Wimbledon fans concerned for fully suited Prince George in 30C heat

Prince George appeared to be enjoying himself watching the Wimbledon final on Centre Court yesterday despite concerns over the heat.

Temperatures soared to 30C in south west London this afternoon as Novak Djokovic beat Nick Kyrgios in a four-set thriller. The eight-year-old prince watched the final alongside his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

But while Kyrgios and Djokovic battled it out on the tennis court, Royal family fans were concerned for Prince George as he donned a full suit in the stands, reports the Mirror Online.

The UK is in the middle of a heatwave with some experts predicting that the UK could see temperatures reach the dizzy heights of 40C during July. This has left many wondering why young George was dressed in a full suit.

Both George and his dad donned a full suit to the men's final today despite high temperatures throughout the afternoon. The temperatures are set to sit at sweltering levels until well into the evening.

One concerned woman wrote on Twitter: "Poor child having to wear a suit in this hot weather." Another added: "Poor Prince George in a shirt, tie and jacket in that stifling heat. Couldn't they let the kid wear a T-shirt?"

A third chimed in: "Why do they dress him in a suit and tie and in this heat. He's a boy, not a grown up." A fourth said: "How ridiculous Prince George in a dark suit and tie in this heat at Wimbledon."

Another asked if it wouldn't be more sensible to let him take his jacket off, writing: "Poor Prince George having to wear a suit in this weather. At least let him take the jacket off."

Another said: "Poor Prince George, he must be boiling in that suit."

One said it was a wider issue, saying: "Please don't force George, or any man or boy to wear jackets in the heat. It's ridiculous and uncomfortable.

"Also, please sort out a scoring system so matches don't go on forever. Both BBC One and BBC Two have tennis on, and those who wanted to watch other programmes keep having them cancelled or postponed."
