The Prince and Princess of Wales have marked Valentine’s Day by sharing a portrait as Meghan posted a rare picture of Prince Harry with their daughter, Lilibet.

William and Kate posted the black and white photo of themselves sitting side-by-side in a field on social media platform X on Saturday with the simple message “Happy Valentine’s Day”.

Compared to the picture the royal couple shared on 14 February last year of Prince William kissing Kate on the cheek, this year’s outdoor scene appears wholesome and muted.

The snap was posted as the Royal Family grapples with the fallout of fresh allegations concerning Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ties to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Last year marked the first time the Prince and Princess of Wales had uploaded a photo commemorating Valentine’s Day.

The colour photo of the couple holding hands while sitting on a rug in a forest was a repurposed still taken from a video announcing that Kate had completed her cancer treatment.

The public affirmation of love came after Kate underwent abdominal surgery and chemotherapy to treat an undisclosed type of cancer.

Kate is now in remission after being diagnosed in 2024, the same year that the King had his own cancer diagnosis.

For Kate Middleton and Prince William, royal duties take a back seat to parenting their children, as shown by how William stepped back from his duties during the princess’ cancer treatments, according to a royal author.

“Behind the scenes, for William it was brutal,” Russell Myers, royal editor of The Mirror and author of “William & Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story” told the Manchester Evening News.

Myers said William felt like “the rug had been pulled from under him” after Middleton and his father, King Charles III, were both diagnosed with cancer early in 2024.

“He was having to manage all these emotions that, you know, what was he going to do to look after his wife first and foremost?” Myers said. “How would he be there for his father? But what duties was he going to have to take on? Was his public role going to change as well?”

However, Myers said, “over all of this was his deep concern for his three children.”

“And I think by seeing him step away from public duties, it tells you a lot about William and Catherine as people, because it’s always been family first for them,” he said, adding that “duty is important to them, but it has to come second in respect to their family, because if they get the family right then everything will follow.”

In an excerpt of his book out in March, Myers wrote that the Prince and Princess of Wales sat their children down to explain to them what was happening.

“‘When Catherine went in, he was fairly resolute,’ said a close aide,” the excerpt of the book read, referring to her two-week January 2024 hospitalization for what was described by the palace as a “planned abdominal surgery.” “‘They both very calmly told the children what was going on and how long Catherine would need to be away for, but explained other than that everything would continue as normal and when she came home, she would need to rest up for a bit.’”

Myers wrote that Middleton kept in touch with her family while at the hospital through video calls, “catching up on what George, Charlotte and Louis had been doing at school and asking if ‘Papa’ had been able to cook for them while she had been away.”

“At that time, it seemed to all be perfectly in hand, they were the calmness in the storm certainly,” he wrote. “But away from the children he was, of course, incredibly pensive. His father’s illness brought into focus just how quickly his life, and that of his family as well as the whole landscape of the institution, could change very quickly.”

In March, the princess was contacted by her medical team at the London Clinic where she had her abdominal surgery and told they had discovered cancer was present.

“The advice was an immediate course of preventative chemotherapy in order to give her the best chance of a full recovery,” Myers wrote. “Friends of Catherine say that although she was caught completely in shock, she remained composed. Her first thoughts were of her children and her husband.”

“The duty is important to them, but it has to come second in respect to their family because if they get the family right then everything will follow.”

Myers wrote that William later told friends he was in a “state of disbelief” when he heard about her diagnosis.

“First his father had been diagnosed with cancer, and a month later his wife was now facing a similar challenge,” he wrote. “Catherine called her parents and her siblings to tell them, then she and William resolved to gather the children and impart what they knew in the best and most positive way possible.”

After telling their children, Middleton decided she needed to make a public statement about her cancer, believing her “experience could benefit others in similar distressing circumstances.”

Middleton made her understated announcement while sitting on a bench surrounded by flowers on March 22, 2024.

“The message, recorded in complete secrecy by a BBC special events team, was broadcast on the 6pm national news and online,” Myers wrote. “Much like the announcement of the death of Elizabeth II, it felt like an earthquake whose reverberations were felt around the world. ‘The days beforehand were filled with shock, but at that moment, it was genuinely as if the world stood still,’ said a senior courtier.”

Despite a close friend describing William as feeling like he was “hit by a bus,” he did everything he could to keep life normal for their children: Prince George, 12; Princess Charlotte, 10; and Prince Louis, 7.

“The Prince of Wales took charge of the school drop-offs, while Catherine’s parents and siblings were regular visitors to the family home in Windsor,” he wrote. “Quiet evening dinners were enjoyed at home, playdates were organised to keep the children entertained and there were weekends away at the Middletons’ family home in Berkshire – all part of enveloping George, Charlotte and Louis with as much love and support as possible.”

A friend told Myers that the royal couple were also “both very conscious of protecting” their children “as much as possible. Catherine’s admiration for the way in which William took on all of that, keeping the children entertained and occupied, being constantly sanguine even when he had the weight of the world on his shoulders, allowing her to concentrate on her treatment and recovery, is something she will be eternally grateful for.”

The 44-year-old announced in September 2024 that she had finished her cancer treatments and in January of last year she announced she was in remission.

On Saturday, the couple marked Valentine’s Day by sharing a never-before-seen photo of the two of them.

“Happy Valentine’s Day!” William and Kate wrote on their Instagram page, revealing that the black and white snap was taken by photographer Josh Shinner, who also took their Christmas card photo.

A measles outbreak has spread across several schools in north London with some children needing hospital treatment.

More than 60 suspected cases of measles have been recorded across seven schools and a nursery in Enfield, The Sunday Times reports.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has reported 34 confirmed measles cases in Enfield between 1 January to 9 February.

A message posted on the NHS Ordnance Unity Centre For Health GP surgery said there was a “fast spreading measles outbreak in several schools across Enfield”.

“Infections have been confirmed across at least seven schools in Enfield and Haringey and it is spreading,” the GP surgery said.

“During this recent outbreak, one in five children have been hospitalised due to measles and all of them had not been fully immunised.

“Parents should ensure that their children are up-to-date with all their immunisations.”

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can spread very easily among people who are not fully vaccinated.

The virus causes cold-like symptoms, a rash and spots in the mouth.

While many people recover, the illness can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, brain inflammation and in rare cases, long-term disability or even death.

The UKHSA has warned modelling of a large scale measles outbreak in London could lead to between 40,000 to 160,000 infections.

The modelling released in a report titled “Risk assessment for measles resurgence in the UK”, estimated that hospitalisation rates would range from 20% to 40% depending on age.

Falling immunisation rates have stoked fears of a widespread outbreak of the virus, with the World Health Organisation warning that Britain had lost its measles elimination status last month.

Dudu Sher-Arami, Enfield’s director of public health, told The Sunday Times that London had “one of the lowest, if not the lowest, vaccination uptake rates” in the country, making the capital especially vulnerable to an outbreak.

Enfield Council said it was “working closely with the UKHSA, the NHS and local partners to respond to a confirmed outbreak of measles in the borough”.

Councillor Alev Cazimoglu, who is cabinet member for health and social care, said: “We are following national public health guidance to manage the situation, protecting residents and limiting further spread.”

While there is no treatment for measles, vaccination can prevent it.

Two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) injection can provide high levels of protection and help prevent further outbreaks.
