‘I think she got satisfaction dressing us in weird shorts ... I’ll dress my kids the same way!’
DIANA had something of a penchant for dressing her sons in strange clothes – a trait Harry now ascribes to her wicked sense of humour.
‘I genuinely think she got satisfaction out of dressing me and William in the most bizarre outfits – normally matching,’ he says.
‘It was weird shorts, and little shiny shoes with the old clip-on. Looking back at the photos, it just makes me laugh – I just think: “How could you do that to us?”’
He says the fashion choices are the ‘one thing I would love to ask her [about] now,’ and admits he only began to object after William did. ‘We got to the age when William would turn round and go, “Oh, this is ridiculous, you know, I’m the older brother, why do I have to be dressed the same as him?” And I’m sitting there going, “Hang on a second, if you’re going to dress differently I’m not going to be the only person dressed like this; this is just ridiculous!”
‘So I like to think she had great fun in dressing us up. I’m sure that wasn’t it, but I sure as hell am going to dress my kids the same way!’
Judging by George and Charlotte’s outfits, it seems William feels the same...
