Prince George has been labelled England's lucky mascot after he cheered on his side to a 2-0 victory in their nail-biting Euros game against Germany on Tuesday.

Showing up to Wembley Stadium to support his country, Prince William and Kate Middleton stood beside their eldest son Prince George as they watched the team triumph.

But while Kate looked her best with luscious curls and a Zara jacket, it was Prince George that stole the spotlight as he sported an adorable mini smart suit to match his dad.

While we couldn’t believe how grown up he looked, his outfit included a seemingly small wardrobe transition which actually held a very large symbolic meaning.

We’re used to seeing the young male royals wear shorts, which has long been the Royal dress code and is deemed proper etiquette.

Now the young Prince has swapped these for trousers, and in so doing the seven-year-old is taking his next step in Royal life.

Traditionally Royal boys don’t start wearing trousers until they are eight years old.

The very first time we saw Prince George sport trousers was back in 2018 when he wore formal attire to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding and once again matched with Prince William in a custom made pants by Savile Row tailors Dege & Skinner.

Since then we have seen the schoolboy opt for this item in pictures such as in the Cambridge’s 2020 Christmas Photo.

Could this be Kate and William continuing to bring The Royal Family and their age-old protocols into the 21st Century?


We saw the same process with Prince William and Prince Harry when they were younger as the pair copied the tradition.

The first time we saw William sport trousers was in 1989 when he attended a wedding alongside his mother, Princess Diana, aged the same as Prince George is today.

Now that we are seeing Prince George attend more events alongside his parents, could this very well be the beginning of him being prepared to take on his Royal duties?
