It's been a solid decade since Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot in that lavish ceremony, and somehow we're still as obsessed as ever. From the perfectly coordinated outfits to their impactful campaigning work, they're the perfect fairytale x powerhouse combo, so naturally, when they give us rare glimpses into their relationship we're all for it. Well, good news then that the pair have just shared a very adorable and loved-up post on Instagram, complete with hand-holding and giant, happy grins.

Wishing their followers a happy new year, the couple posted the cute picture on Instagram just a few hours before the clocks struck midnight. The adorable moment, captured by photographer Alex Bramall, shows the Duke and Duchess dressed in their finest black tie in the car together, holding hands while beaming into the camera.

The sweet snap prompted a huge wave of responses from fans, wishing the couple a happy new year and praising them for their work during 2021. "Thank you for brightening our newsfeeds all year long and championing such wonderful causes. Cheers to 2022!," one fan wrote, and another wrote, "❤️❤️❤️❤️ You are so lovely and adorable!" while many fans commented on how happy the couple looked together.

It stands to reason that the post has racked up more than a million likes in just a few hours, I mean, they do look wildly adorable together. Happy New Year, you two!
