King Charles was spotted wearing a gift thought to be from Princess Charlotte at Trooping the Colour over the weekend. On Saturday, June 13, Charles and Camilla joined other members of the Royal Family to mark the King’s official birthday with the usual pomp and pageantry associated with the annual celebration.
It included a flypast by the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, and the traditional carriage procession, with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Prince and Princess of Wales also in attendance.
Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte were there too – and Charlotte’s presence was notable in more ways than one. As King Charles waved to the crowd, he revealed two colourful accessories on his wrist.
Richard Eden wrote in The Mail: “When King Charles waved to the crowds after an RAF flypast for Trooping the Colour on Saturday, he revealed two colourful string bracelets on his wrist.

As a fan of US pop sensation Taylor Swift, Charlotte has joined other “Swifties” in making personalised friendship bracelets, which fans swap with like-minded concertgoers at gigs.
Charlotte even secured the opportunity to meet the Fate of Ophelia hitmaker and her husband-to-be, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, backstage at the Wembley leg of her Eras Tour in 2024.
Charles was also observed directing an unsure Charlotte and young Prince Louis on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the event. Speaking exclusively to us, lip reader Jeremy Freeman shed light on the exchange shared between Charles and Charlotte.
According to Jeremy, Charlotte turned and asked: “Time to wave? Appearing to address everyone, Charles replied: “Very good. Now we give a wave.” He added: “Wave to everyone. Cheerio. That’s right, thank you very much.”
