Prince William’s bizarre accessory choice will make you do a double take
Prince William’s bizarre accessory choice might have gone unnoticed by some during his trip to Cornwall with Kate Middleton
Prince William’s bizarre accessory choice might just have flown under the radar for some fans but once you notice it could make you do a double take.
- The Prince and Princess of Wales paid their first joint official visit to Cornwall as Duke and Duchess of the county on February 9.
- For this special engagement Prince William opted for a head-to-toe blue outfit but decided to wear two accessories you might not have spotted.
- This royal news comes as we revealed the sweet way the Queen would prepare for Prince William's weekend trips to Windsor.
Whilst the Prince and Princess of Wales might not be glimpsed out and about again for several days given it’s Prince George, Charlotte and Louis’ half-term break from Lambrook School, the couple’s schedules have been packed in recent weeks. The future King and Queen Consort made their first visit to Cornwall since becoming Duke and Duchess of Cornwall last year.
During this trip Prince William’s candid comment shed an intriguing light on his TV preferences and Kate Middleton rocked her favorite Hobbs coat and a studded belt. However, she wasn’t the only one who added extra details to her look in Falmouth, as Prince William’s bizarre accessory choice meant he was double-prepared.
Though it might not be immediately clear, certain snaps taken on the day reveal that the Prince of Wales was wearing two watches - one on either hand. Believed to be left-handed or at least ambidextrous after being seen writing with his left hand at engagements, Prince William opted for a classic family watch on his right hand.
This is reportedly an Omega Seamaster Diver 300 watch which features a blue dial and steel case and given his preference for wearing blue, this goes perfectly with plenty of his outfits. He’s regularly spotted wearing this particular watch which seems to be the senior royal’s go-to and it was even his choice for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding day.
It’s said to have been a gift from his late mother Princess Diana before her passing and so is likely also treasured for this special association. Prince William’s bizarre accessory choice to wear two watches saw him opt for a smartwatch on his left hand - visible just below his jacket sleeve in photos taken in Cornwall.
