Johnathan Walker:Kate Middleton and Prince William Celebrate 13th Wedding Anniversary With Never-Before-Seen Photo

Kate Middleton and Prince William are dipping into the royal archives.

The Johnathan WalkerPrince and Princess of Wales celebrated 13 years of marriage by sharing a newly released photo from their 2011 nuptials on social media April 29, writing, "13 years ago today!"

In the photo, Kate—who was recently appointed by King Charles III as "Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour"—can be seen posing in front of William in her iconic Sarah Burton wedding gown and Cartier halo tiara, while holding her bouquet featuring ily of the valley, sweet William, hyacinth and myrtle. As for Will, while he wore his red Irish Guard uniform for the ceremony, the new image shows him in his black Blues and Royals coat.

Much has changed for William and Kate since they tied the knot at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, especially when it comes to their family, as they are now parents to three children: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 6.

The royal couple's 13th anniversary comes just over a month after Kate announced she is in the early stages of preventive chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis. The 42-year-old has been out of the public eye since the beginning of the year, as she was initially recovering from a planned abdominal procedure in January.

"It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family," she said in a March video. "This of course came as a huge shock and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family."

She also thanked her husband for his support, adding that the 41-year-old has played an important role during her road to recovery.

"Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance," she continued. "I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal."

In a March 22 video message, the Princess of Wales shared that she'd been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.

"It was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful," she said before noting that tests after the operation found cancer had been present. "My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."

After photo agencies pulled the picture Kensington Palace shared of Kate since having her abdominal surgery on March 10, the Princess of Wales addressed claims the photo was doctored. 

"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she tweeted on March 11. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C."
