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 just for her crisp white dress but also her choice of accessory. 

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

Mary has worn this necklace over 115 times, including at major events such as King Charles’ coronation. 

Its most recent appearance carried extra weight, symbolising the couple’s enduring bond following last year’s rumours surrounding King Frederik and Genoveva Casanova.

Similarly, members of the British Royal Family often showcase personalised jewellery with deep personal significance. 

We explore some standout examples – from Queen Camilla to Princess Kate – below.

Camilla’s ‘FG’ bracelet

Weeks before marrying Diana, Charles commissioned a bracelet inscribed with the letters ‘F’ and ‘G’.

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

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

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

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