While on a trip to Cape Town, Prince William has been spotted wearing a handmade bracelet from his daughter Princess Charlotte - and now he's opened up about the touching promise behind the gift
Prince William has opened up about the touching promise he made Princess Charlotte after he was spotted wearing an adorable gift from his daughter.
William explained: "Well, this is a this is a, I think, a relic, if you like, from a Taylor Swift concert that my daughter decided that she wanted to create a bracelet for. She gave it to me when I came away. So I promised that I would wear it and try not to lose it while I was out here." The future king also told of his belief that the awards encompass optimism as the planet enters a critical phase. William met the 15 finalists of his global environmental awards this morning at the glorious Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens at the foot of the iconic Table Mountain, telling them "we are here for you".
He said: "You know, every family tries to do what they can to sort of help with the environment. We go through all the basics of recycling and making sure we minimise water use and turning off lights when we leave the house and stuff like that, and making sure, which is sensible in what we do around the environment. And I think every family has these conversations. You just try to do what you can.
Paying tribute to his wife, the Princess of Wales, who has taken a leave of absence from the start of the year when she was hospitalised after abdominal surgery and later diagnosed with cancer, William said she would be watching the awards with interest from the family home in Windsor. When asked how the Princess was doing, the future king said: "She's doing really well thanks. And hopefully she is watching tonight, so cheering me on. She's been amazing this whole year.
