"We can't believe Prince George wore our robe to meet President Obama! Doesn't he look adorable?!" the company wrote. "You guys have gone crazy for it & it's already sold out."
Following its overnight success, the company opened a round of pre-orders for the item known as "Prince's Personalised Gingham Robe," which features gingham trim and can be personalized with up to 12 characters of embroidery for free.
