Both the young royal and her grandfather appeared to be wearing matching 'friendship bracelets'

Princess Charlotte appeared to intentionally match with King Charles when she stepped out at a public event over the weekend.

The young royal attended the Wimbledon final on Sunday with her mother Kate, in the Princess of Wales’ second public outing since her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.


Sitting in the Royal Box, Charlotte wore two “friendship bracelets”, one pink and one mint green, on her right wrist.

The jewellery bared a striking similarity to her grandfather’s, who has been spotted wearing a red and yellow threaded band at numerous occasions - most recently during his Guernsey visit with Queen Camilla.

He was also pictured wearing the bracelet yesterday when in Jersey with Camilla, as well as during his visit to the Senedd in Cardiff to celebrate its 25th anniversary on July 11.

It is not confirmed if the new addition to the King’s jewellery collection is a gift from the young royal.

Charlotte, wearing the pair of colourful bracelets, sat next to her mother whilst she received a standing ovation at Wimbledon. It was Kate’s latest public appearance since she appeared at Trooping the Colour a month ago.

The pair watched the men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, and were also joined by Kate’s sister Pippa Matthews.

Prince William was unable to accompany his wife and daughter at the final due to a royal diary clash.

Kate normally presents the trophies to the men's and women's singles winners at the tennis tournament and the event had been pinpointed as a likely next appearance for the Princess of Wales.

She has been there nearly every year since 2011 and is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Charlotte was also pictured wearing another eye-catching piece of clothing recently. After England lost to Spain 2-1 in Berlin on Sunday, Kate and William shared a photo of their children watching the match, alongside an inspirational message.
