Poor Prince George

Jackets off seems reasonable, if the rules are so important.
I doubt the monarchy would crumble because a child was given some leeway.

I think the boy looked very smart but am thinking he was also too hot. Jackets off for the men/ boys in the royal box would have been a sensible idea.

If it was bash of any kind, it would have been about Meghan and Harry.

All this isn’t about rules at Wimbledon, it’s another republican
bash.

If the child had worn shorts and tee shirt we would have a thread ‘ the royal’s ignore rules’

Oh yes!

Would you Miss Adventure ? You would break all rules at all
events ?

No, I'd break unnecessary ones in the interest of having a comfortable child, and also to update the stuffy image the royals have.

I've yet to see males on a beach wearing suits and ties because it's so comfortable.

What is going to happen if a child doesnt wear a suit to watch tennis?

It isn't a health and safety issue; quite the opposite, I'd say.

If the rule is that men must wear jacket and tie in the royal box that is no problem - he is not a man; he is a child.

It’s one way of drawing attention to one’s self

You know, grown up and civilised.

True. Challenging and suggesting improvements is a different approach though.

Just because they are rules doesn’t mean they can’t be changed or challenged. No doubt it was also a rule that no women could buy drinks at the bar or some such nonsense.

Nah, I reckon Addy only wants them to break what she sees as pointless rules so we can carry on bitching about royals. ?

Yes, I reckon that she probably would!

Perhaps he loves tennis and wanted to be there, if not he shouldn’t have been. The suit ridiculous. Who would expect anyone to wear collar and tie on the hottest day. Casual much cooler and comfortable especially for a youngster of 7.

if a seven year old is choosing to dress like an old man

George is not seven, that’s Charlotte.

He turns nine later this month.

Would everyone forget he's a,prince if he didn't wear a shirt and tie?
I'd love to see them break these absolutely pointless "rules".

Exactly Annie 'one rule for the royal's' etc etc.

I'm sure you're right westendgirl they're damned because they followed the rules and would have been damned if they hadn't.

Sorry, I didn't get to your comment, westend, though I did read quite a few comments. They all seemed a bit silly and judgmental to me so I pitched in. It only took a ggl check to find out the tennis club rules. Makes you wonder why people don't.... well, they don't because they want to make silly and judgmental remarks, I suppose.

Thank you Baggs. That is exactly what I said much earlier, so glad you are on the same track. The Cambridges were only sticking to the dress code.no doubt had they not done so it would have caused comment.

Required for the royal seating area.

Re sunhats, isn't the royal box at Wimbledon shaded?

Apparently "smart dress" is required, which for males is shirt, tie, jacket. Tennis Club rules, so prolly not his parents' choice.

Oops, sorry Nanna8. My post got stuck and arrived after yours.....
