The image was taken by her mother, Princess Kate, and shared today on Kensington Palace’s special media page.
King Charles, 75, has also been seen wearing what appears to be a “friendship bracelet” during his recent public appearances.
This included his visit to Guernsey with Queen Camilla.
The monarch’s bracelet appears to be a red and white knotted bracelet and is similar to two screw bracelets worn by Princess Charlotte at Wimbledon.
As the nine-year-old royal accompanied her mother, Princess Kate, to the men’s final, she could be seen wearing a pink bracelet and another with green, blue and pink topics.
It has not been confirmed whether King Charles, Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s friendship bands are linked, but their popularity has been increasing.
The gift of friendship bands has become particularly trendy among attendees of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, and we saw Prince William take George and Charlotte along for their 42nd birthday.
The royals posted an adorable selfie they took with the world-famous singer after the show.
The idea originates from the song You’re On Your Own, Kid, by Taylor, released in October 2022 on the album Midnights.
This was just before she embarked on her epic world tour and fans took the lyrics seriously.
She sings, “So make the friendship bracelets. Enjoy the moment and prove it. You have no reason to be afraid.”
It started small but spread quickly as fans posted videos of themselves on TikTok, swapping them with others as they waited for the show.
Travis Kelce, now Taylor’s football player boyfriend, even made one with his phone number when he went to a concert last summer while hoping to meet the singer backstage.
He talked about it on his podcast which Taylor listened to and it led to them dating soon after. Talk about romance.

Some of the beaded creations feature song lyrics, while others have acronyms of famous verses that are inside jokes for other enthusiasts.
An elaborately coded fan-made example reads ATWTMVTVFTVSG AVRALPS – or, for non-Swifties, All Too Well Ten Minute Version Taylor’s version of The Vault Sad Girl Fall Version recorded at Long Pond Studios.
As Swiftmania continues to sweep the country, there have even been reports of high street craft stores running out of accounts.
According to body language expert Judi James, Prince George’s birthday image – taken by Kate at Windsor earlier this month – includes six indicators of Prince George’s newfound “confidence.”
Judi told Fabulous: “Like all of his family, George has experienced a growth spurt over the past year.
“His mother’s illness will have had an impact on them all, but there were also fun times, like when he was a Taylor Swift fan with his dad and sister and then his appearance at the Euros.
“This pose reflects that year very well, emitting six important body language signals that provide clues about your personality.”
Kate Middleton’s ‘golden rule’ with George, Charlotte and Louis
KATE’s main rule for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis is kindness.
According to HELLO! Online Royal Correspondent: “Based on observations of photographs of Princess Diana at the time and the current Princess of Wales, both are very affectionate with their children.
“Kate is often seen holding her children’s hands or picking them up to hug them when they were younger.
“There are often a lot of comforting gestures, like patting their back or stroking their hair. When interacting with other children at her public engagements, Kate often crouches down to their level to interact with them – something Diana often did. “
When she is at the family home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, despite her royal status, sources say Kate is just like any other “normal mother”.
A friend explained that behind closed doors, the 42-year-old is “very calm at home” but is definitely not a pushover and will scold the children when necessary.
They told people: “It’s a normal, busy family home, with kids running around and knocking things over.
“She is doing this to help her children be more grounded and keep reality in check. That’s what really matters to her.”
Princess Kate and Prince William’s eldest son was recently seen at the men’s Euro final when England narrowly lost the winning trophy to Spain.
Phil Dampier told Fabulous: “I’m sure he’ll get some wonderful presents for his 11th birthday.
“I’m sure ponies [which can cost £3,000]rifles, fishing rods and expensive toys are options.
“He might even be getting interested in music and maybe given an instrument.”
