Figure 1.--Prince Harry and William here wear matching outfits. Notice the long shorts with cuffs. For some reason the boys are not wearing belts..

Harry wore short pants as a younger boy, often being dressed just like his older brother. Princess Dianna seemns to have liked to dress them identically. On occasions the boys would appear in dressy outfits including white knee socks and Mary Jane strap shoes. Harry and William wore rather long shorts for the 1980s, some with cuffs. More like the shorts French boys were wearing than the shorts commonly being worn by British boys at the time. We note that some of them were blue. More commonly they they appeared in play shorts. Princess Diana seems to have preferred bright colored clothes for them. Both Harry and William wore a short pants school uniform with ankle socks at their pre-prep school, but long trousers at their preparatory school. Unlike past generation of British royals, Prince Hrry and his brother did not wear kilts. I have not noted either of them as younger boys wearing kilts and as older boys they reprtedly objected to wearing them. They prefferd casual clothes like jeans. Dressing up as older boys both Harry and william normally wore blazers or tweed jackets with grey trousers.
