Included in the collection of charms he chose for her were a pair of ballet slippers, a polo cap, a pig, an apple, and a miniature St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral, which is where the couple were married. Two other charms formed the initials \u201cH\u201d and \u201cW\u201d for each of Diana\u2019s sons, Prince Harry and Prince William. It is reported that the piece was so treasured by the late princess that she rarely wore it in public.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"celebrities attend the championships wimbledon 2026 day 14\" title=\"Celebrities Attend The Championships Wimbledon 2026 - Day 14\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4000\" height=\"5495\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1cfcf0c2-0532-4270-9d93-e3cbbeaa4971.jpeg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Karwai Tang\/\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">This isn\u2019t the first time that Charlotte\u2019s jewelry selection has nodded to Diana.
