The Prince of Wales was photographed kissing Princess Catherine on the cheek in a heartfelt Instagram post shared on Friday (February 14).

The couple, who tied the knot in 2011, kept the caption simple, sharing just a red heart emoji alongside the sweet snapshot.

Check out the snap below:

The heartwarming photo captures William, 42, and Catherine, 43, sitting side by side on a brown picnic blanket in the woods.

Dressed casually, the future king sports a gray polo, black shorts, and blue tennis shoes, as he leans in to kiss his wife on the cheek. Meanwhile, a beaming Catherine looks effortlessly elegant in a blue dress and white sneakers.

Fans flooded the comment section with love for the royal couple. "Happy Valentine’s Day to my favorite royal couple!!" one fan said, while another said: "Happy Valentine’s Day to two people I love and admire!"

A third penned: "Such a beautiful picture! One of my all-time favorites of you two," while a fourth added: "What a beautiful, natural image. Absolutely magical and thank you so much for sharing this with us. Happy Valentines to you both."

Eagle-eyed fans may recognize the sweet picture as it was first included in a September 2024 video celebrating the princess' completion of chemotherapy.

The footage, captured by filmmaker Will Warr, was shot the previous month in Norfolk, where the couple has their country home, Anmer Hall.

In the emotional post, the 43-year-old princess, who was diagnosed with cancer in March 2024, reflected on her challenging health journey.

"The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown," she wrote.

"The cancer journey is complex, scary, and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you," she continued. "With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.

"This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved," Catherine added.

Since confirming that she is in remission, the Princess of Wales has made a graceful return to royal engagements.

Most recently, she was spotted joining kindergarten students on a school bus for an art gallery field trip.
