The royal family has access to some of the best gems, jewelry, and fashion items in the land, but sometimes they just want to rock a simple initial necklace to show their love for their kids. Royals like Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton own so many accessories featuring their children's names or zodiac signs. But there are also royals with bags, bracelets, and phone cases that pay equal tribute to their children or grandchildren.
Let's just say that when it comes to how much the royals love their little ones, they're willing to trade high-end fashion and chic family jewels for simple and sweet nods to their kids. Basically, if it can be monogrammed, the royals are in.
Here are 15 times the royals honored their children with their own sentimental accessories.
Diana's Pendant
Princess Beatrix's Bag
Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands has a similar bag to the one Fergie has. Only instead of featuring images of Eugenie and Beatrice, Beatrix's bag shows off her granddaughters, Princesses Catharina-Amalia, Alexia, and Ariane. You can see the cute tote here. It's not that chic of a style, but it is sweet.
Say Cheese!
Queen Silvia of Sweden also has a photo accessory that pays tribute to her granddaughter. During the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Queen snapped some pictures, and people were quick to notice that her phone case features a photograph of her granddaughter Princess Estelle. Now that's one proud grandma!
Kate's Dangly Chain
Following the birth of her first child, Prince George, Kate was gifted this sweet personalized charm necklace. The founder of the jewelry brand actually sent the piece to Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton, and asked that Pippa pass it along to the duchess. She did, and it became a big part of Kate's wardrobe — until she had more kids, of course.
Updated Necklace
After having two more babies, the Duchess of Cambridge gave her jewelry a little update to accommodate all her kids. This gold pendant necklace features the initials of George, Charlotte, and Louis, alongside some stars. She's worn the golden charm on several occasions.
Three's Better Than One
If Kate is feeling extra sentimental about her little ones, she also has this gold necklace, which features three separate charms for each of her children. The circular gold discs are engraved with a "G," "C," and "L," as a nod to her kids' initials. It's so cute that Kate wants to keep her children close to her heart like this.
Meghan's Simple Initial Charm
When Meghan attended Wimbledon in 2019, it was one of her first outings since she'd given birth to baby Archie. And while she loves tennis and no doubt had fun, she probably also missed her little one. Good thing she had him close to her heart. Meghan wore a dainty chain with a simple gold "A" on it to this event.
