Prince George joined sister Princess Charlotte and their parents for Wimbledon in 2023 – but his appearance caused a stir among fans at the time.
On June 30, 2024, highlights from last year’s Wimbledon tournament will air on BBC Two.
Supporters were delighted to see George, now 10, and Charlotte, nine, at the men’s singles final in south-west London in July 2023. Charlotte’s presence in the royal box marks the first time she had attended the tennis tournament.
Royal fans were in raptures to see Charlotte, alongside her elder brother, mother Princess Kate and father Prince William. Footage that aired moments earlier on the BBC also showed the young royals being shown the coin for the toss by ball boy Mu’awwiz Anwar.
But amid the royal sightings, George came in for particular attention from some observers who were divided over one particular aspect of his demeanour.

That’s because some Twitter users were questioning what George was wearing on a summer’s day.
“Poor Prince George… he looks so warm with his suit jacket on,” one Twitter user wrote.
I feel sorry for George being suited up in the heat.
Another said: “I feel sorry for George being suited up in the heat.”
Additionally, someone else claimed: “Prince George, a little boy, dressed in suit and tie for Wimbledon. No sense of perspective, have they?”
However, while it was the middle of July, most of the UK was experiencing mixed weather – including rain showers.
And so other social media users reckoned it was understandable why George was in a suit. Furthermore, his “dapper” look came in for plenty of approval from fans.
‘Love the look’
“Chilly in the UK today,” one Twitter user reasoned. “George already looking quite dapper in a suit.”
Another social media user echoed that thought: “Prince George looking dapper today Wimbledon.”
Another said: “It’s the Royal box, there’s a strict dress code.” Someone else added: “What is wrong with dressing appropriately for the occasion? Look around the Prince. Do you see anyone else in a t-shirt?”
But George wasn’t the only one to come in for commendation about he was wearing.

And an accessory worn by Charlotte also got the thumbs up.
“How adorable does Princess Charlotte look in her sunglasses?” one person wrote.
Meanwhile, someone else added: “Princess Charlotte and her mama the Princess of Wales twinning in their sunglasses at #Wimbledon.”
