Two new photographs of Britain’s Prince William and Kate have been released to mark the couple’s decade of marriage.

The images, published today (April 28) on Kensington Palace’s Twitter account ahead of the couple’s 10-year anniversary on Thursday, were taken at the London palace this week by Chris Floyd.

In the first image, the couple are seen sitting next to each other, with the prince gazing at Kate while she looks off into the distance.

The second image shows the couple embracing on the palace grounds.

Kate, who is also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, is seen wearing a floral blue wrap dress and her famous engagement ring, which was the same ring Prince Charles gave William’s late mother, Diana, when the couple announced their engagement in 1981.

Prince William, who is also known as the Duke of Cambridge, is wearing a blue shirt, a blue sweater and dark blue trousers.

The pair married at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.

They have since had three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
