Errr… nope. Very wrong my friend.
He did put it back on in “Twilight’s kingdom”, during the Equestria Games, in “Sparkle’s Seven” and “The Beginning of the End”, but wore nothing in every other episode except for formal events like his own wedding and Twi’s coronation where he wore the mlp version of the British Household Cavalry dress tunic/ a copy of Prince William’s wedding outfit^^
Besides, we’ve never seen him wear a regular guard’s armor in the show which implies he’s still just a grunt and not an officer/captain in this image.

True but his armour in the show was a special design/color to signal his high rank. (also because he’s a main character and needs to stand out :p)
The regular soldier armour could hint at this being a picture from earlier in their relationship, when he was a regular soldier and got assigned to be her bodyguard or something. But in the absence of the artist saying anything, that’s all headcanon.
I’ll leave the tag, but I doubt this is a “husband and wife” image. Prince consort Shining Armor probably wouldn’t be walking around in guard armor.
It seems having alicorn magic running through a body that’s part earth pony gives you a good stat boost against environmental effects.

Fair enough.

He was always wearing armor in the show.

Well, Cadance is. Shining looks to be pussing out.
