On July 14th, Princess Charlotte enjoyed a delightful girls’ day out at Wimbledon, attending the men’s singles final alongside her mother, Princess Catherine. Seated in the royal box, Charlotte charmed the crowd with her natural poise, wide-eyed excitement, and signature youthful style.

As cameras captured Charlotte clapping, smiling, and adjusting her sunglasses with confidence and curiosity, royal watchers quickly noticed a charming detail: two friendship bracelets — one pink, one mint green — wrapped around her wrist. The sweet accessory sparked a flurry of admiration on social media. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Princess Charlotte is like me! I wear bracelets on both arms too — she looks adorable!”
But the bracelets held more meaning than just a fashion statement.
A Quiet Connection Between Grandfather and Granddaughter
Observers were quick to draw a connection between Charlotte’s bracelets and a now-familiar red-and-yellow threaded bracelet worn by King Charles in recent weeks. The King was first spotted wearing it during his July 11th visit to Wales to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Welsh Parliament’s devolution, and again on July 15–16 during his visit to Jersey and Guernsey.
While Charlotte’s pastel accessories didn’t match the King’s exactly, the timing of their shared bracelet-wearing raised eyebrows — and warmed hearts. According to royal sources, Charlotte gifted the bracelet to her grandfather, and the fact that he’s worn it to major public events is seen as a touching gesture of appreciation and affection.
Their matching accessories have become a subtle but powerful tribute to the growing bond between King Charles and his young granddaughter — a relationship built on small, meaningful moments that continue to resonate with royal watchers and fans alike.
Subtle Tributes Through Royal Style
This isn’t the first time King Charles has worn items tied to his grandchildren. He’s previously been spotted wearing a pink-and-blue dinosaur tie, reportedly a Christmas gift from one of his grandkids. He wore the tie to church in January 2023 and again during his return to public duties in April, following his cancer diagnosis earlier in the year.
These personal touches — from ties to bracelets — paint a picture of a monarch deeply devoted to family, especially as the royal household navigates both public responsibilities and personal challenges.
Charlotte’s Continued Public Presence
Later that same Sunday, a photo of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was shared by Kensington Palace, showing the children cheering on England in the UEFA final from home. Both wore personalized England jerseys, and Charlotte had her hair in a sweet half-up braid. Though England lost to Spain, the photo was paired with an uplifting caption from William and Catherine, praising the team’s effort:
“Your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us — young and old. Congratulations to Spain.”
The photo was taken by Princess Catherine, shortly after she and Charlotte returned from Wimbledon — one of only two public appearances Catherine has made in 2025 due to her cancer treatment. A palace insider noted the warm public reception she received at Wimbledon was “incredibly fulfilling.”
Though Prince William was unable to attend Wimbledon due to a scheduling conflict, the day was a special one for Charlotte, who not only enjoyed time with her mother and aunt but also quietly shared a symbolic gesture of love and connection with her grandfather — a small bracelet with a big heart behind it.
