Last week we learned that Prince William of Wales and his fiancée Kate Middleton posed for famed photographer Mario Testino for the couple’s official engagement photograph. Today, we learn that the couple actually posed for 2 official photos and we get to see them both. First up, Wills and Kate lookin’ fairly formal in photo #1:

The upcoming nuptials of Prince William and his fiancee, Kate Middleton, became even more official Saturday, with the release of a pair of engagement photographs. The pictures, sent by Prince William’s press office and distributed by the Press Association, came out several months ahead of the April 29, 2011, wedding at London’s Westminster Abbey … Photographer Mario Testino took the engagement pictures, among others, on November 25 at St. James’ Palace in London. “They are in their prime and brimming with happiness,” Testino said. “I have never felt so much joy as when I see them together.”

Awww … they look lovely, don’t they? Next up, we get to check out the more informal, more affectionate photo #2 — after the jump …

This one is my fave of the two. They look so happy, so in love and so well-suited for one another. I was really hoping we’d get to see these official engagement photos sooner rather than later … but I wasn’t expecting to see them quite so soon. I am so excited for this Royal Wedding, I can’t even tell you!
