King Charles Keeps Wearing This Tiny Gift From Princess Charlotte—Here's Why

He may be His Majesty King Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith…

… But that hasn’t stopped him from wearing what is believed to be a sweet gift from his granddaughter Princess Charlotte.

11-year-old Charlotte reportedly made the two friendship bracelets that her grandfather has been spotted pairing with everything from the suit he wore at the 2026 Commonwealth Games to the military uniform in which he took part in his official birthday , Trooping the Colour.

On the latter occasion the sentimental strands of colourful thread were spotted peeking out from below Charles’ sleeve as he waved to the crowds from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Apparently Charlotte has been making friendship bracelets for members of her family, and it looks as though Charles has been one of the gifts’ recipients.

Charlotte’s participation in the timeless tradition of giving and receiving friendship bracelets began after she attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium in London in 2024.

The Eras Tour is notable for the thousands of friendship bracelets Swifties made in advance of the concerts in order to exchange them with fellow fans.

Charlotte and her 13-year-old brother Prince George were brought to the Eras concert by their father Prince William, and afterwards met Taylor Swift backstage and posed for a selfie with the princess of pop and her now-husband Travis Kelce.

William has also been spotted in one of the bracelets made by his daughter. Made of green and blue beads and spelling out the word ‘Papa’, the Prince of Wales was asked about the accessory when he was visiting South Africa.

“”Well, this is a relic, if you like, from a Taylor Swift concert that my daughter decided that she wanted to create a bracelet for,” he said.

“She gave it to me when I came away. So I promised that I’d wear it and try not to lose while I was out here.”

Charlotte’s mother Kate Middleton has also been seen wearing a blue friendship bracelet that was made for her by her daughter as a ‘good luck charm’ ahead of the Princess of Wales successfully completing the Three Peaks Challenge earlier this summer.

Kate and Charlotte have had a number of adorable twinning moments in recent months. Last week the Waleses stepped out for a rare family outing to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with mother and daughter coordinating in white dresses with black stripes.

And for Trooping the Colour The Princess of Wales and Charlotte were spotted with a particular matching accessory that had a special significance to Kate’s late mother-in-law and Charlotte’s grandmotherPrincess Diana.

Charlotte’s three-strand pearl bracelet was identical to the one her mother wore. As for Kate’s own bracelet, it once belonged to Diana and was one of her favorite pieces of jewelry.

Designed by Nigel Milne the pearl-and-diamond bracelet was often spotted on Diana’s wrist.
