The Belgian children look nice and festive. Elisabeth and Eleonore's red dresses fit in nicely with the golden background and I also like Elisabeth's stylish pumps. Emmanuel and Gabriel look smart in their suits.

I think Charlotte's photo was taken that day too. The more I see of that lovely dress, the more I like it. Not fond of George's look, especially of shorts in autumn...

Little boys of a certain class wear long trousers until they are about 8. Also, it's extremely mild here.

They both look adorable. Love the shorts and knee socks. Dressed my toddler boys as such when it was mild enough. Glad they are keeping his hair longish.

Love little George's look with the sweater and collared shirt. He almost looks too perfect. They all, actually, look too perfect but it's nice to see them happy.

George and Charlotte look very sweet and age-appropriate. I love the classic style of George's outfit. It's nice to see children be dressed as children instead of miniature adults.

I know, but it seems a bit strange to me. Why not long trousers/jeans once in a while?

Shorts are a very upper class thing for little boys, as Florestane said. They will often wear them throughout the year, even in Winter.

Since the photo is from the same time as Charlotte's individual photos, I don't have much to comment on her dress as I've seen it recently.
I don't have a problem with George's outfit, I think it's sweet.

December 19: Lady Louise Windsor and her brother the Viscount Severn wearing nice outfits at this year's Christmas Ascot. I love Louise's coat:

I love what James is wearing - that blazer is lovely and his checked shirt with the tie is adorable.
I am not a HUGE fan of Louise's outfit because of her white tights... She's 12 - she's way too old to be wearing white tights now. I like the coat as it's very traditional and very Windsor, although she is quickly (if not already) growing out of it. It's from 2014 - Easter 2014. This just shows how much she's grown in nearly 2 years. It used to be long on her arms and now it's well above her wrists.
Just means we'll see Louise in white tights at Christmas again this year, which I don't get as she's been seen in tights other than white ones. This was her best look and not in white tights.

Louise and James both look lovely - I really like Louise's coat. I knew there would be comments about Louise's tights and/or shoes.  She looks absolutely fine to me, and I like the white tights much, much better than the tan/brown ones she wore before. The only thing I don't really like about her outfit today is the gray dress (well, it looks more like what I would call a jumper, but I know that's something different entirely in the UK), because I don't think the grey and the white go so well with Louise's coloring (which is basically the same as mine, so maybe that's just something I'm really attuned to). James is looking dapper, as always.

I love how the Wessex children are dressed. Louise's coat is very classy. I don't have a problem with her white tights and Mary-Janes. She see,s to prefer that look and that's OK. I'd be a little perplexed if she still chose to wear them when she was eighteen years of age, but twelve is still relatively young and she can get away with it just fine. She'll have her entire adult life to dress like a grown-up. I like her dress too. It seems to go with her style of attire. James looks very dapper in his blazer. A little gentleman.

Yes, I agree about Louise. To me, she always appears comfortable and "herself." Very classic. And, indeed, she's 12 - not even a teenager yet. And there are different ages at which kids decide to start transitioning into more adult clothes.
James always cracks me up, because he so often does look like a little gentleman - and he really pulls it off. I think he'll be a very sharp dresser when he's grown up!

Sophie must "dread" looking into her daughter's closet and realizing that the outfit she purchased last month and intended her to wear no longer fits.  Yes I know that feeling all too well. Louise's coat looks like those worn by Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie at that age though I'd bet money that Louise will be the tallest of HM's granddaughters. Viewing these photos confirms what all of us have known for years. Louise greatly resembles her maternal grandmother. Swap brown hair for blonde and we'd think that we were looking at photos taken in the 1930's. Both have nearly identical expressions in some of the pictures.

Nicolas is very cute and I like what he's wearing. However, what makes him precious in this photo is his facial expression.
