The Prince and Princess of Wales marked a special milestone on Wednesday as 29 April marked their 15th wedding anniversary. To mark the occasion, the royal couple featured in a new photograph alongside their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, eight, which was taken during a recent holiday to Cornwall.
In the photo, the princess wore the ultimate off-duty look featuring an unexpected pair of white jeans. Her casual denim was scrunched at the knee, exposing her ankles, and she chose not to wear shoes. Kate styled the jeans with a striped short-sleeve light knit and wore her hair down.
It was an unexpected look for the royal who usually wears smart trousers, skirts, or dresses for public engagements. That said, in the years before she wed Prince William, Kate's white jeans were a staple of her daytime wardrobe, and she was spotted wearing them to a charity polo match at the Beaufort Polo Club in 2006.

Way back in 2015, the then-Duchess of Cambridge was seen with her children at the Gigaset Charity Polo Match at the Beaufort Polo Club. She looked more understatedly dressed than we've ever seen her, opting for a striped T-shirt, Sebago Bala boat shoes, and jeans with a rolled cuff.
