The close, clear bond between Prince George and King Charles is subtly on display in the Wales Family Christmas Card.
The picture, which was taken in April 2025, showed Princess Kate and Prince William with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
George was seen wearing a blue beaded bracelet on his wrist, with the accessory holding a deeper significance for his relationships with other members of the Royal Family.
The accessory goes hand in hand with King Charles wearing a woven, orange and red garment during a visit to the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in London.
The act demonstrates the close bond between the pair.
The King also wore a similar accessory during a visit to Guernsey alongside Queen Camilla last year.
It is believed to have been made by his granddaughter, Charlotte, inspired by a tradition at pop singer Taylor Swift’s concerts.
The princess was seen wearing one in a similar pattern while at Wimbledon last summer.

Charlotte wore two of the threaded bracelets, one with several shades and another with green, blue and pink fabric.
It is an accessory which has appeared to have become a popular garment for the future King.
George wore it for his 11th and 12th birthday portraits, as well as during the Euro 2024 final with William in Berlin.
Friendship bracelets have grown in popularity since last summer, driven by Taylor Swift’s tour.

The photo distributed by the Prince and Princess of Wales was accompanied by the caption: “Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas.”
The photoshoot of the family by Josh Shinner was done in Norfolk ahead of Prince Louis’ seventh birthday.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have used pictures from the photoshoot to mark Prince George and Prince Louis’ birthdays this year.
They also shared an image of Prince William with his three children for Father’s Day.

This year, King and Queen opted for a portrait marking their 20th wedding anniversary, captured at Villa Wolkonsky, the British ambassador’s residence in Rome, by photographer Chris Jackson for their Christmas card.
The image showed the couple smiling in the grounds of the residence during their State Visit to Italy earlier this year.
Charles wore a blue pinstripe suit complemented by a grey tie and silk pocket square.
Camilla chose a white and beige coat dress by Anna Valentine for the photograph, accessorised with the Lily of the Valley brooch, a Fabergé piece previously owned by the Queen Mother.
The flower traditionally represents new beginnings, marital happiness and the “return of happiness”.
