Meghan Markle is suiting up to celebrate Valentine's Day away from her love.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared a rare photo with Prince Harry, 40, on her new Instagram page. The couple is spending the holiday apart as the Duke of Sussex is at the Invictus Games in Canada.

Markle returned home to California earlier in the week to be with their kids, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

The black-and-white image shows the couple kissing as they have a meal.

Markle captioned the pic, "Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families. Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created."

"My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever," she continued. "Thank you for you."

Markle ended the note with the hashtag #lovewins and a sign-off: "As ever, M."

The pair kept the caption short and sweet, uploading the snap on Friday with a simple red heart emoji.

Meghan Markle ‘upset and stressed’ after American Riviera Orchard backlash: author

By Nika Shakhnazarova

Meghan Markle has been left “upset and stressed” following backlash to her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, according to a royal author.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, first teased her passion project last March — but nearly a year later, the business venture has yet to get off the ground.

The lifestyle brand — which has been plagued with a slew of trademark snafus — will reportedly be launched next month to coincide with the release of Markle’s upcoming Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan.”

However, the lead-up to the launch has been nothing but stressful for the former actress, according to royal author Tom Quinn.

“Friends have noticed that like all couples Harry and Meghan have their rows and disagreements,” Quinn told The Sun.

“These are made worse simply because, unlike most couples, they spend almost all their time together.”

“The relationship also gets trickier when things don’t go well with Meghan’s businesses — Meghan was hugely upset and stressed when her internet home-making venture was mocked, and this took its toll on her relationship with Harry,” added Quinn, the author of “Yes Ma’Am, The Secret Life of Royal Servants.”

Is a King Charles US trip to meet with President Trump on the horizon?

By Sean Mandell

Rolling out the royal red carpet?

King Charles is eyeing an official US state visit to meet President Trump, according to a new report. But one palace source cautioned The Post: not so fast.

President Donald Trump (R) and First Lady Melania Trump host a dinner at Winfield House for then Prince Charles, Prince of Wales (L) and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, during their state visit on June 04, 2019 in London, England.

"There are no current dates in the diary for Their Majesties to tour either Canada or the USA, or active Palace planning taking place for either option," the source said.

Rumblings about the King undertaking a tour of the US and Canada grew louder on Thursday, when The Mirror reported that Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, are planning the visit as part of a "charm offensive" to "help [Britain's] diplomatic relations" with the new Trump administration.

Trump has spoken on many occasions of his affinity towards the royal family.

Sources told The Mirror the visit would likely occur next spring, adding that "discussions between governments have already begun with an official invitation from Washington expected imminently."

So far, however, The Post understands that no formal invitations for visits have been extended from either the US or the UK, precluding the ability to make any preparations. Without a firm invite, the monarch could only express a willingness to undertake a state visit, as schedules and priorities allow. 

Should Charles undertake the transatlantic journey, it would be the first visit to the US by a British monarch since 2007, when the late Queen Elizabeth II made her final trek to America.

Notably, July 4, 2026, will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States declaring independence from Britain.

Exclusive: Invictus Games partner gives rare insight into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship

By Nika Shakhnazarova

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s love burns bright even in Canada’s freezing temperatures, according to the duke’s longtime Invictus Games partner.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex — who have been joined at the hip ever since tying the knot in 2018 — this week joined forces at the 2025 Invictus Games event in Whistler and Vancouver.

Harry founded and launched the Invictus Games in 2014 as multi-sport Paralympic-styled games for wounded or injured servicemen and veterans.

And according to Ken Fisher, founder of the Fisher House Foundation — a longtime partner of the Invictus Games — the couple’s connection is “genuine and real.”

“Prince Harry goes to as many events as he can, he and Meghan are very engaged with the families and competitors, so they play a very important role,” Fisher exclusively told The Post.

“What people don’t see is the families bonding, not only with each other, but with other families. Because they and they alone only know what their journey has been like. So it gives them a chance to heal together and share their experiences.”

“They’ve been through so much turmoil but having Prince Harry and Meghan there has been very important,” Fisher said, adding that “they are genuine and the bond between them is a real bond, it’s a wonderful thing to see.”

Prince Harry brings a “unique perspective” to the Invictus Games and “genuinely” wants to help active military personnel and veterans in their recovery process, according to a longtime partner of the event.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, is currently braving the chilly weather in Vancouver and Whistler in Canada where the 2025 Invictus Games are taking place.

It’s no secret that Harry — who quit royal life in 2020 and moved to the US with his wife, Meghan Markle — has played an active role in aiding past and present active duty officers following their service.

And according to Ken Fisher, founder of the Fisher House Foundation — a longtime partner of the Invictus Games — the duke takes a very hands-on approach when it comes to his work with the Games.

“Harry is a very genuine person that really wants to play a role in these men and women’s recoveries,” Fisher exclusively told The Post. “This is a man that never forgot that he was a veteran and that these men and women are struggling.”

Among those were chocolate treats that featured the Invictus Games logo, as well as some sweet treats from Canadian chain Tim Hortons.

The couple’s kids also received custom jerseys from Team Nigeria, each of which featured their names promptly written on the back.

Princess Anne's husband returns to royal duties following mystery illness

By Nika Shakhnazarova

Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, has made a defiant return to royal duties after suffering a setback from a mystery illness.

The former naval officer, 69, was spotted relying on crutches as he visited the Science and Innovation Park in Wroughton, Swindon -- roughly 80 miles away from London.

There, Laurence resumed his responsibilities as chair of the Science Museum Group after being forced to take a time out last month following an injury.

In January, Sir Timothy sustained a suspected torn ligament on the Gatcombe estate in Gloucestershire, the royal residence he lives in with the Princess Royal, 74.

As a result, he was unable to travel by air, forcing him to remain holed up at the property as he recovered, leaving Anne to visit Cape Town for an official engagement alone.

Her Majesty, 77, made the candid remark to actor Rory Kinnear and author Malorie Blackman during a visit to the Unicorn Theater in London Wednesday.

Speaking about his conversation with Camilla, Kinnear said, "[The Unicorn] is somewhere I used to bring my kids when they were small, I still bring my youngest, and we were just talking about how she used to bring her grandchildren, but we’re both at the point where they’re almost becoming too old now."

"It’s a wonderful place not only for entertaining kids but also for inspiring and giving that first taste of creativity and imagination for so many people," he added.
