Prince Harry has amassed a huge following through his friendly nature, top-notch sense of style, and of course, by marrying Meghan Markle. While it is only after the Megxit that the Duke of Sussex has a legitimate reason to be discussed in the media owing to his best-selling memoir and docuseries, Prince Harry has been making fashion statements throughout his years in the limelight. More often, it is through his carefully chosen bracelets.

Prince Harry’s bracelet became the talk of the town when he wore it on his wrist while addressing the press for the first time since becoming a father. “Parenting is amazing,” the Duke of Sussex said as the camera zoomed in on his hand, trying to capture the baby’s face. While the face was not clearly visible on camera, Prince Harry’s bracelet became the highlight. And according to Hello magazine, he has been wearing it since 2001.

The Duke paired his gray suit with two bracelets that hold a lot of meaning. The bracelet that he often has on his arm is carved in metal. It supposedly traces back to his trip to Africa after Princess Diana’s death. The other band made up of beads is similar to the one that Markle often wears during their public appearances.

But Prince Harry’s saga with bracelets doesn’t end just there. He and Prince William have had a bracelet connection all along.
