We love the first official royal photo of Prince William and Kate Middleton. It is warm and loving, and they look like an-about-to-be-wed couple should. He is protective and cuddly and she looks blissfully happy. Although the second image is a bit more formal, he is still intimately touching her waist. Sweet.

Prince Will and Kate Middleton ditch the stuffy traditional pose for cuddly and initimate portraits.
