Queen Victoria and her Prince Consort,Albert were a real love match;in an era when most political matches were just that,an affairs were common,Victoria and Albert were faithful and supportive of each other.When Albert died,Victoria wore her widow's weeds until the day she died,over forty years later.
Another love match was that of the Queen Mother,Queen Elizabeth and King George VI;Bertie,as the King was known to family and friends,fell head-over-heels with Elizabeth,who wasn't too sure that she was up to taking on Royal Duties.He convinced her,and they were very happy together until he died of lung cancer.She never remarried.It was their family unit that inspired the concept of the "Family Firm"; unfortunately,the next generation wasn't as successful at keeping a close,united family front as George and Elizabeth were.The current Queen and her spouse were also a love match,but there were questions about the Duke's wandering eye years and years ago.

This is not a question that has an answer.
The only people who really know how loving & romantic a couple are can be the couple themselves. The public face, for any couple no matter who they are, is sometimes very different to the private one. A couple can look very loving & happy but at home the opposite can sometimes be true.

The question being Monarch - I'd go with the modern - Elizabeth and Philip. They've sure stayed together through tough times with family and country.
British Royals in general, definitely, the Duke of Windsor, who gave up the throne for Wallace-Simpson. Beautiful love story - even though it damaged the monarchy for a while.

George VI and Elizabeth were generally regarded as very devoted to each other, as were Victoria and Albert. True love was rarer the earlier you go, as marriages were usually more for political than romantic reasons.

King Edward I and Eleanor of Castile were famous for their love, in an era when royal marriages were political arrangements. Eleanor was the mother of Edward, the first Prince of Wales, who was born at Carnarvon Castle, and from whom the title has descended ever since.
Eleanor seldom left his side, and even accompanied him on Crusade. There is an ancient tale that she saved his life by sucking the poison from a wound inflicted by an assassin's poisoned dagger.
When Eleanor died, the King was so devastated, that he had a cross erected in every place where her coffin rested on the way to her burial. A few of the Eleanor Crosses can still be seen today, nearly 900 years later.
And Charing Cross in London derives it's name from the place where that cross stood ("chere reine" - "dear Queen" in French).

Our own Queen reportedly fell in love with Philip at first sight when she was only about 14 years old. She said this about him in her speech celebrating their golden wedding anniversary: "...He is someone who doesn't take easily to compliments but he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know."
For a woman who famously keeps her true feelings to herself, that truly was a public declaration of love and devotion.
A ruler that many people may not have heard of, a Prince of Wales (when Princes of Wales were actually Welsh Princes!) Llywellyn Fawr was married to Joanna, the daughter of England's King John. Although theirs was a political marriage it was said to have developed into a deep love affair, so much so that he actually forgave her for being unfaithful to him (this was totally unheard of in those days) and after her death he had a friary build in her memory.
