威廉王子訂婚照曝光 與未婚妻深情相擁

Prince William and Kate Middleton have released official photographs to mark their engagement, taken by celebrated fashion photographer Mario Testino.

Testino described the couple as "brimming with happiness" during the photo shoot at St James's Palace.

The two portraits, one formal and one more casual, show the couple smiling and embracing after the announcement of their engagement last month.

Testino, who created some of the most enduring images of Diana, Princess of Wales, said: "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."

The Prince and Miss Middleton, both 28, selected the two photographs from a set. In the formal image, taken in the Palace's Council Chamber, the couple stand together with Miss Middleton resting her arm on her fiance's. The informal image, above, shows the couple embracing in the Palace's Cornwall room.

Testino took photographs for Prince William's 21st birthday in 2004. A Clarence House spokesman said: "Prince William has worked with Mario Testino on many occasions before, and so the couple decided that he was the right choice for such an important portrait."

英國威廉王子和準王妃凱特•米德爾頓日前公佈了由著名時尚攝影師馬里奧•泰斯蒂諾拍攝的官方訂婚照。

泰斯蒂諾稱這對情侶在在聖詹姆斯宮拍攝時“幸福滿滿”。

其中一張訂婚照非常正式，而另一張則很隨意。照片上，情侶二人微笑着深情相擁。威廉王子和女友凱特於上月宣佈訂婚。

泰斯蒂諾說：“我很高興能受邀用鏡頭記錄下這一全世界都熱切期待的歷史性時刻。”他曾爲威爾士王妃戴安娜拍攝過一些最經典的傳世之照。

他說：“他們風華正茂，而且洋溢着幸福。當我看到他們在一起時，我感到從未如此開心。”

同爲28歲的威廉王子和米德爾頓小姐從一組照片中選擇了這兩張作爲訂婚照。其中的一張正式照是在聖詹姆斯宮的會議廳拍攝的，兩人並肩站在一起，米德爾頓小姐的手臂搭在威廉王子的臂上。而在上圖的非正式照片中，兩人在聖詹姆斯宮康沃爾廳深情相擁。

2004年，泰斯蒂諾曾爲威廉王子拍攝21歲生日照。克拉倫斯王府（譯者注：查爾斯王儲官方居所）的一位發言人說：“馬里奧•泰斯蒂諾曾多次爲威廉王子拍照，因此威廉王子和凱特確信他是拍攝訂婚照的最合適人選。”
