Valentine's Day is almost here - the most loving day of the whole entire calendar year. There's no escaping 14 February - all our favourite shops turn into a total love fest. And we've come a long way since flowers and chocolates! Some of our best-loved stores produce the sweetest presents for him and her, so there's no excuse to not treat the one you love on the big day. Here at HELLO! we are all about the royals and we've been inspired by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - as well as Prince William and Kate. What would they buy each other for V-day we wonder? Because if it is good enough for our favourite family, it's good enough for us!
The travel planner with royal approval
Back when the Duchess of Sussex had a lifestyle blog called The Tig - she often listed some of her favourite travel accessories online. The STOW First Class Tech Case was something she couldn't live without, and we can totally see why. The royal had her initials hallmarked on the orange version of the case - which is ideal for jetsetters who want to hold their passport, USB cables and tickets. Now available in a rich red with pink lining - it's perfect V day fodder!

A brilliant bow-tie holder
Prince William has a penchant for funky ties and loves to mix it up with a bow-tie or two on the red carpet. But where does he store them all? John Lewis has an ingenious gadget - a tie rack that can hang on the back of his wardrobe. And the compact item would be great to pack on the next royal tour!

The heart bag that Meghan will go crazy for
Meghan sent luxury brand Strathberry into overdrive when she first carried its burgundy tote bag in 2017. Since then, she has worn three other bags by the brand - and because the royals do not accept gifts from companies, it is clear she purchased the trio of Scottish bags herself. We bet the royal will love the Stylist Mini as it has had a V-day makeover - check out the bow and arrow clasp! So cute...

Cosy bathrobes
Former Suits star Meghan is close friends with Soho House consultant Markus Anderson, and is said to have enjoyed dates with Prince Harry at the private members’ club at the start of their relationship. Meghan, 38, also reportedly had her hen party at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, so we just know she would love this super soft House robe that the brand has hanging up in every bedroom.

Regal Bling
Duchess Kate loves her jewellery and her go-to jewellery brand is Soru. She first wore a pair of their earrings back in 2016, and wore the same pair in January 2020 at Buckingham Palace. The baroque, double-sided statement gems were a firm favourite of the mother-of-three and we have a feeling should would adore these new, love-heart shaped earrings by the luxury brand. As part of the Fashion Bug Blog's collection, they are made with pearl and ruby red stones and we think you'll agree, they are just stunning….

Queen Elizabeth loves Elizabeth Arden
Her Majesty the Queen loves Elizabeth Arden lipstick - so we have a hunch she would enjoy these Advanced Ceramide Daily Youth Restoring Serum capsules too. They minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles and support the skin’s natural collagen for a firmer look and best of all, come complete in this fabulous red tin.

The fragrance with a regal seal of approval
Atkinsons perfume has some serious royal connections. Established in London by James Atkinsons in 1799, the fragrance house has a royal warrant with King George IV being the first royal to catch a whiff of it in 1826. So a great gift for any regal fan has to be an updated scent - and what better than the all new Rose Rhapsody! This blooming lovely fragrance has top notes of fresh mandarin and bergamot with floral touches of Turkish Rose, jasmine, and patchouli.

The beauty treatment fit for a royal
The royals have amazing skin. How do we know? Because they look so picture-perfect in their close-ups of course! We think - being in London and all, they could pop along to Harrods and visit their Beauty Hall on floor five, and have a treatment at Spa de la Mer - the brand's first-ever full-service spa in the UK. There's a wide range of facials to choose from, which are not only top-notch, but incredibly relaxing, too.
