Coronation page uniforms changed because Prince George feared bullying at school after event

The nine-year-old son of the Prince and Princess of Wales was one of four pages who assisted the king when he was crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey on Saturday (06.05.23) and is sad to have spoken up about not wanting to wear white knee breeches as he feared getting bullied at school after the event.

A courtier source told the Daily Mail: “(George wasn’t) keen on wearing tights and becoming a subject of ribaldry at school.”

The breeches and tights were replaced with trousers – after deciding to replace his own breeches with naval trousers.

But the 74-year-old stuck to keeping the buckled court shoes that should only be worn with tights.

would seem to be counterintuitive. They really are raising this kid to be normal.
