Mum-of-22 Sue Radford shows off TWO new £4k bracelets from brand Princess Kate & Molly-Mae love… even the Queen is a fan
MUM-OF-22 Sue Radford was well and turly spoilt this Mothers Day as she opened stashes of gifts and had a breakfast spread cooked for her by husband Noel.
And it seems she may have got a few other presents off-screen as she was spotted in the YouTube video with a few additions on her wrist.
The mum of Britain’s biggest family has expensive taste as the bracelets seem to be from a designer brand even the royals love.
Noel filmed the day over on their YouTube channel, starting the day by making Sue and the kids a feast any mum would love.
The platter of dishes included freshly cooked pastries, exotic fruit and ham and cheese as Noel says the mum loves a continental breakfast.
Sue came downstairs to reveal that today was indeed a very special day – not only because of Mother’s Day – but also as their book The Radfords: Making it Count had become a Sunday Times bestseller.
The mum then went on to open her cards and gifts from her family which included candles, flowers and facemasks.
But it seemed she had a few new pieces of jewellery added to her collection that even Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla love.
On her wrist were two bracelets from Van Cleef, featuring their iconic four-leaf clover design.
It appears that Sue has got the five motifs Carnelian stone bracelet as well as the Malachite bracelet with diamonds.
And they come in at a hefty price tag according to jewellery expert Alexandra Michell from Gemologist at Prestige Pawnbrokers of Channel 4’s Posh Pawn.
She told Fabulous: “These look like VCA Alhambra bracelets, one in white gold with pave set diamonds and one in yellow gold with carnelian.”
The brand was launched in the 1960s, she explained, and have been worn by stars and dignitaries since then, becoming an instant classic.
“These bracelets retail anywhere from £1460 for a single motif model to £56,000 for the extra-large 5 motif model in carnelian or diamonds,” she adds.
According to the Van Cleef website the Carnelian bracelet goes for £4,700 while the Malachite and Diamond arm candy costs £13,300.
And Sue isn’t the only person to love the brand – Queen Camilla was spotted wearing a blue version of the bracelet at a 2022 Buckingham Palace reception.
The Princess of Wales also wore the brand on the red carpet while attending the EE British Academy Film awards at the Royal Albert Hall in 2020.
Some people do have an obsession about the word ‘millionaire’ but we just chuckle when people mention this, because we’re certainly not millionaires.

Kate Middleton wore the Magic Alhambra necklace and matching earrings at the event and has been spotted wearing it on several other occasions.
Even Love Islander Molly-Mae Hugh is a fan and has been spotted wearing the Malachite bracelet on Instagram.
Despite the apparent thousands of pounds worth of jewellery on Sue’s wrist – the couple denied they were ‘millionaires‘ in their new book.
“Some people do have an obsession about the word ‘millionaire’ but we just chuckle when people mention this, because we’re certainly not millionaires!” Noel said.
In one extract, Sue recalls the judgement the couple received from social media users after splashing out on a lavish motorhome, which they frequently use for family UK getaways.
“When we bought the motorhome, so many people were like, ‘you’re just rubbing it in people’s faces,'” she says.
“I’d wanted a motorhome for years and we have had to work bloody hard to be in a position where we could actually afford to buy one, so why aren’t we allowed to?”
To finish off their humble Mother’s Day celebrations at home – the family had a roast dinner made by Noel and enjoyed it with a nice glass of Champagne.
