A brave boy York has given a very special Christmas present to his royal favourite.
Rupert Bradley, the six-year-old son of independent city jewellery Kay Bradley, got a hand-finished silver egg-cup and spoon among his Christmas presents.
It bears King Charles III’s last coronation commemorative mark. And Rupert loved it so much he begged his mum to help him organise one for Prince Louis.
The prince, the youngest child of Prince William and Princess Catherine, and grandson of the King, is also six.
“Rupert has always loved Prince Louis,” said Kay. “They were born within a few days of each other, so that’s why he feels a connection.”
Rupert, who has a lower limb condition called Bilateral Talipes, explained why he loves the young prince.
“He always looks a bit cheeky and fun,” he said. “Louis is likely to be our next Duke of York so it’s important that he has a special connection to our magical city.”
Kay adds that despite having a very tough start in life, Rupert is always thinking of others. “Sadly, our boy has been in and out of hospital having operations, but he is ever so brave and stoic. We are so proud of him.”
As an ardent fan of the royals, Kay was also first through the door when the coronation commemorative mark was launched in March 2023.
Bradley’s Jewellers York is now celebrating receiving the last commemorative mark on a special piece of silverware marked for Prince Louis.
