Prince Harry has been melting hearts everywhere he goes in Australia, just yesterday he was snapped with an adorable little boy who stroked his beard in the cutest way. 

If you have been following Harry's movements for a while now, you would have noticed his bracelet that he always wears.

He wore it during their engagement photo shoot, their wedding day, and now during the royal tour.

It turns out that the bracelet is a tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana.

Royal experts believe that he acquired the bracelet during a 1997 trip to South Africa shortly after his mother died.

Harry has previously spoken about the trip after his mother's death.

"I first came (to Africa) in 1997, straight after my mum died," he said.

"My dad told my brother and me to pack our bags — we were going to Africa to get away from it all."

As well as the bracelet, Prince Harry has also been spotted wearing a new black ring lately.

Royal experts still haven't worked out its significance, but think that it has something to do with Meghan Markle.
