Princess Kate and Prince William’s newly released photo was spotted years ago in a video call with Lady Gaga.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’s previously unseen wedding portrait shared to mark their 13th anniversary was spotted before by royal watchers in a call with Lady Gaga.
On April 29, the Prince and Princess of Wales released a never-before-seen, black and white portrait taken on their royal wedding day in 2011.
The image taken by photographer Millie Pilkington showed the newlyweds posing close, with Princess Kate in her white lace wedding gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and Prince William in the black uniform of the Blues and Royals.

The couple captioned the post on social media: “13 years ago today!”
While the image was new to most fans, the Prince of Wales, 41, had it displayed on his desk years ago.
A small section of the portrait was spotted in a frame on Prince William’s desk during a video call with Lady Gaga in April 2017 for the Heads Together campaign.
When the camera panned to Prince William during the conversation, the photo could be spotted behind his laptop.

The collection of framed photos also included a snap of a dog, a 2013 photo by Michael Middleton of Prince William and Kate with Prince George, now 10, as a baby and what appeared to be a playful picture of Prince Harry posing in glasses.
Mental health is a key focus of The Royal Foundation, the charity for the Prince and Princess of Wales’s nonprofit work.
The couple launched the Heads Together initiative with Prince Harry in 2016 to end stigmas around help for mental health.
The singer-songwriter praised the “beautiful stories” of Heads Together’s short films highlighting people from all walks of life talking about their mental health challenges.

Prince William also told Lady Gaga that her open letter published through her Born This Way Foundation about her PTSD diagnosis was “incredibly moving and very brave”.
He added: “It’s time that everyone speaks up and really feels very normal about mental health, it’s the same as physical health.
“Everybody has mental health and we shouldn’t be ashamed of it and just having a conversation with a friend or family member can really make such a difference.”
