• Prince William is on his royal tour in South Africa
  • He caught the public's eye with a unique piece of jewelry
  • The prince's bracelet stole the show in a recent event

During a recent four-day royal tour of South Africa, Prince William caught the public's eye with a unique piece of jewelry. The 42-year-old royal was seen wearing a beaded bracelet inscribed with the word "Papa," a creation attributed to his daughter, Princess Charlotte, aged 9. This charming accessory, crafted in various shades of blue and green, serves as a tribute to his children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, 6, who affectionately call him "Papa."

The bracelet first made its appearance during Prince William's engagement at the Earthshot Prize Climate Leaders Youth Programme in Cape Town. Here, he interacted with over 120 young leaders, and the vibrant bracelet stood out against his formal black suit and gray button-down shirt. This meaningful piece was more than just an accessory; it was a symbol of his close bond with his children.

A fashion statement with sentimental value

On November 5th, Prince William continued to wear the bracelet while participating in a panel for the second day of The Earthshot Prize Awards. This time, he paired the colorful piece with a navy suit and white button-down shirt, further highlighting its significance. The bracelet's style is reminiscent of the friendship bracelets that gained popularity during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. This connection is no coincidence, as Princess Charlotte is a known fan of the "Cruel Summer" singer.

In June, to celebrate his 42nd birthday, Prince William attended a Taylor Swift concert in London with his two eldest children. The family enjoyed the event and even captured a few memorable selfies, one of which included Travis Kelce.
