Prince Harry replaced his collection of Hermes ties with a £69 British accessory as the Duke of Sussex stepped out in London this evening.
The father-of-two attended the annual WellChild Awards earlier today – an organisation of which he is a patron.
The event celebrates the achievements and resilience of seriously ill children and their families.
For the occasion, Harry traded his usual Hermès silk tie selection for a baby blue-toned accessory.

The tie was adorned with tiny shark and submarine motifs.
The accessory is from British-founded tie menswear brand Reef Knots and currently retails for £69.
Its description reads: “Take a bite out of our shark and submarine silk tie. Featuring a snappy shark and submarine print on the blade and a subtle change on the tail.
“A smart but characterful design. The perfect tie for all occasions including the office, a set of wedding ties, or a fantastic men’s gift.”

He paired the tie with a sleek dark navy blue suit, a crisp white shirt and a stack of colourful bracelets.
Last year, the Duke of Sussex attended the WellChild Awards in London wearing a much more expensive Hermès tie.
The £215 product is no longer available for royal fans to purchase.
Prince Harry opted against staying at a royal residence in London for his trip, having previously raised concerns about his security when coming and going from such high-profile locations.

After Harry’s London visit, the duke will head to southern Africa, where he will visit Lesotho.
This will mark 20 years after Harry’s first visit to the country, having travelled there during his gap year.
In Lesotho, Prince Harry will perform a series of engagements to promote Sentebale, the charity he founded in 2006.
