Prince William and Princess Kate take royal traditions seriously, but they’ve also been known to put their touch on things. The pair recently debuted a new portrait on social media that’s steeped in tradition. William wore a white tie and black tailcoat adorned with his military medals. The princess chose a striking red gown and her beautiful tiara. The pair decided to have their portrait taken outside rather than in a more formal indoor setting. It was a small but important detail that helped distinguish the pair as modern royals.
