Prince William is 'most romantic royal' who can't wait to 'spoil Kate on Valentine's Day'

June 20, 2024

A former butler for the royal family has lifted the lid on Prince William’s romantic side when it comes to Valentine’s Day and charming wife Kate Middleton.

Grant Harrold, who used to work for The Firm, says the Prince of Wales was always a “true gentleman” when it came to wining and dining Kate Middleton. He says Prince William is likely to treat his wife even more this year because of her recent routine surgery in hospital. The ex-staffer also remembers King Charles had a soft side, saying he would take Camilla – and Princess Diana when she was alive – to dinner on February 14.

Prince William is the ‘most romantic’ member of the royals – especially with Kate Middleton

Valentine’s Day seems to explode into stores around the world towards the end of January, or even sooner in some cases. Although not all follow the tradition, it has cemented itself into mainstream culture for anyone who does want to show gratitude to their special someone each February.

Now, a former butler has said Prince William will enjoy the upcoming Valentine’s Day because he’s the ‘most romantic’ of the members of the royal family. He says he’ll likely shower Kate with “flowers, chocolates and special gifts” next week.

He remembers Prince Harry‘s brother being a “true gentleman” with the Princess of Wales, and recalled one particular meal he planned.

Grant told Slingo: “His attention to detail is always spot on and what he does to make Kate feel important and appreciated. He’s the most romantic royal.

“I remember doing one of my first dinners for the two of them, and it was around Valentine’s Day. He was involved in all the planning, he had thought everything out. He thought about how the table was going to look, every detail. He is a romantic, but he enjoys it too.

“He’s very sweet and cares about what she thinks. He is the happiest when he is with Kate. This is why I’ve always known Kate and William to be the most perfect match. They just fit. But William has been a gentleman since he was a young lad. They celebrate Valentine’s Day.

“There will be flowers involved, chocolates, and special gifts. They are romantics deep down, which I think surprises people.”

Royals are ‘showing their feelings more’

Grant says the royals are better at showing emotion in public now.

He added: “It’s interesting because the Royals never used to show emotion to one another, especially in public. But now they do, and they talk about each other affectionately. It’s refreshing to see.

“If they were at an event on Valentine’s Day itself, we might see them being more affectionate than normal because they express themselves a lot more than they used to.

“They didn’t dare express themselves 20 years ago. It wasn’t acceptable.”

The former butler then divulged the King, when he was prince, asked him to get a film for Charles and Camilla to watch together. He chose the classic Marilyn Monroe flick Some Like It Hot.
