But one detail seems to have escaped everyone: Prince Louis broke a tradition of the royal family. In fact, its male members do not wear costumes until they are… eight years old! Yes, normally, before this age, young boys must wear shorts. Prince Louis had already worn pants, only in winter, but never a suit. As reported Hello ! This is indeed the first time that Prince Louis appears in a full costume.

Prince Louis surprises by breaking royal protocol in public

We already mentioned this tradition during Trooping the Color on June 15. Indeed, George was wearing pants, while Louis was in shorts, as is protocol. “It’s a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts,” William Hanson, an expert in etiquette and image and protocol, explained to the media Harpers Bazzarat the time of Easter Mass in 2023. “Pants are for older boys and men, while shorts are for younger boys.”
