The Prince and Princess of Wales have proved they’re one step ahead of their royal peers when it comes to social media, posting a September look-back story on their official platforms this morning.
Introducing highlights of a very busy last month, the couple’s social media team put together an impressive montage of clips – including marking the anniversary of the Queen’s death on September 8th, a trip to New York for Prince William and a podcast appearance with Mike Tindall for both.
On Instagram, the official @princeandprincessofwales account tee’d up the story with a ‘Welcome to the September Rewind with The Prince and Princess of Wales’, with Twitter fans getting a similar version.
Kate and William’s social media presence has become increasingly impressive in recent months, with the couple clearly keen to find creative ways to highlight the many royal engagements they undertook in September.

There was a story dedicated to the Prince and Princess marking the first anniversary of the Queen’s death in Wales.
The couple had used social media to mark the day at the time, writing: ‘Today we remember the extraordinary life and legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. We all miss you. W & C.’
And today’s story showed the couple attending a service at St David’s Cathedral in Pembrokeshire on September 8th.
The couple had travelled by helicopter for the short service, which saw Kate poignantly place a floral tribute of white roses in front of a framed photograph of the Queen.

Just a few days’ later, the couple headed to the Rugby World Cup in France.

Meanwhile a photo of Kate Middleton sees her shaking hands with the England team, following their impressive win against Argentina.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also appeared on Mike Tindall’s @Goodbadrugby podcast, opening up about the reputation they have for being competitive with each other.
The montage also highlighted the royals’ focus on mental health – including a visit to a charity helping farmers in Herefordshire and a Bournemouth initiative that focuses on helping end homelessness
William, alongside an animated Kate and Princess Anne, joined former England rugby ace Mike Tindall, 44, who is married to Zara, the Princess Royal’s daughter, on his show The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.

And there was also mention in the montage of Prince of Wales’ trip to New York to announce 15 finalists for the Earthshot Prize.
The Prince of Wales began his two-day US visit in dramatic style, crossing the Hudson River with the Manhattan skyline in the background.
William arrived from the UK on a commercial flight and travelled straight to Governors Island to meet students, volunteers and restaurateurs involved in the Billion Oyster Project, a unique initiative to restore oyster beds in New York harbour.
He stood in the bow of the boat with Pete Malinowski, co-founder and executive director of the Billion Oyster Project, as it travelled to the outcrop at the centre of the operation.
Manhattan’s skyline was clearly visible despite the persistent rain which had ended a mini September heatwave in the Big Apple, with the top floors of the highest skyscrapers shrouded in mist.
During his visit William will promote his Earthshot Prize which aims to celebrate and scale up solutions to ‘repair’ the planet, and announce the 2023 finalists.
