Kate Middleton and Prince William Share Romantic PDA Moment for Valentine's Day

Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrated Valentine's Day with a touching glimpse of their love, PEOPLE reported. On February 14, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a rare photo of themselves displaying affection on social media. The post featured a single red love heart emoji as its caption.

The heartwarming image initially surfaced in September 2024 during a video that revealed Kate’s completion of chemotherapy after her recent cancer diagnosis. In the photograph, the couple shares an intimate moment: William, 42, kisses Kate, 43, on the cheek while she laughs, showcasing their bond. The scene appears to be set in a picturesque wooded area, where they sit on a brown picnic blanket.

The three-minute video, filmed in August by Will Warr in Norfolk, details their lives at Anmer Hall with their three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. Their latest displays of affection stand in contrast to their typical, reserved public demeanor over the years. Royal etiquette expert Myka Meier explained to PEOPLE that, "There is no actual etiquette or royal protocol that says the couple must refrain from PDA." She speculated that their previous restraint stemmed from their duties as representatives of the British monarchy.

In January 2025, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony together, showcasing their unified public presence. Throughout the past challenging year, William provided unwavering support to Kate, strengthening their relationship. A royal insider revealed to PEOPLE, "The couple are more open now and talk about their relationship together."

The source also mentioned, "For the princess, family — her husband and children — are more important than anything else." After more than 20 years together, Kate and William married in April 2011. William proposed during a Kenya vacation after an eight-year relationship. The couple later announced their engagement to the world in November 2010.
