There’s a reasonPrince Louis' shirt looks familiar in thenewly released photofeaturing Queen Elizabeth with some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
While there are lots of Easter eggs for royal fans to dissect — from the family photos on display in the background to the sweet way Mia Tindall holds her brother, Lucas, on her lap beside the Queen (who sports a tartan skirt) — there’s also another fashion find.
It’s no surprise that Kate, who frequentlyrecycles items from her royal closet, would dress her children in hand-me-down clothes — and it’s not the first time thatPrince Louishas been passed down pieces.
And when Prince Louis and his siblings met Sir David Attenborough in 2020,Louis wore a merino wool jumperfrom Wild and Gorgeous, the same one thatPrince Georgewore during the family’s 2016 tour of Canada (before Louis came along!).
Prince Louis' royal rewears even go back to the previous generation. At Trooping the Colour in June, the young prince appeared on the palace balcony (and for hiscarriage debut!) in a mini sailor suit that his father,Prince William, wore 37 years prior for the same occasion.

Prince Louishad a fashion first when he made hisEaster debutalongside the royal family earlier this month. Although Louis stuck to the classic look for upper-class boys in Britain, shorts with knee socks, he alsosported a tie and blazerfirst the first time.
“This was the first time we saw his little brother Louis wear a blazer and tie in public, and the fact that the Princess of Wales chose sky blue rather than navy made the outfit more fun and age-appropriate,” Rachel Riley, the British children’s wear designer behindPrince Louis' shorts,told PEOPLE. “He also matched perfectly with his mother and sister, something which he can still do as the youngest sibling.”
