Kate Middleton isn’t getting her hopes up over this gift from Prince William on Valentine’s Day

Kate Middleton has revealed she's not getting her hopes up over receiving this gift from Prince William on Valentine's Day.

• Kate Middleton has revealed she's not expecting to get a bunch of red roses from husband Prince William on Valentine's Day.
• The Princess of Wales told market traders during her visit to Leeds.
• This royal news (opens in new tab) comes as Carole Middleton's birthday plans with George, Charlotte and Louis revealed (opens in new tab).

Valentine's Day (opens in new tab) is supposed to be one of the most romantic day's of the year but while some couples will be celebrating with Valentine's Day hampers (opens in new tab), or buying gifts for her (opens in new tab) or making cakes (opens in new tab) for couples, some might just send a romantic message (opens in new tab) to their loved one or some flowers - picked according to their star-sign (opens in new tab).

But Kate Middleton has revealed the one gift she's not getting her hopes up on receiving from her husband Prince William this year, and it's a bunch of red roses.

The Princess was visiting Leeds' Kirkgate Market when she made the confession after a flower stall holder suggested her husband be buying her a bunch.

Florist Neil Ashcroft said, "No doubt William will be buying you some red roses."

To which Kate replied, "I don’t think he will do.”

The florist even revealed he offered the Princess a discount in the hope he would make a sale, "I offered her a discount. I said I would give her a card and knock off the VAT,” he added, but nothing.

But it's not that Prince William isn't romantic at all, as previously Kate Middleton's favourite jewellery brand hinted on what the Prince might be buying Kate (opens in new tab) for Valentine's Day. And in 2020 he was reportedly planning something special (opens in new tab). 

And Kate's latest confession comes after it was reported that Prince William surprised her last year with "a huge box of 50 roses on Valentine’s Day (opens in new tab),” the source alleged, before going on to add, “He hand wrote the most romantic message in his card, praising her for being such a wonderful wife and mother.”

So perhaps he's thinking of another surprise this year that Kate won't be expecting to receive.

The couple, who celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary last year, met at St Andrew's University, which is where their love story (opens in new tab) started before getting married at Westminster Abbey (opens in new tab) in London.

The couple have three children, Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, aged four.
