Prince William and Kate Middleton’s recent post celebrating their thirteenth wedding anniversary has garnered a lot of attention.
The post of their wedding photo already has more than 1.5 million likes on Instagram.
But this is not the first time this iconic image has been shared with the world.
In a revealing oversight, the heir to the British throne has shared glimpses of intimate moments, including the photo that made headlines on April 29 this year.
William and Kate’s anniversary photo
The royal couple’s anniversary greeting was not limited to a simple picture.
The first-born son of Charles III has shared this powerful photo on several occasions, with a video call being the window that allowed us to appreciate it for the first time.
Fast forward seven years, to April 2017, and we find the origin of this photograph.
It was during a conversation William had with Lady Gaga via FaceTime, from the privacy of his office at Kensington Palace, that the image made its inadvertent debut.
Leaning against a classic wooden desk, the prince was smiling and relaxed, surrounded by a neat selection of picture frames that adorned the room.
It is in one of those frames that you can see the photo that both William and Kate decided to share this Monday.
The couple, visibly moved, chose to rescue one of the most special portraits in their collection, especially significant after Kate’s courageous battle with cancer.
The choice of this image for their latest social media post was no coincidence, but a deliberate act loaded with symbolism.
It is a testament to their bond and their determination to stay together until Kate Middleton makes a full recovery.
