The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have commemorated their silver wedding anniversary with a newly released portrait.
Prince Edward and wife Sophie are seen in a relaxed shot, taken in the gardens of their Bagshot Park home in Surrey in the new snap.
Edward married Sophie Rhys-Jones in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, on June 19, 1999, in a continental-style evening service where guests were told not to wear hats.
Queen Elizabeth II’s youngest son said ahead of the nuptials: ‘We manage to have a good laugh about things most of the time, and we happen to love each other, which is the most important thing of all.’
Romance blossomed when Edward and public relations professional Sophie met at a real tennis event in the early 1990s.
They now have two children, Lady Louise Windsor, 20, and 16-year-old James – the Earl of Wessex.
