Royal couple's first official outing

Prince William and fiancee Kate Middleton wave to the crowd as they visit Trearddur Bay Lifeboat Station for a naming ceremony and service dedication for the Royal National Lifeboat Instution's (RNLI) new Atlantic 85 Lifeboat, "Hereford Endeavour," on the island of Anglesey, Wales, Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011.

The visit had been highly anticipated because the couple have kept such a low profile since announcing their engagement in November, making only one other prior appearance at a charity event. They plan to marry April 29 at Westminster Abbey with just under 2,000 guests attending.
