Princess Charlotte debuts a pretty charm bracelet with a poignant connection to Princess Diana at Wimbledon

From Camilla’s Royal Collection brooches to the Princess of Wales’ earrings, seasoned royal watchers know that for the women of the royal family, jewellery is rarely just decorative. It’s often more sentimental. And it seems Princess Charlotte is also embracing that tradition.

Her late grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales, cherished a gold charm bracelet gifted by Prince Charles after their wedding. For their first ten anniversaries, Charles gave her a new charm: a miniature St Paul’s Cathedral, marking their 1981 wedding venue; a pair of ballet slippers, a nod to Diana’s love of dance; a polo cap for Charles’ Polo passion; an apple, rumoured to symbolise her fondness for New York; and even a tiny pig.

But most sentimental of all were two simple gold initials: ‘H’ and ‘W’, given to her after the births of Prince Harry and Prince William. The bracelet was so meaningful that Diana seldom wore it in public. Now, it seems Charlotte may be nodding to this touching family tradition.

It is not the first time Princess Charlotte has worn a pretty charm bracelet. At the Men’s Singles Final at Wimbledon 2025, the Princess wore another piece by Pandora that was personalised with her own selection of charms. The first is from Pandora’s Disney collection: the Eternity Circle Charm, featuring Charlotte’s emerald-green birthstone.

The second is a rose-gold figurine of Nala from The Lion King, a family favourite. In fact, Prince William revealed in 2017 that Prince George was ‘quite fond’ of the film. The third charm is a white heart disc.
