“Fred and Gladys”, the intimate nicknames of Prince Charles and Camilla

Of all the moments Lady Di has had to go through, the one with the “engraved bracelet” – dramatized in the fourth season of The Crown – is probably one of the most heartbreaking.

The episode caused great distress to Diana, who at the time realized that her fiance, Prince Charles, was still in love with Camilla Parker Bowles, whom he finally married in 2005.

A few days before her wedding, according to the Esquire portal, Diana, 19, found a jewel engraved with the initials “F” and “G”, specially designed by Carlos for Camilla.

It was a gold Asprey bracelet, which had a lapis lazuli pendant engraved with the letters F and G, representing the names Fred and Gladys. Inspired by the characters of The Goon Show, according to royal specialists, Carlos and Camilla used these nicknames in private.

However, as published by Harpers Bazaar, for Jonathan Dimbleby, journalist and author of Prince of Wales: A Biography (Prince of Wales: a Biography), the meaning of the jewel is different.

For the specialist, the initials on the bracelet refer to “Girl Friday”, in reference to the movie His Girl Friday.

In any case, whether it’s “Fred and Gladys” or “Girl Friday”, everything indicates that the bracelet was meant for Camilla.

The discovery scene was reproduced in the fourth season of the Netflix series The Crown and is corroborated by Andrew Morton, author of the biography Diana: Her True Story (Diana, her true story).

According to the biographer, the princess told him that days before the royal wedding she had visited the office of the Prince of Wales’ personal secretary because someone had told her that the heir had had a bracelet designed for her lover.

“I went to the office and asked (the secretary), ‘What’s in that package?’ And he said, “You shouldn’t look at it. So I opened it and there was the bracelet,” Morton says, Lady Di told him.

According to the reporter, the situation left the princess “devastated” and generated a lot of anger, because Carlos was not “honest”. Carlos also gave Camilla the bracelet two days before her wedding to Diana.
