I don’t know what took so long, but I finally just did my first full-on social media creep on Meghan Markle. Her Instagram game is pretty tight – she’s not a total Kardashian with endless selfies, nor is she one of those people endlessly taking photos of her food, nor is she constantly posting random, cryptic quotes about the meaning of life in an attempt to feign depth. She posts photos of her dogs, flowers, friends, famous people and charity stuff. And yes, some food photos, but it’s not overboard. Anyway, a lot of media outlets have gone through Meghan’s Instagram with a fine-toothed comb and they’ve come across something interesting: Meghan constantly wears a blue-beaded bracelet, and Prince Harry often wears a matching blue-beaded bracelet when he’s doing events too.
First comes love, then comes jewelry—just not the diamond kind. Instead, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sporting what appear to be matching beaded bracelets. The Suits star has worn a strikingly similar band on her wrist for months, easily spotted in photos shared on her Instagram account.
Most recently, the 32-year-old Prince Harry of Wales [sic] was seen with the bracelet on in London on Tuesday on his way to a rehearsal for the Joyful Noise choir for NAZ, a sexual health charity. Prince Harry has been a staunch supporter of providing sexual resources to communities, particularly HIV testing, which he personally underwent live on Facebook to destigmatize the disease. While Harry was busy applauding the group, photographers captured the colorful beaded bracelet clearly hanging from his wrist—a subtle sign that even while his leading lady wasn’t with him, Markle wasn’t too far away.
I’ve always liked the fact that Harry likes some man-jewelry, and this isn’t the first time he’s worn bracelets that seem to have some kind of personal or charitable significance. I do wonder if the bracelets were his idea or her idea. Hm…what do you think? Is he the one who is like, “baby, I think we should wear matching bracelets, because we’re so in love?” I kind of think he’s that guy.

I need them to make an appearance together soon! I love loved up Harry even more than Bridget Jones Harry.
Apparently a close friend of her’s said that Meghan is willing to give up everything to be with Harry and he could be “the one”. Hmmm…. Sounds like Kate doesn’t it?
Yes but is Meghan “keen”? Because Kate is always so very “keen”.
Well a close friend of Harry said he was head over heels last week. What does that mean about him? 😉 Honestly articles citing “sources” “pals” “friends” “someone close” are usually just an excuse for “we needed to write a story”.
Until Markle does nothing but sit on her ass for a decade – not working, being supported by her parents, waiting for the phone to ring – I don’t see anything like Middleton here.
What would she really be giving up though? The TV show? That would come to an end anyway. She seems to be very into charity work and being with Harry would give her an even bigger platform to do that. I think they would be such an adored couple and I would love to watch Will’s head explode with envy.
Harry’s been wearing that bracelet since he came back from South Africa last year. She might be wearing a matching one but he’s had it far longer than she’s been on the scene. I think the new metal one on his left hand is more interesting. It’s very new 😏
If memory serves, Harry has been wearing this particular bracelet, at one time or another, since 2015. That’s not to say he didn’t put it back on to send a little love Meghan’s way, but just for what it’s worth.
I know I am in the minority here, but there is still something about this that seems off. That doesn’t make me racist or sexist or a hater, just someone with more of a wait and see attitude.
Edit: Is there a reason my comment won’t post? I had another comment a couple of days ago that never posted at all. Are dissenting opinions not welcome anymore or is this just a fluke? Sorry if I’m just being hypersensitive!
No, you aren’t alone 😉 I like Harry, but this has felt weird from the get-go.
But after events, do his people email the press so we all know where we can buy it?!?!!
Made me LOL!
The GoFugYourself girls, who did a book on Harry etc and so I assume would know what they’re talking about, say that Harry’s had that bracelet for years: https://twitter.com/fuggirls
Am I alone in finding the idea of two thirty-somethings wearing couple-y bracelets kind of infantile? I’d expect it of 12-year-olds, not grown adults.
It’s a charity bracelet that he has been wearing for more than a year so…
You are not alone.
I think it’s kind of cute. Not any different than getting matching wedding bands.
I agree. There is a reason, possibly known only to themselves – the meaning behind why they still continue to wear matching bracelets. Yes, sort of like matching wedding bands
I get what you’re saying but if you have ever been in a long distance relationship you find you get really lame. And add to that their secret status- idk I just can’t really judge anybody in that situation because it’s so odd.
He’s been wearing this bracelet non-stop since fall 2015 after coming back from working in southern Africa. The other beaded one in white and green is from this summer. Probably conservation charity bracelets or just some nice little trinkets he picked up while there. Meghan’s bracelet is different to Harry’s anyways.
Btw I want to see them together so badly. Hopefully she’ll visit him after his tour.
@At can you imagine if she was on tour with him behind the scenes? I sense really bad press if she did that.
Isn’t she in the middle of filming Suits? Think it was mentioned she asked for some time out from the filming last week or the week before and speculation was it was because she wanted to visit Harry.
No idea what the truth is on that filming schedule. The US weekly story CB just posted says Suits wrapped for filming last week. Done until January. Means she may have already been off of work when she went to London. So much for all the attacks on her about how she destroyed the filming schedule.
Look at the background (photo of Markle wearing the bracelet), flowers and a bed. They’re serious much to my surprise.
If Harry plans a ski trip this winter it may be the first photos of them together (can Markle ski?) just like his big brother with Kate. The late James Whitaker got the scoop on Kate with William on the ski slopes didn’t he?
Arthur Edwards, not James Whitaker. They banned him from royal events for awhile to punish him.
I see an engagement announcement around Christmas, and a baby announcement around New Years.
It’s so middle school. You’re a friggin rich prince. Get matching bling that’s actually bling. Not something my 9-year-old niece makes me for my birthday.
Standing next to Harry at this event are Prince Louis and Princess Tessy of Luxembourg, who live in London. She works for a mysterious company run by – wait for it – Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.
Good! He could use a little more Jamie Low-Pinkerton and a little less Jason Knauf in his life if you ask me.
JLoP was one of the biggest perpetrators of “Throw Harry under the wheels of the bus for W&K”. Why wish more of him into Harry’s life?
The bracelet is for a charity he supports and he’s been wearing it for about 2 years now.
