The official portraits were taken of Prince William and his bride-to-be Kate Middleton on November 25th in St. James' Palace in London.

Testino himself, who took photos of Princess Diana before her death, says the following: "I am very happy to have been asked to cover this historic moment that the whole world was waiting for. They are in their prime and brimming with happiness. I have never felt so much joy as when I see them together."

They certainly do look very much in love, don't they?

Kate - who will be known as "Catherine" from now on - flashes her oval blue sapphire/diamond ring in the pic, which once belonged to Princess Di.
