The royals’ sweet nod to their families – from Queen Mary of Denmark to Queen Camilla and Princess Kate

Queen Mary of Denmark recently turned heads in a new portrait with King Frederik, not only for her crisp white dress, but also for her choice of accessories.

The bateaux neckline drew attention to a delicate £545 Halberstadt necklace, with an ‘F’ initial in a heartfelt nod to her husband.

Mary wore this necklace more than 115 times, including at major events such as the coronation of King Charles.

The latest performance carried extra weight and symbolized the couple’s enduring bond after last year’s rumors surrounding King Frederik and Genoveva Casanova.

Similarly, members of the British Royal Family often present personalized jewelry with deep personal meaning.

Below we look at some notable examples – from Queen Camilla to Princess Kate.

Camilla’s ‘FG’ bracelet

Weeks before he married Diana, Charles had a bracelet made with the letters ‘F’ and ‘G’ on it.

A gift for Camilla, the initials stood for Fred and Gladys, their pet names for each other.

The bracelet, along with wedding gifts, was delivered to Buckingham Palace and fell into the hands of Diana.

When she confronted Charles about the bracelet, he described it as a gesture of gratitude to a friend.

Camilla has worn the bracelet numerous times since, including at Wimbledon in 1989.

Sarah’s ‘Eugenie and Beatrice’ bracelet

At the Cannes Film Festival, the Duchess of York dazzled in a £13,200 cape dress.

However, it was her sentimental cuff, adorned with the names of her daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice, that caught fans’ attention.

This bracelet was first spotted in 2005 and remains a testament to Sarah’s dedication to her children.

Kate’s ‘GCL’ pendant

The Princess of Wales, a loyal fan of British jewelry designer Daniella Draper, has worn this special pendant 13 times so far.

Kate recently showed off her ‘Midnight Moon’ necklace, which costs £1,100, in a family video to mark her milestone chemotherapy treatment.

Her 9-carat astrological accessory is engraved with ‘GCL’ for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Kate’s ‘GCL’ initial necklace

While the princess always impresses with her sartorial choices, we have a particular fondness for her choice of finishes, perfectly illustrated in this Daniella Draper alphabet letter necklace.

Made from recycled 9-carat gold, Kate has worn this charming £495 necklace twice, both times in Scotland in May 2021.

Kate’s ‘GCL’ disc necklace

This dainty personalized necklace from All The Falling Stars was worn twice in the fall of 2020 and was gifted to Kate in March of the same year while on tour in Galway, Ireland.

The 14-carat gold piece, which costs £75, bears three circular discs engraved with her children’s initials.

Kate’s ‘C’ bracelet

It is widely believed that Kate received this chunky charm bracelet as a wedding gift from Camilla.

Kate’s official monogram – a crowned letter ‘C’ – is engraved on one side of the charm, while Camilla’s monogram is engraved on the back.

Kate has worn this bracelet a few times, including at Wimbledon in 2011.

Meghan’s ‘A’ Necklace

The Duchess of Sussex understands the power of fashion to convey a story or message.

Shortly after the birth of her son, Archie, the proud mother was spotted wearing a £391 gold initial necklace during a match at Wimbledon.

The delicate ‘Love Letters’ necklace was from Sydney-based brand Verse and offered a touching tribute to her newborn son.

Meghan’s ‘Archie and Lilibet’ pendant

Meghan is a loyal fan of Logan Hollowell, with several necklaces from the LA-based designer in her jewelry collection.

The latest addition is the ‘Call On Your Angels’ coin pendant, made from 14-karat gold with eye-shaped diamonds and stud diamonds, which Meghan wore to a launch party in November.

The pendant is designed to ‘protect’ the wearer and is engraved with the names of her children, Archie and Lilibet.

Meghan’s zodiac sign necklaces

These dazzling diamond necklaces from Logan Hollowell have special meaning for Meghan.

They include zodiac sign patterns representing Gemini, Lilibet’s birth sign, and Taurus, Archie’s zodiac sign.

The chains, priced at £1,283, were once available on Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle site, Goop.

Beatrice’s ‘ESW’ necklace

Princess Beatrice paid a heartfelt tribute to her family with this gold necklace.

The classic design features ‘E’, ‘S’ and ‘W’ charms representing her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, daughter Sienna and stepson Christopher Woolf, who is affectionately known as ‘Wolfie’.
