Ever since the birth of Prince George (3), all eyes have been on the cute royal tot.

The three-year-old is rarely seen in trousers and, according to an etiquette expert, there's a very interesting reason behind it.

Etiquette expert and MailOnline columnist, William Hanson, claims that shorts on young boys are, in fact, a silent British class marker and trousers are deemed "suburban", which no self-respecting royal would want to be considered.
