Royal Children React to Prince William, Kate Middleton Engagement Photos
Precious moments. Prince William and Kate Middleton’s engagement photos caught the eye of their kids. During a trip to Wales, the newly appointed Princess of Wales reacted to a picture of her and her husband from more than 12 years ago.
In a viral TikTok video that was posted on Twitter, Kate noticed the old picture from a fan showing it to her. “Oh my goodness that’s from our engagement! We always laugh about this. Although we’ve been married for 11 years, we’ve been together for double that so it’s extraordinary. And the children look back at the photos and say, ‘Mummy you look so young!'” William and Kate have three children together: George, 9, Charlotte, 7 and Louis, 4. The two became engaged in 2010 after being together on and off for 7 years.
