Jodie Haydon has revealed the unique accessory she wears to special events.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s fiancee was seen wearing a diamond bracelet at King Charles and Queen Camilla’s welcome ceremony in Canberra on Monday.
The financial services professional, 45, showed off the tennis bracelet while standing alongside the royals as they signed a visitors’ book in Parliament.
Haydon has been seen wearing the accessory on several special occasions, including the King’s coronation and the announcement of her engagement.
She let the bracelet and her diamond engagement ring stand out as she wore a simple navy dress and jacket to the event.
Navy blue is Haydon’s preferred color for royal occasions, and he also stayed true to form as he greeted King Charles and Queen Camilla upon their arrival in Australia on Friday night.
He looked effortlessly elegant in a single-breasted navy blue suit that featured four black buttons down the front.
With matching suit pants, she completed her look with a white blouse and subtle nude pumps.

Blue has become Haydon’s color of choice for important official events, as she also wore a fitted mid-length blue dress by Australian designer Karen Gee to the coronation of King Charles in May 2023.
Known for recycling her dresses, Haydon also donned a very similar navy suit when Albanese, US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden met for a private dinner ahead of an elaborate state affair in October last year.
However, Haydon’s outfit on Friday was a far cry from her usually stunning evening gown.
She has previously worn sparkly dresses, most notably in 2023, when she made a striking appearance in a smoky gray ballgown at a state dinner hosted by President Biden and his wife Jill at the White House.
The dress, made by Australian designer Paolo Sebastian, featured subtle Australian motifs woven into the fabric, showcasing the country’s rich tapestry of unique wildlife and flora.
In 2022, Haydon looked sensational in a spectacular sequin dress at the 2022 Midwinter Ball in Canberra, before wearing it again on the same occasion this year.
The King and Queen disembarked their RAAF flight to be welcomed by Governor General Sam Mostyn, NSW Governor Margaret Beazley, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, NSW Premier Chris Minns , and Mr. Minns’ mother, Cara.
But 12-year-old Ky Exelby and his sister Charlotte caught Their Majesties’ attention.

Haydon also wore the diamond bracelet when she announced her engagement to the Prime Minister in Canberra on February 15.
Ky, who received a life-saving bone marrow transplant from her sister, presented a corsage to Queen Camilla after requesting to meet the royal couple through the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
It is the King’s first visit as the country’s new sovereign and, curiously, the first time in history that a King of Australia has been to the country where he is head of state.
The only monarch to have visited so far was Queen Elizabeth II, the last time being just over a decade ago in 2011 to commemorate her Golden Jubilee.
His father, King George VI, was unable to travel there due to poor health, while King George V never attempted the long journey.
Haydon is also ideally colored for royal occasions, and stayed true to form as she greeted King Charles and Queen Camilla upon their arrival in Australia on Friday night.
On Tuesday, Australians will be able to see the royal couple from 4:20 p.m. on the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House.
King Charles and Queen Camilla will review the Australian warships Arunta, Gascoyne, Hobart, Warramunga and Yarra, anchored in Sydney Harbour.
In addition to those formal occasions, the royal couple will visit the CSIRO and meet firefighters to learn more about the centre’s work fighting bushfires, according to a statement from the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace.
Haydon was wearing a very similar navy suit when Prime Minister Albanese, US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden met for a private dinner in October 2023.
