King Charles chose a thoughtful souvenir for his eldest granddaughter while visiting Belfast yesterday.<\/p>\n
The 77-year-old monarch, accompanied by Queen Camilla, stopped at W5 LIFE at Odyssey Place, a 20,000 square foot digital learning centre, where he encountered young entrepreneurs backed by the King’s Trust.<\/p>\n
Rachel Rose, founder of jewellery enterprise Empower Flower, presented His Majesty with a handcrafted beaded bag charm intended for Princess Charlotte.<\/p>\n
“Thank you, she will love that,” the King responded warmly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Mrs Rose explained her motivation: “I wanted to give back after experiencing some dark times myself. I’m trying to encourage people to come off their phones and use their hands to create some magic.”<\/p>\n
The bond between grandfather and granddaughter runs deep, according to those familiar with the royal household.<\/p>\n
Royal biographer Robert Jobson told Hello earlier this month that Charlotte “enjoys a close relationship” with the King.<\/p>\n
“He totally adores her,” Mr Jobson stated. “She loves it when he reads to her in his funny voices.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The young princess, now 11, affectionately refers to His Majesty as “Grandpa Wales.”<\/p>\n
Royal author Ingrid Seward has also spoken of their connection, telling People that Charles “once wanted a daughter” and likely maintains “a very nice relationship with his granddaughter.”<\/p>\n
Grandfather and granddaughter are also said to share a mutual appreciation for ballet.<\/p>\n
Charlotte has developed a fondness for crafting friendship bracelets, a trend popularised by Taylor Swift fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Prince William revealed during a South Africa visit in November 2024 that his daughter made him a “Papa” bracelet at a Swift concert.<\/p>\n
“She gave it to me when I came away. So I promised that I’d wear it and try not to lose while I was out here,” the Prince of Wales explained.<\/p>\n
The King himself was spotted wearing a red and yellow friendship bracelet as he departed the State Opening of Parliament in July 2024, remarkably similar in style to accessories Charlotte had worn days earlier.<\/p>\n
Charlotte is anticipated to make her next public appearance at Trooping the Colour on Saturday, June 13, joining the Royal Family for the King’s official birthday parade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A palace insider previously described the young princess as “a natural” who has “taken to royal events like a duck to water.”<\/p>\n
The King maintains warm relationships with all three Wales children, including Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, eight.<\/p>\n
However, he was regrettably unable to attend Charlotte’s 11th birthday celebrations on May 2, as he was concluding his State Visit to Bermuda at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
