George and now his brother Prince Louis both observe the odd royal clothing tradition. However, according to experts, there is a posh reason for this seemingly strange fashion decision, one that dates back centuries. Etiquette expert William Hanson explained the Cambridge’s wardrobe choice to Harper's Bazaar , saying: "It's a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts.
Trousers are for older boys and men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent class markers that we have in England. "Although times are slowly changing, a pair of trousers on a young boy is considered quite middle class – quite suburban. And no self-respecting aristo or royal would want to be considered suburban.
Even the Duchess of Cambridge. " READ MORE: Prince George could go in the carriage at Trooping the Colour event for the first time this year This class distinction was previously made by Pince William and Pince Harry who can also be spotted wearing exclusively shorts for the first few years of their lives. Apparently, before the adoption of shorts in the 19th century, tradition demanded that young royals actually wore little dresses until they were deemed old enough to wear trousers.
Hanson says that boys tend to switch from shorts to trousers around the age of eight which means George is officially free of them. He was actually allowed to ditch them a little early, being spotted in trousers when in 2018. However, Prince George, now 8, can officially switch to the more grown-up long leggings, but his little brother Louis has still got a while to wait before he can make the same sartorial transition.
