Duchess Of Cambridge's Favorite Charm Bracelet Is A Gift From Camilla: Report (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 06/29/2011 11:33 am Updated: 08/29/2011 5:12 am

She's not known for wearing loads of jewelry, but the Duchess of Cambridge has been sporting one special piece from an equally special family member.

The Daily Express revealed that the new bracelet with the circular hanging charm on Catherine's wrist is a gift from her step mother-in-law Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, with whom Catherine has grown quite close.

Although the Daily Express could only confirm the fact through an unnamed source that said that the bracelet was a "personal wedding gift" and therefore a "private matter," the proof is visible for all to see: on one side of the charm is a "C" with a curl, the former-Kate Middleton's new royal cypher, and the other side of the pendant features Camilla's royal cypher, a "C" without a curl. Busted!

As the Daily Mail noted, Catherine has worn both gold and silver versions of the bauble, choosing gold at Wimbledon on Monday and silver for Armed Forces Day on June 25.

Looks like Kate's collection of family heirloom jewelry is growing by the day.

Check out some pics below.

I am disapointed in you "Catherine".
Why would you even want to wear a bracelet from a "low life" like Camilla, after the pain she caused the Princes William & Harry by ruining their mother's entire marriage to Charles??

Charles & Camilla deserve each, and they sicken me.
While I certainly do NOT believe in any conspiracy, it certainly worked out for best for the palace when Diana died. Now, didn't it??

Seems like Camilla got everything she ever wanted out of life! Charles is ok w/ all the bad press he & Camilla have generated over the decades BUT if one of his siblings or one of their spouses generates any bad press Charles can't "forgive" them!!! It sickens me that Camilla was in the front row of Diana's son's wedding!!!!!!! I can't help but think Charles & Camilla will one day have to pay thier karmic debt.

Exactly. And Diana is dead, so it's not like she could have been front row. Everything happens for a reason, we just don't always know why.

Boy, there are a lot of wonderful people commenting here! I sure hope none of them live in glass houses.

It would seem regardless of whether she likes it or not - the young Duchess needs to stay in the favor of the old Duchess - for family peace and harmony if for no other reason than the old one can be a bit mean .......................

People change, people do things they are sometimes sorry for later in life...Maybe Camilla is truly sorry for what happened and wants to try to help Catherine and be her friend.....And maybe Catherine realizes that Camilla needs a little boost .. William and Harry seem to try to get along with their step Mom..Maybe they all just want to move on and be happy..Camilla has certainly tried to step in lately and take a part in royal things...is all this worth the hassle..

This non sense of allowing monarchies to continue to live on public welfare while there are homeless children and families trying to survive day to day is rather asinine and should be abolished world wide! These people who detest the common folk should have to support themselves with the stolen booty they have in their vaults! Just think of the public funds required to maintain their life style?

LET HER WEAR WHATEVER "SHE" WANTS TO WEAR!

What is she? A walking billboard for all the other women in the Royal Family?

Anyone notice the irony? On her left hand, she wears Diana's ring, on the right wrist, Camilla's gift. Chuck's two lovers......

That makes two pieces of cursed jewelry. Diana's engagement ring and the gift from Charles' other woman who made Diana's life miserable.

Two curses? Did her mirror crack from side to side?

How did I EVER live without this important bit of information?

I guess the latest supermarket tabloid indicating Charles and Camilla were about to embark on a $300 million split is just another rumor (as were all those tales of Charles and Diana's imminent split, until it actually happened).

I never could stand Camilla; she did not have the decency to keep herself away from Charles once he was married. We would still have Diana to this day if it weren't for Camilla the piggy. Just because Charles may have wanted to see her, Camilla should have told him to stay away. Once a man is married, the other woman should stay out of his life if she has any standards at all. Not that Charles had any standards if he continued seeing Camilla in the first place. Both Camilla and Charles should have kept their noses where they belonged and away from each other. If you can't, don't get married and ruin someone else's life! The only one of them that was decent was Diana. Charles ruined her life in more than one way.
