In an interview with Town and Country magazine last year, he opened up and explained why this piece of jewellery means so much to him.

The 33-year-old got it just after his beloved mother, Princess Diana, passed away.

“I first came [to Africa] in 1997, straight after my mum died. My dad told my brother and me to pack our bags — we were going to Africa to get away from it all,” he said.

It was then that he picked the bracelet up, and brother William has been spotted wearing a similar one too.

He often pairs the bracelet with another beaded bracelet, which he started wearing shortly after he began dating his now-wife, Meghan Markle.
