The message behind the Cambridge children's new clothes

The Cambridges celebrated Prince William's birthday this weekend by releasing some adorable family photos, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge at their Anmer Hall home during the lockdown.

One portrait shows them posing nicely on a swing in the garden of the Norfolk property, while another set of pictures shows the children wrestling on the ground.

While these photos prove that despite being royals, they're a normal family having fun in the garden, some experts are saying that Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte's clothes further prove that point.

Princess Charlotte is wearing a pair of embroidered denim dungarees from John Lewis (sadly sold out), and a striped t-shirt by GAP. Meanwhile, Prince George is wearing an H&M khaki t-shirt, which he was seen wearing last summer. Prince Louis is also wearing a GAP t-shirt.

According to the experts, this shows that, like their mother, just because the children are royals doesn't mean they need to wear designer clothes, thus making them more relatable.

Prince George is also seen to be adopting his mother's sustainable credentials by re-wearing clothes and avoiding waste.

Either way, they all look lovely as always.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
