Prince George boldly challenged palace protocol during a sacred ceremony, leaving senior royals stunned. The incident occurred when Prince George attended a formal state event where strict royal dress codes and behavioral rules apply.

Contrary to expectations, the young prince wore a casual robe and pajamas instead of formal attire, a move that broke the longstanding royal dress code tradition for such occasions.
This breach happened during a highly publicized event where heads of state and dignitaries were present. It was reminiscent of a similar moment years ago when Prince George also appeared in pajamas to meet former U.S. President Barack Obama,
sparking amusement and surprise. Senior royal family members were reportedly taken aback by George’s informal appearance, but the moment also demonstrated the modernizing influence his parents, William and Catherine, have on royal traditions.
While this was not a major protocol violation in terms of royal duties, it symbolized the younger generation’s more relaxed attitude toward rigid royal customs and hinted at the evolving culture within the monarchy as it adapts to contemporary expectations.​
