Princess Charlotte was spotted at Wimbledon with a new addition to her jewellery collection – an affordable £48 charm bracelet
It seems Princess Kate has some competition when it comes to fashion influence. Her 11-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, has prompted a search frenzy after wearing a dainty new piece of jewellery at the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final yesterday.
The interest comes mainly from the fact that the bracelet isn’t a designer addition, but rather it’s thought to be an under £50 buy that you can even pick up on next-day delivery from Amazon. The piece Charlotte flashed while cheering on the players from the Royal Box has been reported as Ted Baker’s Isabella Icon Charm Adjustable Bracelet, £48 – the perfect dainty piece for those young and old.
The item may also hold meaning beyond being just a pretty accessory. Charlotte’s grandmother, Princess Diana, was a big lover of charm jewellery, meaning the tradition has likely been passed down to her via Kate.
Made with a gold-tone chain and featuring a mix of charms, glitzy crystals and elegant faux pearls, the Ted Baker buy proved to be the ideal addition to complement Charlotte’s custom blue dress. The bracelet’s adjustable clasp means it will fit your exact wrist size, which is important if you’re buying it for a younger teen.

Charm jewellery has been having a real moment in the fashion world since the start of this year, thanks to trend-driving factors like Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty’s jewellery wardrobe, Dua Lipa’s post-honeymoon necklace and Love Island stars wearing their own charm pieces on repeat in the villa.
On Google, ‘custom charm necklace’ and ‘build your own charm necklace’ are now breakout trends, while ‘chunky charm necklace’ and ‘locket charms’ have both increased by 40% month-on-month, proving that Princess Charlotte has inherited her mum’s ability to catch a trend at its peak.
If you want to copy Charlotte’s look for yourself for even less, Prya’s Classic Custom Name Charm Bracelet for £39 is another top buy for a younger teen wanting to start wearing jewellery. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something tarnish-proof with a slightly more adult edge, Lily & Roo’s Gold Pearl Drop Bracelet for £99 is a charming alternative.
While Princess Charlotte is certainly proving she has style credentials, Kate still stole the show at the Wimbledon final in a gorgeous green gown. Designed by Emilia Wickstead, it featured draped detailing and a flattering midi cut – ticking both the sophisticated and breezy boxes.
She teamed the dress with some subtle accessories, including her purple and dark green bow brooch, which is the official emblem of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and marks her role as the club’s Royal Patron.
Alongside the meaningful brooch, she also opted for an oversized straw hat and a pair of her favourite earrings, a luxury pair with clover motifs which cost around £6.3k. The dangling clover earrings tread the line perfectly between elegant and understated, making them perfect for wearing every day.
