Well I haven't seen any photos of their friends children so can't comment on how they dress their children I gather you have. I would love to see them. They were laughing on a panel show about George's long socks and how does he keep them up does he wear garters ?

I have not, hence why I said "I think". But the people I know from britain says that is how upper class children are generally dressed. And from the little I've seen when my cousins lived in the UK for a while (including their school uniforms) it seems about right.
I cannot say anything about that panel. I've not seen it, and doubt I would like to see it considering they mock kids.

People are so insensitive to how many kids dress on here, especially when that it the common style for school uniform at public school in the UK.
Someone link photos to various school uniform but it doesn't matter continued to mock and insult them just b/c it not the way one dress in my country, social circle.

When George is taking his pictures, on the balcony or like here when he was at a formal-ish childrens party (most women in dresses etc), his version of formal dress is precisely alright. Just like the queen has a scarf when hanging around the horses but a hat and coat on the balcony, George has his jeans at the petting zoo, and his shorts and socks on the balcony.

Very well put. The women and little girls all wore dresses to this party, it was not a casual affair. Why ante people so intolerant of variation, especially in male clothing? I remember when it was shocking for a man to wear a pink shirt, in some places it still is.

No one is mocking or being cruel to the children we are having a discussion about the way they are dressed. That's what happens on TRF. You might like them dressing old fashioned I prefer to see them dressed up to date after all Kate isn't getting around dressed like the Queen Mother. But we all have different ideas no need to say I'm being cruel etc I take I offense at that.

He's just the most adorable toddler out there, even if he's dressed up in a working class way.

Let's not blow things out of proportion. No one is mocking and insulting them, just because it is what kids wear in school uniforms, doesn't make it standard clothes for kids in the uk. This is a fashion thread, jet like adult clothes, not liking how someone is dressed is not mocking the person or their culture.

Exactly!
Diana used to dress William and Harry in Oshkosh overalls, and they looked just as cute.

Compared to how some other royal couples dress their children, I'm very happy the British are more traditional.
Some little royals I've seen are kitted out like Kai Rooney 
Shorts are 'normal' for British royal children. If William and Catherine choose to dress George like a pleb, people would really have a fit.

To be fair we are complaining about how George is dressed for public occasions when Prince Nicolas of Sweden is dressed just as traditionally for public occasions. At the christenings of his cousins Oscar and Alexander he was wearing very traditional clothing and shoes.
Prince Oscar's christening - That top is horrific and so shiny!
Prince Alexander's christening.
The British royals do like to dress their children traditionally and in recent years we only have Viscount Severn's clothing to put George's next to. James wore shirts and jumpers with shorts for many years. Admittedly he didn't wear knee high socks, but he still wore shirts and jumpers.

Fashion for the little and teenage royals Part 9: April 2016 -
The other kids at that party were dressed up too. They weren't in casual wear. George and Charlotte were on an official engagement on a tour. It's not how they would be dressed for a Saturday running around Amner.
Diana didn't put the boys in Osh Gosh overalls for the balcony at Trooping or other dress up occasions. We have seen George wear what William wore at Trooping and a near copy of William's outfit to visit baby Harry at Charlotte's christening.
Google William Harry Easter 1987, the boys are in some hideous little blue double breasted coats that match Diana's buttoned to the neck , wearing shorts that you can't see and white socks and Mary Jane shoes.

Yes, I remember those coats in a dreadful powder blue. They resembled Anne's outfits circa 1953. That was a rare false move by Diana ref her children's clothing though. Usually the boys looked pretty cute.
With regard to George's shorts though, I did think his little legs might have felt a bit cold on a Canadian Autumn day, even with knitted socks. He could have worn a nice pair of slacks instead, but in the end the shorts issue isn't of extreme importance, IMHO.

Charlotte looked adorable with her red shoes and cardigan! I don't mind the shorts with socks for George anymore, but I would be freezing if I wore them with such a weather. I'm italian, though, and not very accustomed to low temps

I like Georges outfits but it is boring seeing him 3 times on this trip in the same style. Also same style as previous pictures/photoshoots. There is nothing new with his outfits or look.
It wont harm to put him in pants for one of the 3 outings for example. A casual blazer instead of the pullovers.

I think Charlotte and George looked adorable for the departure, as well as for the rest of the tour. I love the shorts, jumper, button-down shirt and knee-socks look on little boys. It's charming and George pulls it off so well.
