William and Catherine all smiles in Valentine's Day photograph

The couple shared a rare black-and-white photo symbolizing their bond after Kate’s cancer treatment, marking the second consecutive Valentine's Day post, Kensington Palace said.

  • On Saturday, the Prince and Princess of Wales released an unseen black-and-white portrait on Instagram with a Valentine's caption and heart emoji.
  • Earlier this year, the Princess of Wales revealed she was undergoing cancer treatment in March 2024 and announced she was cancer-free in September 2024, with the recent post following her reflections on 'moments of fear and exhaustion' during recovery.
  • From the April session in Anmer, Norfolk, photographer Josh Shinner captured the black-and-white image showing William kissing Catherine's cheek during their 2025 Christmas card session.
  • Royal commentators said the portrait humanizes the couple and underlines their bond during a challenging year, with Emily Nash explaining, `Traditionally, the royals have tended to avoid public displays of affection`.
  • Experts say William and Kate's partnership is central to the monarchy's future, while Kate’s patronage of Place2Be and plans for public engagements in the coming months highlight her focus on children's mental health.
