Kate Middleton sparks intrigue by gifting Princess Charlotte a necklace designed by Chelsy Davy.
In a move that’s caught royal watchers off guard, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been spotted supporting a brand linked to Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend, Chelsy Davy. The drama unfolded during the Royal family’s Christmas Day walk at Sandringham, where Princess Charlotte was seen wearing a striking £1,500 necklace crafted by Davy, who was once romantically involved with the Duke of Sussex.
Jewellery expert Tobias Kormind quickly weighed in, suggesting that the necklace was most likely a thoughtful gift from Charlotte’s parents, Kate and Prince William, hinting at a possible ongoing connection with Davy. “This is most likely a present from the family, and very possibly from her parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales,” Kormind told GB News, sparking fresh intrigue about the family’s ties with the former royal love interest.
Kormind also pointed out that Chelsy Davy, who was a notable presence at Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 wedding, appeared to have parted ways amicably with Harry, suggesting that any tensions between them had long since dissipated. “It seems Chelsy and Harry’s separation was amicable,” Kormind remarked, adding a layer of complexity to the family’s dynamics, particularly given the ongoing public rifts between Harry and other royal members.
The choice of jewellery could also serve as a subtle gesture to support Davy’s brand, which has gained some attention in royal circles. For many, Kate’s decision to pick a piece from a designer with such close ties to Harry’s past is a curious and bold move, especially amid the strained royal family relationships. “I’m sure, Kate, like many mothers, searched for the perfect present for Charlotte and it must have been a welcome consideration to support her friend’s business in the process too,” Kormind added, underscoring the thoughtfulness behind the choice.
While the exact origins of the necklace remain speculative, the timing of the gift—and its designer—has only fuelled speculation about the royals’ private dealings. Many royal observers see it as an attempt by Kate to bridge the gap between the fractured family, perhaps by extending a hand of peace towards Harry’s past connections.
In the context of rising gemstone prices, the necklace also presents itself as an investment piece, making it a valuable addition to Charlotte’s growing collection of family heirlooms. “With the prices of coloured gemstones such as rubies on the rise, it is definitely the right way to go when it comes to investment pieces,” Kormind explained, elevating the significance of the gift beyond mere sentiment.
Whether Kate’s choice is an attempt to make a political statement or simply a reflection of her personal connections remains to be seen, but it’s clear that her selection has left a lasting impression on both royal fans and critics alike. As the family continues to navigate its complex relationships, this gesture serves as another reminder that the royal world is never short of surprises.
