Kate Middleton and Prince William posted a special reel to mark the end of 2023


Kate Middleton and Prince William have shared an adorable new snap of the Wales children in a poignant reel celebrating their best moments in 2023 on Instagram.
With a backing track of Harry Styles' hit tune As It Was, the reel is comprised of both personal and professional highlights for the couple and the rest of the Wales family, with a simple caption that reads: '2023 [tick emoji] Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our year.'
The images and videos featured include Kate at Wimbledon, as well as William pulling a pint and stills from the King's Coronation, as well as the family's Christmas image.
As part of the montage, the Prince and Princess of Wales treated us to a new image of Princes George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte from Father’s Day, where the family had a special photoshoot to mark the occasion.
