It’s usually his mother the Duchess of Cambridge that’s the style focus of the Royal family but lately it’s three year old Prince George‘s sartorial choices that have been in the spotlight.
Regularly drawing comparisons to his father Prince William and uncle Prince Harry as children, we usually see the Prince wearing shirts, cable knit jumpers, long socks and shorts – but never pants.

Shorts. Always. Before you start coming up with fanciful conspiracy theories, it turns out there's a reason behind it.

Not sure if it's a class thing or just an old fashioned thing. I'm British and in my (very working class) parents' day, progressing to long trousers was a big deal. I think it was more about young boys wearing out the knees in their trousers quickly. Even as older boys, when the knees wore out, the pants became shorts.
It's an upper-class frugality thing. Knees on long pants wear out.
