7The Queen has become known for her bright and bold hats which she is often pictured wearing
while performing official engagements.
女王以其顏色鮮豔、設計大膽的帽子而聞名，她時常在參加官方活動時被拍到戴著這樣的 帽子。
8Dress code etiquette states that women wear hats for formal events, says Diana Mather, a senior
tutor for The English Manner etiquette consultancy.
英國禮儀諮詢公司資深導師戴安娜•馬瑟說，著裝禮儀守則規定女性在出席正式場合時要 戴帽子。
9"Up until the 1950s ladies were very seldom seen without a hat as it was not considered 'the
thing' for ladies to show their hair in public.
"20 世紀 50 年代以前，女士們出門基本都戴帽子，當時人們不覺得在公眾場合秀出頭髮是 流行時尚。
10"But all that has changed and hats are now reserved for more formal occasions."
11One of the Queen's hats became a hot topic on social media when she officially opened
Parliament last month.

13Why Prince George always wears shorts
為什麼喬治小王子總是穿短褲？
14Unlike many three-year-olds, Prince George has yet to be seen wearing a T-shirt of his favourite
TV character or even a pair of trousers.
和許多三歲小孩不同的是，人們從未見過喬治王子穿著印有他最愛電視角色的 T 恤，甚至 沒見過他穿長褲。
15Experts say this is because it is royal tradition for young princes and princesses to be formally
dressed when they are in public.
專家說，這是因為按照王室傳統，年輕的王子和公主在公眾場合中必須著正裝。
16Instead, Prince George is much more likely to wear a pair of smart shorts and a shirt.
不過，喬治王子穿得最多的是短褲和襯衫。
17Etiquette expert Grant Harrold, known as The Royal Butler, says the tradition dates back to the
times of breeching in the 16th Century.
號稱"王室管家"的禮儀專家格蘭特•哈樂德說，這個傳統可以追溯到 16 世紀的馬褲時代。
18He said: "This saw young boys wearing gowns or dresses until the age of eight, if not before.
他說："在那個年代甚至更早以前，小男孩八歲之前都要穿長袍或裙裝。
19"Thankfully in late 19th Century and early 20th Century this developed into shorts. This tradition
is carried on by the Royal Family to this very day."
