wedding anniversary, choosing instead to mark the occasion privately with their children and close family, and sharing the photo as a small token of gratitude to the millions of people who have stood by them over the years.
