Princess Charlotte Adorns Matching Friendship Bracelets with Royal Family – Hollywood Life
Prince George recently turned 11, and per tradition, Kate Middleton, 42, shared a portrait of her son, which she also shot herself. The photo showed the young man in a black and white suit with a friendship bracelet on his left wrist, just like the ones his sister, Princess Charlotte, and grandfather, King Charles III, have been sporting this summer.
Prince George turns 11! HBD! As per tradition his proud parents released an official portrait to mark the occasion. He is shown smiling and looking relaxed – though dressed smartly in a suit and shirt, accessorised with a friendship bracelet.

When the King, 75, waved after departing the State Opening of Parliament with Queen Camilla, 77, on July 17, he was wearing a string bracelet on his right wrist. The red and yellow twisted strand accessory looked like the ones his granddaughter wore when attending Wimbledon.
On July 14, the 9-year-old princess joined her mom, still undergoing cancer treatment, and aunt Pippa Middleton for a girls’ day out at the tennis tournament, where they watched the men’s singles final from the front row of the Royal Box.

Princess Charlotte stood, clapped, and adjusted her sunglasses throughout the match, revealing her accessories: two string bracelets on her right wrist.
King Charles’ bracelet was first visible when he traveled to Wales on July 11, and waved on his way into the Senedd, making the trip to commemorate the Welsh Parliament’s 25th anniversary of devolution from the U.K.
The King has previously paid subtle tribute to his grandchildren through his style, and the Daily Mail reported that a pink and blue dinosaur tie in his royal wardrobe is thought to have been a Christmas gift from one of his grandchildren.
The monarch first sported the accessory to church in January 2023 and wore it again for his return to public-facing work in late April following the palace announcement of his cancer diagnosis in February.
String bracelets have long been a must-have for summer and became associated with Taylor Swift after the music superstar included a line about friendship bracelets in the lyrics of a song on her 2022 album, Midnights.
Friendship bracelets have had an explosive pop culture moment amid Swift’s global Eras Tour, which Prince William attended with his two eldest kids, George and Charlotte, in London on June 21, for his 42nd birthday.
It is unclear whether or not the Swiftie Princess Charlotte is the direct reason for the handmade accessorization. All we know is that we love the look and support family banding together.
