The Duke and Duchess had two sons, Prince William of Gloucester (1941-1972) and Prince Richard of Gloucester (1944- ). Richard was born at Northampton, he was christened Richard Alexander Walter George. The boys were to Australia, where for 2 years (1945-47) their father was Governor-General. We do not know a great deal about their clothing. Prince William and Prince Richard when they were young wore kilts in public more often than not. For frmal occasions they commonly wore them with white ankle socks and formal patent leather strap shoes. We note them wearing wjite anklets rather than white knee socks. Prince William died in a tragic airplane crash without a heir. As a result, Richard is now the Duke of Gloucester. He succeeded his father in June 1974.
