    Duchess Kate in Valentine's Day visit to Liverpool

    LONDON (AP) — The former Kate Middleton is spending her first Valentine's Day as a married woman nearly 8,000 miles (13,000 kilometers) away from her husband.

    The Duchess of Cambridge is carrying out a solo visit to the English port city of Liverpool to visit a charity devoted to helping recovering addicts. Her husband Prince William is currently deployed as a helicopter search-and-rescue pilot in the remote Falkland Islands.

    But just because Kate was short a prince doesn't mean she was short a valentine.

    Kate got a card and a bouquet of red roses from 8-year-old Jaqson Johnston-Lynch, whose mother works at the charity.

    Jaqson told reporters he would tell Kate: "Happy Valentine's Day, your Royal Highness. I'm sorry Prince William can't be here."

      I don't understand the comments thus far. I don't see where Kate is complaining about being separated from her husband for Valentine's Day. This is a fluff piece, people.

      As the wife of a military man who just retired after 25 years, I have spent plenty of valentines days, birthdays, christmases and other holidays away from my husband. Just par for the course. You make up for it another time :-)

      I don't hear Kate complaining, she is a trooper, learning the job and carrying on, good for her.

        You won't hear Kate saying anything at all, it's not as though the press get to interview them.

      She seems to have taken the role of miltary wife to heart. Good for her!

      Why should she complain or be anything but happy. SHE MARRIED A PRINC, SHE'S GOT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD GOING FOR HER, so she's not with him on V Day, big deal, what she gets from him all yr round, most of us don't see it in a lifetime. I feel nothing for her other that happy and proud of her. I'd like to see us here have such a gracious princess, Love you Kate !!

        True, she sat around for years doing nothing but waiting for a wedding ring.

      Why is this a top story? Let's hear a real story, like possible breakthroughs in medical science, for example. How can royalty benefit mankind? - resign!

        Well you never know, just because she's part of the royal family now doesn't mean she isn't still human.

      If she is unsure how to deal with being alone. She could speak to military families, who have less than her and their family members have been away for month, years, etc... Little pity here for Katie.
      • wtmommy 3 mths ago
        The Duchess did not ask for pity, you idiot, and she commiserates with many military families. It's hardly her fault her stupid government sided with our even more stupid government to perpetrate wars for profit.

        No one forced them to tag along.
