The one thing Prince Charles wears to every royal christening
<p>Royal fans have noticed this sweet detail that Prince Charles wore at the baptism of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.</p>
<p>It’s a very subtle accessory that is a purple flower. It’s known as a Dianthus Devon Wizard and eagle-eyed royal watchers have spotted that he’s worn it to three out of four of his grandchildren’s christenings.</p>
<p>Prince Charles wore the flower to Princess Charlotte’s christening in July 2015, Prince Louis’ in July 2018 and now Archie’s.</p>
<p>It’s rumoured that the only reason he didn’t wear the flower to Prince George’s christening is due to the fact it wasn’t in bloom at the time.</p>
<p>"Dianthus is believed to have derived from the Greek words 'dios' meaning God and 'anthos' meaning flower – translating as God's or Divine Flower," Lavender Green Flowers told <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2019070875058/why-prince-charles-always-wears-same-flower-christenings/" target="_blank">HELLO!</a> Magazine</em>. The florist was behind Pippa Middleton’s wedding.</p>
<p>"Although there is lots of speculation about what these symbolise, a significant one is that they are believed to be the flower for maternal and undying love."</p>
