Prince George's wardrobe: All the times the little royal wore shorts

When it comes to Prince George’s wardrobe, shorts – usually worn with socks – are staple pieces. As an etiquette expert previously noted, the toddler's ensembles have nothing to do with fashion, but rather royal and aristocratic tradition. "It's a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts," William Hanson told Harper's Bazaar UK. "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." Click through for a look at George’s best short and socks outfits…
