Did Princess Charlotte Gift King Charles a Friendship Bracelet?

It’s a detail that sharp-eyed royal watchers couldn’t miss. During the men’s final at Wimbledon, Princess Charlotte was spotted with two eye-catching friendship bracelets. Her mom, Kate Middleton, accompanied her. They made quite the stylish duo. One bracelet had several shades of pink, while the other interwove green, blue, and pink.

Friendship Bracelets Appeal to the Royal Family

These charming accessories have seen a resurgence thanks to Taylor Swift. In her song “You’re On Your Own, Kid” from the album “Midnights,” released in October 2022, she croons, “Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment, and taste it.” Naturally, the Swifties (Taylor’s fans) crafted and exchanged these bracelets by the thousands at her concerts. Did Charlotte catch the friendship bracelet fever after attending Taylor’s London concert last June? It sure looks that way!

But wait, there’s more! The biggest surprise wasn’t Charlotte’s stylish wrist candies. It was spotting her grandfather, King Charles, also wearing a similar bracelet on his right wrist. Let’s face it; a king rocking casual jewelry isn’t your everyday sight! Sharp eyes caught it first during King Charles and Camilla’s visit to Wales on July 11. The same sighting repeated during trips to the Channel Islands and even at the UK’s Parliament opening ceremony. Clearly, he’s grown quite attached.

A Gift from Charlotte to the King?

The burning question: where did King Charles get this bracelet? Everyone’s betting it’s a gift from his granddaughter, Princess Charlotte. After all, he wasn’t seen at Taylor Swift’s concert. It makes sense she’d want to share this cool, trendy item with a grandparent. Last November, Prince William got friendship bracelets from kids during a visit to the Millennium Powerhouse in Manchester. However, William didn’t make a public fashion statement with them.

In contrast, King Charles can’t seem to take his off. This little accessory not only marks a tender bond between grandfather and granddaughter but also blends tradition with a modern twist. It looks like friendship bracelets have found their way into royal hearts, turning a simple craft into something royally sweet.
