Prince William & Kate Share Rare Video of a Family Beach Day

Just yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released a set of sweet new photographs to mark their ten-year wedding anniversary on April 29. But the photographs weren't the only tribute to celebrate the Cambridge family of five. On Thursday, the palace released a video on social media that gives us a portrait of Kensington Palace with incredibly cute appearances by the whole gang–including children George, 7, Charlotte, 5 (turning six this Sunday), and Louis, who just turned three last week.

For the video’s caption, William and Kate wrote a warm note thanking the public for their messages of support. “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,” they said.

The clip opens with a wholesome trip to the beach on a blustery day, with William and Kate gazing at each other adoringly and playing around with the kids on the sand dunes. We then see the family goofing off in a field (Sandringham Estate’s new adventure playground, perhaps?), with Kate holding hands with George while William chases Charlotte and Louis. The video ends with the Cambridges sitting atop haystacks and roasting marshmallows over an open fire. Peaceful guitar plays over the clip, giving the whole video a gentle and loving vibe. How sweet!
