Duchess Catherine sent William pants for Valentine's Day

Duchess Catherine sent Prince William a pair of £25 Ralph Lauren boxer shorts for Valentine's Day.

Britain's Duchess Catherine sent Prince William a pair of boxer shorts for Valentine's Day.

The Duchess of Cambridge packed up a medium size pair of Ralph Lauren briefs and posted them to the Falkland Islands, where the prince is currently completing his training as a search and rescue helicopter pilot.

While William received the £25 briefs, he sent his wife flowers and a card which said: "Missing you."

Catherine purchased the shorts from people's store Peter Jones in Chelsea, West London.

A store insider told The Sun newspaper: "The shorts are very popular and very trendy.

"Kate knew what she wanted when she came in and went for the boxed trunks that give a very nice fit.

"She is in here a lot buying clothes and stuff for their homes. It's nice to know we can be of such use."

The duchess spent the traditionally romantic day on Tuesday (14.02.12) on her own, making a charity visit to Liverpool, where she visited the Action on Addiction charity.
