Prince George’s suit sparks fierce debate as royal fans beg ‘give him a break’
Prince George's appearance at the Wimbledon men's singles final sparked a heated Twitter debate among Royal Family fans.
George joined Prince William, Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte as the Waleses watched Carlos Alcaraz dispatch Novak Djokovic in London on Sunday (July 16).
Despite the captivating contest on the court, off it some people couldn't help but notice what the young royal was wearing.

Historian Dr Tessa Dunlop shared a clip of the coverage panning to George in the stands and tweeted: "Mum, 81, watching #wimbledon. ‘That poor little Prince George. Ridiculous to dress him in a suit and tie. What’s wrong with a t-shirt!?’"
Fellow historian Simon Schama tweeted in response: "So agree – give the little chap a tie break!" Another tweeted: "Agree it's mad."
Others, however, disagreed and thought George looked "classy" and "respectable". It was also suggested it would be strange for George to break the dress code of the royal box at Wimbledon.
One reply read: "It’s called having class. Plus they are in the royal box and he is the next King, likely emulating his dad who he looks up to. If he was uncomfortable, I’m sure he’d let his parents know."
Another said: "It's the Wimbledon final and he's showing respect to the players???"
While a third person wrote: "Royals have to follow their own set of decorum. Comes with the territory."
It comes just a couple of weeks after George's outfit sparked controversy while he watched the Ashes with William on a particularly sunny day.
One tweet at the time read: "Prince George needs some sunglasses, he is screwing up his eyes, sunshine is too strong."
Another commented: "They should get Prince George some sunglasses." While a third said: "Prince George needs to wear sunglasses as well as dad."
