As Valentine’s Day approaches, we’re looking at themes of love and desire in the Royal Collection. Romance has always been a popular subject in art and literature, and many objects in the Collection feature romantic symbols that we recognise today like hearts, cupids and flowers. Read our trail to learn about the origins of Valentine's Day, find out how Michelangelo used archers as symbols of passion and discover why Rowntree's made a very small box of chocolates.
Also coming up, we have a Valentine's-themed writing challenge, details of a special online event and a new recipe for you to try.
