The Prince and Princess of Wales are celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary with a heartwarming new family photograph. The image, released on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, shows the couple alongside their three children — Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and eight-year-old Prince Louis — as well as their two cocker spaniels.
A Casual Family Moment
The candid shot captures the family of five lying on the grass in coordinated neutral outfits of greens, blues, and creams. Catherine, Princess of Wales, has one arm draped over George's leg while holding hands with Louis. Charlotte and her younger brother appear to be sharing a private joke as their mother looks on. Meanwhile, William and George seem engaged in conversation, with the heir to the throne resting one hand on their black cocker spaniel, Orla, while a brown cocker spaniel puppy — whose name has not yet been publicly revealed — lies near William's head.
“Celebrating 15 years of marriage,” read the caption shared on the couple's official social media pages, accompanied by a red heart emoji.
A Portrait Featuring the Dogs
This is the first family portrait to include both dogs. Orla has been part of the family since 2020, arriving shortly after the death of William and Kate's first dog, Lupo. According to reports, the sweet cocker spaniel welcomed puppies in May 2025. The couple also celebrated Prince Louis's eighth birthday just last week, releasing a new portrait and a video showcasing his love for the outdoors.
How Their Relationship Began
Prince William and Kate Middleton married on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey after dating for eight years. They first met in 2001 while both attended the University of St Andrews, but did not begin their relationship until 2003. William proposed in October 2010 during a trip to Kenya, using the same engagement ring that his father, King Charles III, had given to the late Princess Diana.
