The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released a new video to mark their 10th wedding anniversary.

Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot on 29 April in 2011 at Westminster Abbey after eight years of dating.

In the newly released clip, the couple are filmed spending a day on the beach with their three children: Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, three.

The family of five appear happy and relaxed in the video, which offers a rare insight into their lives together.

In the clip, the children can be heard playing and shouting at one another while instrumental music plays in the background.

In one shot, William and Kate look lovingly at one another while they sit by the beach.

The family is wearing casual clothing in every shot. In the beach scenes, Prince William is filmed wearing a pair of jeans and a khaki jacket while Kate wears a crimson jumper over a high-neck frilly white shirt with a classic wax Barbour jacket over the top.

In another scene that sees the family running through a garden, William and Kate appear to be in the same outfits but without their jackets.

The video also features an appearance from the couple’s new puppy, a black cocker spaniel that was adopted and brought home before the death of their beloved older dog, Lupo, who passed away in November at the age of nine.

The film concludes with the family huddled together around a campfire roasting marshmallows.

Kensington Royal tweeted the video, captured by British filmmaker Will Warr, alongside the following caption: “Thank you to everyone for the kind messages on our wedding anniversary. We are enormously grateful for the 10 years of support we have received in our lives as a family. W & C.”

The video comes after Kate and William released a new set of photographs to mark their anniversary.

Taken by Chris Floyd outside Kensington Palace, the two new photographs capture the couple smiling with one another and embracing side-by-side.
