The third-in-line to the British throne did have a subtle complaint to his dad after the Duke of Cambridge asked him how their journey across South London.
While Prince William strokes his son's hair, the eight-year-old crinkled his face and quietly blurted: "It's too hot."Â

Expressing concern, Prince William then replied: "Oh you're hot, are you? It's very warm today, but it will be fine."
The Duchess of Cambridge was also heard telling her son: "You have to feel for the people sitting in the bright sunshine. We're quite often sitting in the shade."
The young royal pulled faces during the match, giving us some Prince Louis moments. He was also seen wiping his head. At one point, Kate also placed her hand on her son's face. George was also spotted drinking out of a grey cup.
The posh navy suit of Prince George attracted some frenzy reactions from royal fans across the social media, sympathizing with the young prince's obvious "agony",  sitting in the Royal Box wearing a suit amidst London's heatwave.
One Twitter user said: "Poor Prince George wearing a suit to Centre Court on a hot day. Another added: "Prince George looks very smart but could he not have been dressed more casually as it’s so hot?!"
So why did the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge let their son wear a suit and tie despite the hot temperature in London that day?Â
While royal fans' suggestions to let the young prince wear comfortable clothing and shoes during the Wimbledon Championships sound nice and sympathizing, it could not be possible.

Prince George's outfit had to do with Wimbledon's strict dress code for spectators sitting in the Royal Box. Anyone who will occupy a seat in the Royal Box at Centre Court must adhere to the dress code.Â
Men are required to wear a jacket or a suit and tie, and shoes. Women are required to wear a smart dress but no hats, according to the dress code of Wimbledon.
Despite his young age, Prince George has been dressing like a young man already in recent public events attended by the royal family. The Duchess of Cambridge is reportedly the one who insists on George wearing a suit and tie.
Referencing the royal's formal attire at the Euros final last year, expert Duncan Larcombe previously told Ok!: "She (Kate) was showing George that being ’on duty’ requires a different approach. He has to learn to don the royal armor."
Prince George appeared to have enjoyed the spectacles at the Wimbledon Finals on Sunday, chatting with his parents all throughout the game.Â
He also witnessed the epic third set where Nick Kyrgios hollered to the crowd and implored the umpire to remove the woman who distracted him.
The Cambridges later met champion, Novak Djokovic, who let Prince George hold the coveted trophy. "Don't drop it," Prince William was heard telling his son, with a laugh.
Prince George was thrilled to meet his favorite tennis player. Before the game, he was asked by military personnel if it was his first visit to Wimbledon. Kate replied: "It's George's treat today."
Some members of the Armed Forces then asked the youngster who he supported. After a careful pause for thought, Prince George replied: "Djokovic."
Despite the inconveniences due to the hot weather, Prince George looked dapper in his posh blue suit and tie. His dad, Prince William, opted for a tan blazer with blue pants and a blue tie, accessorizing with sunglasses.

The Duchess of Cambridge sported a navy blue and white polka dot dress from her go-to-designer, Alessandra Rich. The second polka-dot dress from the same designer she donned during the Wimbledon Championships this year.
The finishing touch on Kate's outfit was an exclusive accessory: the green and purple bow tie pin, signifying her status as a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club. The club's official colors are dark green and purple.

Etiquette and Dress Code at Wimbledon
Wimbledon Championships players are required to wear all white, including caps and shoes. However, there is no particular dress code to be strictly followed by the spectators, but dressing smartly is encouraged.Â
But there's a strict dress code if you are sitting in the Royal Box at the Centre Court or Court Number One. Men need to wear a jacket or suit/tie, while women should wear a smart dress but no hats.Â
However, during hot temperatures, men and women are allowed to don a hat to protect themselves from extreme weather conditions, provided the hats would not obstruct someone's view.
Cheering or yelling in the middle of rallies or if players are serving, are strictly prohibited as it is distracting to the players and everyone.Â
Wait till the point has been played, then yell as loudly as you like. That's the reason why Nick Kyrgious complained during the crucial match on Sunday, July 10, when a woman in polka-dots cheered him loudly.
Spectators can only leave their seat – for a loo break or whatever – after the third game of a set, to begin with, and then when the players change sides, every two games, after that.
You won't be able to return to it until those times either, so best hold back on that Pimms until after the match, if you don't wish to miss any crucial moments.
You can bring food or buy snacks inside the Wimbledon grounds. But usually, spectators just eat strawberries and cream.
Alcohol is allowed but there's a limit. Just one bottle of wine or Champagne (750ml) or two cans of beer (500ml) or two cans of premixed aperitifs (like, Pimms) per person. Bottles of spirits are prohibited though, so a straight bottle of Pimms is a no-no.
Glasses may not be used on the show courts and all corked bottles, including champagne and sparkling wine, must be opened before you go into the stands. Flasks are not allowed either. And neither are travel mugs or opaque bottles.
The Winner
Novak Djokovic of Serbia defeated Nick Kyrgios of Australia, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) in the Wimbledon 2022 final on Sunday, July 10. This is Novak's seventh Wimbledon title, and fourth consecutive.

This was also his 21st major title, which puts him within one trophy of Rafael Nadal's record of 22. At 35 years, 49 days, Djokovic is now the second oldest player to win the Wimbledon men's title in the Open Era. Roger Federer's win in 2017 still makes the Swiss veteran the oldest.
"I've lost words for what this tournament and what this trophy means to me. It always has been the most special tournament. It was the one that motivated me to play tennis. Every time this tournament gets more special and meaningful," said Djokovic as posted on Wimbledon website.
