Prince William’s new piece of jewelry is certainly one-of-a-kind.
On a four-day royal visit to South Africa, he was spotted wearing a beaded bracelet boasting the word “Papa,” which was apparently made by his daughter, Princess Charlotte, 9.
The jewelry, rendered in various shades of blue and green, pays tribute to his children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, 6, who often call him Papa.

His vibrant bracelet popped against a black suit and gray button-down.
On Nov. 5, while participating in a panel for day two of The Earthshot Prize Awards, Prince William paired the colorful bracelet with a navy suit and white button-down.
The bracelet is reminiscent of the friendship styles that were trending during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

And that likely wasn’t a coincidence, as his daughter is a big fan of the “Cruel Summer” singer.
To celebrate his 42nd birthday in June, he brought his two eldest kids to Swift’s concert in London, where they all snapped a few selfies (one featured Travis Kelce).

In fact, in July, the princess was pictured wearing multiple homemade bracelets while attending day fourteen of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships — and apparently King Charles III even has a matching friendship bracelet with the little royal.
Who will be Charlotte’s next customer?
