The image was taken by British photographer Matt Porteous, and it shows William and Kate riding bikes in the countryside and holding each other in casual outfits.
Prince William sported a navy blue button-down shirt by American designer Ralph Lauren with a pair of denim trousers and black Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses. In the same casual tone, Kate went for dark skinny jeans and a white shirt. She accessorized the look with a tanned leather crossbody bag and a pair of sunglasses on her head. The Princess kept the jewelry simple, wearing only her diamond-and-sapphire engagement.
Although their footwear is not fully visible in the shot, it seems like the princess stayed true to the athletic tone of the photo shoot and went with a pair of classic white sneakers.
