- Prince Louis' first full suit
- Louis breaks royal tradition
- Heartwarming family moments
Prince Louis reached a notable milestone during the Princess of Wales' annual Together at Christmas carol concert. For the first time, the young royal donned a full suit, matching the stylish attire of his elder brother, Prince George, and his father, Prince William. This event marked a departure from his usual outfits, which have typically consisted of shorts or trousers paired with knitted jumpers.
Prince Louis breaks royal tradition
Traditionally, male members of the British royal family begin wearing suits at the age of seven. Prince George, for instance, first appeared in a navy suit and striped tie at the Euro 2020 final when he was seven. British etiquette expert William Hanson explained that young boys typically transition to trousers around this age, as it is a silent class indicator in Britain. He noted, "Prince George is always seen in shorts because upper class and upper middle-class parents believe that little boys should look like little boys, and so try to keep their offspring looking as cute and innocent for as long as possible."
Heartwarming family moments
In addition to his sartorial debut, Prince Louis shared a touching moment with his mother, Princess Kate, at the carol service. He was seen standing close to her, highlighting the bond between the young royal and his family. The festive event, held at Westminster Abbey, brought the royal family together, with the young royals capturing the spotlight. Prince Louis also participated in a heartwarming activity by leaving notes on a "kindness tree," expressing gratitude to his grandparents, Carole and Michael Middleton, for their love and support.
