Prince William, Kate Middleton share sweet kiss in rare PDA pic for Valentine’s Day

Prince William and Kate Middleton marked Valentine’s Day by sharing a rare PDA-packed photo of them kissing in what’s believed to be a first for the royal couple.

In the adorable snap shared on Instagram, the Prince and Princess of Wales are seen sitting by one another as the future king leaned over to give his leading lady a kiss.

The duo sat on a brown picnic blanket in the woods, with Middleton, 43, rocking a light-wash denim dress and a pair of white sneakers.

Meanwhile, William, 42, rocked a gray polo, black shorts and blue tennis shoes.

The pair kept the caption short and sweet, uploading the snap on Friday with a simple red heart emoji.

Royal fans will recall seeing the photo in the duo’s September 2024 video shared in celebration of Middleton’s completion of chemotherapy.

The footage, which also includes their three children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, was shot in August 2024 by Will Warr in Norfolk, near their Anmer Hall residence.

The pair, who have been married since April 2011, are gearing up to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary later this year.

The post is believed to be the couple’s first PDA picture shared by them on social media.

While the royal family has always followed protocol and refrained from sharing public displays of affection in the past, the pair have noticeably become more affectionate in their social media posts in recent months.

What’s more, that has translated into their in-person interactions during public engagements.

Last month, William penned a heartfelt caption in honor of Middleton’s 43rd birthday.

“To the most incredible wife and mother,” the future king wrote on X in a loving tribute to the beloved royal as he praised her strength after what’s been a difficult year for their family. “The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable.”

“George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W,” he concluded, alongside a black-and-white photo of the princess.

It comes as Kensington Palace was forced to issue a statement after the Sunday Times of London reported that Middleton has requested for details of her outfits to no longer be disclosed to the public.

In response to the claim, the palace clarified that there hasn’t been a change in the policy.
