Boys Must Wear Only Shorts to Show They’re High-Class
It’s well-known that the Royal Family adheres to a strict and detailed dress code, though the finer points of what the children must wear may be less familiar. For the young princes, the protocol dictates wearing shorts until the age of eight, after which they are permitted to transition to trousers. While this practice may appear arbitrary and somewhat peculiar, it is rooted in tradition.
This dress code is said to symbolize class distinction and the transition into manhood. Trousers on a young boy are considered middle-class attire and deemed appropriate only for older boys. One might wonder, don’t they feel cold?
