Hey there, royal watchers! Let me tell you, the world of royals always keeps us on our toes. On Friday, December 14, Kate Middleton and Prince William dropped the cutest Christmas card photo, and it sent royal fans into a frenzy. Seriously, this family portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their three adorable kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and baby Prince Louis—was absolutely heart-melting. But guess what? There's something unusual about Prince George’s outfit that caught everyone’s attention. Let’s dive into it!
A Closer Look at the Royal Christmas Card
When you first glance at the picture, you see Prince George, age five, holding onto his dad’s shoulders with a big smile, balancing on one leg. He's wearing a cute green sweater and those iconic black Hunter rain boots. Now, here’s the kicker: Prince George is sporting blue trousers. Yes, you heard that right—trousers! This marks the first time we’ve seen the eldest Cambridge child in pants rather than the usual shorts. Isn't that wild?
Why the Switch from Shorts to Pants?
For years, Kate and William have dressed Prince George in shorts for every public appearance. You might be wondering, "Why on earth would they do that? Isn't it chilly?" Well, it turns out there's a reason behind this fashion choice. Etiquette expert William Hanson explained to Harper’s Bazaar that dressing young boys in shorts rather than pants is "a very English thing." Hanson elaborated that trousers are traditionally reserved for older boys and men, while shorts are a subtle class marker in England. He noted, “Although times are changing, trousers on a young boy are often seen as middle-class or suburban. And no self-respecting aristocrat or royal would want to be labeled suburban. Even the Duchess of Cambridge!”

Will Prince George Keep Wearing Shorts?
Hanson went on to say that we could see George in shorts until he's around eight years old. Traditionally, boys transition to trousers around that age, a practice that dates back to the 16th century known as "breeching." However, with Prince George being only five, it's possible the pants in this Christmas card photo were a practical choice for colder weather. Who knows? Maybe we'll start seeing more trousers on George as time goes on. Only time will tell!
