According to People, Princess Charlotte is said to have her own version of the sleepwear ensemble but with pale pink gingham trim and embroidery.

Online British retailer My 1st Years are the creators of the royally cute piece, which costs 27 pounds (about $50), and they couldn’t be more thrilled by George’s endorsement.

George is a fashion icon!

“We can’t believe Prince George wore our robe to meet President Obama! Doesn’t he look adorable?!” read a message posted on the store’s Facebook page.

“You guys have gone crazy for it & it’s already sold out, but you can find your very own personalized royal robe.”

The cheeky little tyke also wore navy velvet Little Boston Plane Slippers from Trotters Childrenswear and Accessories.

The now sold out shoes, which were embroidered with red airplanes, cost only 12 pounds (about $23).

George looked adorable in a bespoke dressing gown with his name on it.

Look at me go! George showed off his rocking horse skills as Duchess Catherine proudly clapped him on. The toy was given to George from The Obamas when he was born.

The third in line to the throne was even allowed to stay up 15 minutes past his bedtime to meet Barack and Michelle.

During their visit, Prince George rode a rocking horse they gave him for his first birthday.

“Prince George stayed up to meet The President and First Lady when they arrived at Kensington Palace,” a Kensington Palace Spokesman said.

“He was able to show The President and First lady a rocking horse – given to George when he was born – and a stuffed toy – given to George when Princess Charlotte was born – that had been previously given to him by President and Mrs Obama.”

Prince George’s outfits always sell out! At his sister’s christening, the royal tyke was the spitting image of his dad, Prince William when he visited Prince Harry after he was born.
