PRINCE William’s public decoration of ‘love’ for Princess of Wales on social media on her birthday is pure #couplegoals, as they say online.
Anyone who persists in the myth the Royal Family are stuffy and unable to show emotion needs to take a rain check today.
Prince William is not only seen as a popular and modern face of the royals in the 21st century but now showing he is relaxed about confident about telling everyone exactly how he really feels about Kate.
Sure we all watched as he declared his love and devotion for Kate in Westminster Abbey back in 2011 – but that was their wedding!
His genuine heartfelt birthday message to millions on social media today hailing his ‘incredible’ wife while also celebrating her ‘strength’ as ‘remarkable’ during a year where she has faced cancer is a welcome public gesture in hard times.
Writing also of George, Charlotte and Louis, declares on social media ‘We love you’. Have we ever seen this kind of display attention from a royal before? No chance.
It is #couplegoals, as they say on social media.
This openness is a direction the couple have been moving for many years. It comes as no surprise as those of us who have witnessed the couple together in recent years can testify.
There is often a shared smile, a nod, a gentle arm around the waist, or even a holding of hands.
But this birthday message is also a clear sign, coming after he admitted that 2024 had been one of the hardest of his life, that William is happy to tell the world how he feels when the time is right.
This personally written message signed ‘W’ is a welcome change from a palace office worker posting agreeable birthday message with some archive photos which we normally see on each occasion.
It’s January, it’s dark and cold outside, we are all skint and overweight after festive indulgence, so let’s enjoy and revel in a little slice of love and happiness.
But it’s Kate’s big day and there will be so more messages from around the world wishing the princess many happy returns as she turns 43-years-old – including everyone here at The Sun.
And while over the last 12 months there has been a lot of nonsense posted on social media about the Princess of Wales – this year let’s try and only remember this special one.
