George finally graduates to long trousers! Kate ditches the Prince's signature shorts for the FIRST time in an official portrait,
He's known for his adorable trademark shorts, but Prince George finally got to wear long trousers today for the first time in an official portrait.
The young royal, five, was pictured perched on a tree trunk in woodland at Anmer Hall,
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Norfolk home in a gorgeous new family portrait released for Christmas.
The youngster wore a pair of blue-grey chinos tucked into wellies for the snap, as he playfully leaned on one leg,
holding his father Prince William's shoulder's for support.
It was the first time George has worn long trousers for an official portrait, or even been seen in them publicly,
aside from when he acted as a Page Boy for Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie's weddings.
George and his fellow pageboys wore miniature versions of the Blues and Royals frockcoat,
similar to the uniforms worn by Harry and William on the big day, complete with long trousers.
Since he's been old enough to walk, George has worn shorts in all the official portraits taken to mark milestones such as his birthday or the Queen's 90th birthday.
He's also been wearing shorts in pictures taken in his school uniform,
and when he's accompanied his parents on overseas tours to Poland, Germany and Canada.
Previously, MailOnline's etiquette William Hanson told Femail that Kate put her son exclusively in shorts as it's an aristocratic way to dress.
He claimed 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.
'The Duchess of Cambridge has to dress her own children and find a balance between royal tradition and heritage and more proletariat customs,
such as the "suburban" habit of making young boys wear trousers,' he explained.
'Although I don't really think that the sartorial rule of shorts for young boys would be a new one for Catherine.
'I would suspect that her own mother and mother's friends knew this,
as more well-heeled middle class mothers do - and dressed their own boys accordingly'.
Princess Charlotte, three, also made a fashion statement in the newly released image,
wearing a navy blue cardigan that belonged to her five-year-old brother Prince George.
The £48 knitted number by royal favourite Fina Ejerique was seen on George in the family portrait released to celebrate his grandmother the Queen's 90th birthday in 2016.
Tomboy Charlotte also wore the cardigan in a sweet photo of her kissing newborn Prince Louis shortly after his birth this year.
The button down top features a white nordic pattern around the neckline.
The Cambridge photo shows the Duchess of Cambridge cradling baby Louis - who is now almost eight months old,
as she rests against a tree trunk in woodland at their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk with the Duke of Cambridge.
Three-year-old Charlotte stands on the trunk with her arms around her parents' shoulders,
while five-year-old George playfully holds on to his father as he stands one-legged in wellies on the trunk.
Mother like daughter! Kate reveals one thing Princess Charlotte loves.
Kate revealed Princess Charlotte has followed in her footsteps in at least one thing – her love of arts and crafts.
The Duchess helped to make bead bracelets, revealing that adorable Charlotte, three, would enjoy the activity.
Kate said: "Charlotte would love making these".
Charlotte clearly takes after her mother with her talent for arts and crafts.
As William was cutting out an E for a Welcome To Xmas Dinner sign, he joked that Kate is the "artsy one".
William said: "My son knows I'm useless at this, Catherine is the artsy one".
Earlier in the day, Kate and William visited Evelina London Children's Hospital following the announcement the Duchess was to become its new patron.
Kate stunned in a green and white polka dot LK Bennett dress for the day of engagements.
It comes as Kate and William released their Christmas card for this year.
The family are posing by a tree trunk in the snap which was taken at their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk.
Charlotte takes centre stage in the picture, with the three-year-old standing between William and Kate.
The Duchess is holding a smiling Prince Louis - who was born in April - as she sits on the tree trunk.
And Prince George looks cheeky as he balances on one leg with his hands on William's shoulders.
Sharing the picture on Twitter, Kensington Palace said:
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family.
"The photograph, taken by Matt Porteous, shows The Duke and Duchess with their three children at Anmer Hall,
and features on Their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card this year".
And royal fans reacted with delight to the lovely picture.
One said: "What a natural, beautiful, family photo".
Another added: "They have such beautiful children. Merry Christmas to them all!"
A third wrote: "OMG! Prince Louis is so adorable! Princess Diana would be so proud and would be having so much fun with her grandchildren.
You have a beautiful family William and Kate!"

as he took the wedding pictures of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's nuptials in 2011
and Charles and Camilla's big day in 2005.
Royal children: Are George, Charlotte and Louis more Windsor or Middleton?
The Cambridge family clan has grown in the last five years, and Kate and William now have three children to look after,
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but who do the children look like the most, his mum, Kate or dad, William?
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are said to resemble certain members of the royal family,
most notably the Queen and Princess Diana. But out of their parents, who do the siblings look like the most?
Prince George.
The eldest of the couple's children, there has been speculation over who the five-year-old looks like the most.
Many have said he bares a striking resemblance to his dad Prince William at his age, as they share similar features.
But others have commented he looks more like Kate's father, Michael Middleton,
as George has the same eyes, Middleton nose and smile as his grandfather.
While people have noticed he has some similarities to the Queen at his age, such as the blonde hair and fair eyebrows.
And others have drawn connections to Princess Diana, one fan wrote on a photo released to mark his fifth birthday:
"Prince George is adorable. I see Princess Diana in his beaming face!"
"I think it's just the same lips and same smile as Diana," one commentator wrote.
Princess Charlotte.
People have said Charlotte looks similar to her mother, Kate, as well as the Queen when she was a baby.
Charlotte's big blue eyes do resemble the Queen's as do her arches eyebrows and light brow.
Some fans have also noticed a similarity between Princess Charlotte
and Princess Diana when their two photographs are put side by side as they share identical facial features.
Especially in the latest Christmas card issued by the Cambridge family, where her eyes,
lips and button nose shares similarities to a young Diana.
And some have also noted a resemblance to the Queen mother's facial features as well, along with her smile.
Princess Louis.
As Prince Louis is only eight-months-old it is difficult to know who the youngest member of the Cambridge family looks like the most.
The tiny royal does show some resemblance to Prince William, especially in christening pictures taken earlier this year of the tot.
But Louis seems to get his chubby cheeks from the Duchess of Cambridge.
And bares a striking resemblance to his mother at roughly the same age.
Although he also looks rather similar to his older brother, Prince George will his full cheeks and button nose,
so perhaps we will see some Princess Diana resemblance in a few years as well.
