Princess Catherine and Prince William have unveiled a previously unseen selection of their favorite photos from the year 2025.
The couple chose a photograph representing each month, capturing either one or both of them during significant moments throughout the year.
The collection showcases a diverse array of settings, from grand public events to private, personal occasions, highlighting the varied responsibilities and interests the couple pursue.
The series begins with a poignant image from January, where the couple attended a Holocaust Memorial Day service, a ceremony they described as a ‘great honor.’
In the photo, they are pictured holding candles, immersed in silent reflection during the service in London.
Observed annually on January 27, Holocaust Memorial Day commemorates the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. This year’s ceremony also marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, a former Nazi concentration camp.
The Royals were able to meet and reunite with survivors of the genocide.
February’s choice shows the Princess of Wales visiting a mother and baby unit at a prison in Cheshire.

February: The Princess of Wales visits an Action for Children Mother and Baby Unit inside HMP Styal
March: The Princess of Wales attends the Irish Guards St Patrick’s Day Parade
Kate made the trip to HMP Styal in her capacity as patron of Action for Children, and she highlighted the importance of consistent mother and baby relationships in a child’s development.
The photo shows Kate looking relaxed as she chats with three women in the gardens, with two prams between them.
From March, the couple selected a photo of Kate attending the St Patrick’s Day Parade of the Irish Guards.
It shows her surrounded by a group of Guardsmen inside Wellington Barracks in Westminster for the March 17 parade.
Dressed in the festive green, she also put drinks behind the bar for guardsmen and enjoyed a sip of Guinness during a toast.
Kate appears solo again in the April choice, this time dressed in tweed during the couple’s tour of the Inner Hebrides to mark their 14th wedding anniversary.
Their two-day trip took in the Isles of Mull and Iona, where the couple is known as the Lord and Lady of the Isles or as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay.
The Princess is pictured in a light-hearted moment, peering through a pair of makeshift cardboard binoculars.

August’s pick sees Princess Kate looking full of joy as she launches a series of animated films to help people who work with children.
She designed the films to help those workers seize the ‘golden opportunity’ to change the course of young lives.
The Princess was said to have been ‘closely involved’ in the creation process, and spent time with illustrators to help commit her vision to tape.
Next, from September, the couple are pictured together again as they approach President Trump’s helicopter to greet him.
Marine One landed in Windsor ahead of the US State Visit, where William and Kate welcomed the President and First Lady Melania.
William memorably broke the ice with a dash of humour, joking: ‘This is my father,’ as he gestured towards the King.
Prince William was snapped on further official stateman duties in October.
He was photographed attending an audience with the President of Estonia, Alar Karis, in a show of continued support for the country against its aggressive neighbour – Russia.

He impressed onlookers by ditching his socks and shoes and throwing himself into the game – even rolling around in the sand, as the photo shows.
William was in Rio ahead of the 2025 Earthshot Prize ceremony.
Finally, to round off the year, the Prince and Princess of Wales selected a photo of William enjoying a beer at The Welsh Guard Christmas party.
The prince is seen laughing along with a fellow Welsh Guardsman at a table strewn with various alcoholic and soft beverages.
He tucked into a full festive lunch while visiting the guards as part of his position as colonel of the regiment – a ceremonial role he has held since December 2022.
