Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ public engagement essential inherited from Prince William

Princess Kate always ensures the Wales children are ready for public engagements

While the Wales children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have inherited many of their hobbies and mannerisms from their mother, the Princess of Wales, there’s one element of public engagements that comes straight from their father, Prince William.

If you look back over the last decade of public appearances from the three young royals, you’ll likely notice a trend emerging, and it’s one that Prince William tapped into when he was a boy, too.

George set the trend when he was just one year old, and his younger siblings followed suit…

The trend we’re talking about is the Waleses’ penchant for nautical-inspired attire, from Princess Charlotte’s striped Trooping the Colour outfit, to Prince George’s adorable sailor suits and anchor-emblazoned knitwear.

Read on for all the best nautical-inspired outfits worn by the Wales family – including a special appearance from Prince William!
