No Pants For Young Princes
Confused as to why Prince George never wears pants? This third in line to the throne only wears shorts. As William Hanson, a British etiquette expert told Harper’s Bazaar, “Trousers are for older boys and men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent markers that we have in England. 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.” Only when a young royal boy reaches eight years old do they begin wearing pants.
