NEW YORK (CBS) Prince William and Kate Middleton released not one, but two official engagement photos over the weekend.

Both photos were shot on Nov. 25 in London, by renowned photographer Mario Testino. He's a royal family favorite who captured some of the most iconic images of William's late mother, Princess Diana.

I like both photos of them. I like the one that I can see their faces as I am legally blind. . I think both photos befitting them. Member too that they are persons with feelings. I wish them both happiness and their families. Thank you HRH for sharing the very nice photos with us. I live in Seattle.

I like both photos, but the formal is more befitting a future king and his bride.
