Prince William has revealed that he has a “special relationship” with his young daughter, Princess Charlotte.

The royal, who also shares 11-year-old Prince George and six-year-old Prince Louis with the Princess of Wales, has recently displayed how close he is with his daughter by wearing a sweet bracelet made specifically for him by the nine-year-old.

During his recent visit to Cape Town, Wiliam was spotted wearing a small blue and beaded bracelet with the word ‘Papa’ on it.

According to royal expert Jennie Bond, the father of three wore the adorable gift “proudly and prominently” during his trip.

Speaking exclusively to OK!, Jennie said: “William will have known that the bracelet she made for him would draw a huge amount of attention – he wore it proudly and prominently. It was an endearing sign of how close he is to his daughter.

“I’m sure Charlotte will have watched her dad in South Africa with pride, especially after such a brutal year.”

Discussing William’s bond with Charlotte, who is the couple’s second child, Jennie added: “I think daughters and dads tend to have a very special relationship – especially when there’s only one little girl in the family.

“And this seems to be true for William. I’m sure he’s immensely proud of all three of his children, but there is perhaps a particular place in his heart for his sporty little Charlotte.”

This sweet bond would also be extended to King Charles, who is said to view his eldest granddaughter as a “source of joy”.

The expert also shared that the 76-year-old monarch “adores” his daughter-in-law, Princess Kate.

Discussing Charlotte’s bond with her paternal grandfather, Jennie added: “It’s a source of great joy for the King to have a granddaughter.

“He had always hoped for a daughter himself and now he has a darling daughter-in-law he adores – they are closer than ever after their cancer experience – and a granddaughter he loves to be with as often as life allows.”
