Prince Harry Ditches Necklace with Tie to Prince William

If you've been following along, you might remember that Harry wore a necklace at last year’s One805LIVE! concert in September 2024 that had ties to his older brother, Prince William. In his memoir Spare, Harry shared the story of a physical altercation with William that left his shirt torn and that very necklace broken.

In a later interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in August 2024, Harry confirmed he’d had the necklace repaired and he’s been spotted wearing it multiple times since, including during a trip to Colombia with Meghan.

The necklace features three pendants: a Tiger’s Eye stone from a friend in Botswana and two cardiograms representing the heartbeats of his children, gifted by Meghan.

And considering the circumstances under which it was broken, it’s also a quiet reminder of the love Harry has for his family and the tension between the brothers, tension that, at least according to Spare, boiled over when William allegedly called Meghan “rude” and “abrasive.”

So its absence this time around? Well, that might be nothing or it might be saying something. Especially since it comes not long after Harry’s brief reunion with King Charles in London.

During his nearly week-long visit to the U.K., with a few other stops along the way, there was speculation that the Duke of Sussex would reunite with King Charles, especially after he was spotted arriving at Clarence House, the monarch’s London residence. That speculation was confirmed when Buckingham Palace announced that the King had hosted a private tea with Prince Harry, adding that no further details would be shared.
