How lovely is this shot of Kate and Wills taking a romantic stroll through the dusty paths of Ayers Rock in Australia?

The couple looked totally relaxed and content in each other's company on the royal visit and it looked like they just couldn't help but gaze at one another! Almost three years since the couple tied the knot, and they're still ruddy smitten. Lovely to see.

The royal couple look totally bowled over in love during their recent official tour of New Zealand. Kate, 32, and hubby Wills, 31, were taking part in an impromptu game of cricket during a visit to Christchurch to publicise the Cricket World Cup planned for 2015.

Now we're not saying we're the sportiest bunch, and it's been a while (we're talking school days here... ) since we played any kind of field sports, but we're pretty sure you're not meant to play cricket in an outfit that smart Kate!

We'll never get tired of looking at these two love birds! We love this natural shot of Kate sharing a laugh with hubby Wills during their trip to Christchurch for a cricketing event.

We wonder if they were laughing about Wills narrowly missing wife Kate's head with his bowling attempts when it was their turn to have a go at the sport - he's lucky he didn't get in trouble when he got home!

At the London 2012 Olympics, Kate and William were so excited about Team GB winning a gold medal in the track cycling that they hugged in the stands and forgot that the world's eyes were on them.

It was nice seeing the pair look natural and like every other couple in love.

The couple stayed at the Crown Inn pub in Westleton, Suffolk and slept in a £165-a-night room, which has a bath tub big enough for two!

On 29th April 2011, Kate and William tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in front of thousands of guests and millions of viewers worldwide.

Prince William and Kate looked as close as ever at a polo match at Ascot in 2009. The pair walked arm in arm.

Kate and Wills went to Cheltenham Racecourse for the Cheltenham Festival, just a month before they briefly split.

A few years later in an interview, Kate said that the break-up made them stronger. She said: 'I, at the time, wasn't very happy about it but actually it made me a stronger person, you find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn't realised.

'You can get quite consumed by a relationship when you are younger.'

The pair snuggled up while at the Dorchester Trophy Polo Match in

Gloucester in 2006. It seems like they didn't want to be seen, as even the

photographer couldn't get a clear shot of them together.

As she's always done, Kate gave Wills some moral support (and a kiss) at the Eton College Old Boys Field Game.

She must be his good luck charm as we don't think we've seen him play sports without Kate watching on!

Kate and William: June 2005

Kate and William met at St Andrews University in 2001 and they were friends before they started dating.
