According to recent reports, this is the real reason Prince George wore a suit despite the Wimbledon heat wave after being seen bravely facing the high temperatures under the sun.
On July 12th, the prince and princess of Wales attend, alongside his eldest children George and Charlotte, the tennis tournament men’s singles finals, where they all wear formal looks despite a U.K. heatwave.
During the weather reaching the mid-80s°F, Prince George and Prince William were dressed in suits and ties, and although the heir to the throne seemed to be accustomed to the high temperatures, his son was seen cooling off by drinking water and using a handheld fan.
The reason the young prince had to wear these warm clothes was that the Royal Box they were sitting in is an exclusive 74-seat area of Centre Court at Wimbledon, which, according to the tournament’s website, has a dress code for its attendees.
“Protocol—dress is smart, suits/jacket and tie, etc. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them.”
Exposed directly to the sun from their seats, the members of the royal family protected themselves from the heat using fans and handheld fans, as well as sunglasses and hats provided by the event itself, bending some rules amidst this heatwave.
