To think Prince George should not be wearing a jacket and tie?

[lurchermummy]

He's at Wimbledon, it's very hot - can't help thinking he should be in a nice cool polo shirt. I know it's none of my beeswax really I was just pondering.

Your argument doesn’t really work given the current trend for adults to dress themselves and their children in ‘leisurewear’

Oh yawn. How many more years are people going to be trotting this one out every time a royal child attends a sporting event in a box/enclosure has a dress code that they adhere to? Royal children are not going to live an ordinary life, and they start preparing for that from a young age. Jog on.

He’s in direct line for the throne, but does anyone actually expect us to still have a monarchy when his time comes.

Why don't they need rules. Who says people shouldn't be allowed to dress according to the weather. What right have they got to make ppl suffer and be overdressed on a hot day. Stuffy and outdated. Nobody has the right to impose a dress code.

Nobody has the right to impose a dress code.

And nobody has the right to attend the Men's Final at Wimbledon.

Of course they do, stupid thing to say.

Nobody has the right to insist people wear a shirt and tie on a sweltering hot day idiot's.

I think provided he's got shorts on as well it is fine, but otherwise it is not necessary to be showing off the orbs and sceptre just yet.

They only have the 'right' to attend if they abide by the rules set by the organisers of the event, one of which may be a dress code.

They do if they are the organisers of a private event.

Not sure where I read it but apparently Prince George absolutely idolises his dad and wants to wear the same as him.

William also wore a suit when he attended Wimbledon with his mother at about the same age George is now. If it had traumatised him that much I doubt he would insist that his son did the same.

A private event they do and everyone did. Didn't see any empty seats

Why would they want to do that though?
Why inflict torture on someone by making them overdress in 30 degrees.

You don't think you're being just a tad melodramatic here?

Ha! Quite! I was well Jel at their front row seats.

Particularly as has already been said, Centre Court has shades and air conditioning/cooled airflow pumped around.

Yet still they go on about it being so very, very hot there. He's not going to be walking back to catch a tube from Wimbledon Station. He's going from airconditioned Centre Court to airconditioned car.

Why do people have too wear suits. What is wrong on a hot day with a smart open neck shirt with short sleeves.

Why do you need a strict stuffy dress code?

I thought it looked very uncomfortable for him. No one would have batted an eyelid if he’d had a blazer and no tie.

It is a dress code, everyones adhered to it. You don't like it, if you are invited to the royal box, then you don't go.

Obviously no one turned it down as the area was packed.

Nothing in the right place but it doesn’t comply with that particular dress code which stipulates a jacket and tie. Formal shirts look awful with short sleeves, long and rolled to the elbow works.

Why do you need to have a dress code?

To stop people turning up inappropriately dressed in short sleeved shirts.

I am so intrigued by this!! How on earth did he come by a waistcoat at the beach? Is that what you packed in your bag for the day (we normally bring a few towels, swim stuff, bucket and spade etc.. Just wondering the events which would lead up to this scenario!!...)

It doesn't matter

The parent thought it was cute so packed it.
