Back in November 2017, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement, everyone was captivated by Meghan's stunning engagement ring. The ring featured diamonds from Princess Diana's personal collection, making it a heartfelt nod to Harry's late mother. But let's not overlook another equally meaningful piece of jewelry — Harry's silver bracelet. This bracelet, adorned with dark engravings, has been a constant companion for almost two decades and holds a deep emotional significance for the Duke of Sussex.
Harry's Bracelet: More Than Just an Accessory
Sharp-eyed royal enthusiasts have noticed that Harry frequently wears this special bracelet, and it's not just a fashion statement. According to the UK's Good Housekeeping, this piece of jewelry serves as a personal reminder of his beloved mother, Princess Diana. Diana tragically passed away in a car crash in August 1997, leaving a profound void in Harry's life. This bracelet, therefore, acts as a tangible connection to her memory.

Harry was first seen wearing the bracelet at a polo match in 2001, but it's believed that he purchased it much earlier during a family trip to Africa. Harry has always had a special bond with the continent, and this trip was particularly significant. "I first came [to Africa] in 1997, straight after my mum died. My dad told my brother and me to pack our bags — we were going to Africa to get away from it all," Harry shared in an interview with Town and Country magazine. It was during this trip that Harry and his older brother, Prince William, each chose a bracelet to honor their mother's memory.
A Trip to Remember: The Story Behind the Bracelet
Throughout the years, Harry has been photographed numerous times wearing this meaningful bracelet. Most recently, he was spotted wearing it on his wedding day, while traveling to the reception with Meghan. Dressed impeccably in a black and white tuxedo, Harry waved to onlookers as he left Windsor Castle in a classic Jaguar E-Type convertible. Fans couldn't help but notice the silver bracelet on his wrist, a touching reminder of his mother's enduring presence in his life.
