Royal fans saddened after hearing Prince George’s three-word complaint at public appearance
An old video of Prince George complaining about the heat at Wimbledon in 2022 has resurfaced, sparking sympathy from royal watchers. The clip shows the young prince telling his parents, “It’s too hot,” while dressed in a full suit during sweltering temperatures.
Many fans took to social media to express their concern for George, now 11, who attended this year’s Wimbledon final with Princess Charlotte under similar hot conditions. Some questioned why he couldn’t wear lighter summer attire for the event.
“Maybe let the kid wear summer clothes in the bright sun,” one fan commented. Others called the formal dress code “a bit much,” with suggestions that a smart polo shirt would be more appropriate for a child in extreme heat.
However, some defended the tradition, explaining that the Royal Box requires men to wear jackets and ties. “They couldn’t do anything about it,” noted one social media user, referencing the strict Wimbledon dress code.
The debate comes as the royal children gradually take on more public appearances. While George and Charlotte attended this year’s final, 7-year-old Prince Louis stayed home – younger than his siblings were during their Wimbledon debuts.
Kate Middleton attempted to comfort George in the 2022 clip, reminding him to “feel for the people sitting in bright sunshine.” But many fans still felt sorry for the young prince enduring formal wear in high temperatures.
The discussion highlights the challenges of balancing royal protocol with childhood comfort, as the Wales children grow into their public roles under worldwide attention.
