Among the items taken were a £55,000 heart-shaped diamond pendant and a £42,000 Cartier Love Bangle bracelet.
A £25,000 Rolex Daytona was also stolen during the July raid in Poole.
The burglary occurred while Harry was away on July 25.
None of the stolen jewelry has been recovered.
John McLintock, a 37-year-old father from Cricklewood, North London, denied the burglary charge at Willesden magistrates’ court via video link from a police station.
He and another individual reportedly used a ladder to break through a balcony window around 3:30 PM.
Prosecutor Edward Aydin stated: “This bears striking similarities to the recent Louvre-style heist.
“They smashed windows open after utilizing a ladder.”
McLintock has been remanded in custody and is set to appear at the crown court next month.
