There's nothing cuter than an outing featuring the royals with their children. Whether it is a low-key daytime engagement for Mia and Lena Tindall or a formal royal wedding for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the royals always dress to impress and their children are always turned out neatly.
Unsurprisingly, there are a host of expectations around how royal children should dress, including that young boys should wear shorts. But a dress code point that many royal parents, including Princess Kate and Sarah Ferguson, have stuck by, despite it not being protocol per se, is dressing their children in matching outfits.
Throughout the years, royal children have coordinated with their siblings in the sweetest looks for public outings from matching summer dresses to in-keeping tartan. Take a look at the full array of royal siblings in coordinated outfits, from a young King Charles to the modern-day heirs.
