Prince George and Prince William are so similar – in more ways than one!
Ever since he was first photographed just a couple of days after his birth, Prince George has captured the nation’s heart. We’ve swooned over his official photographs, chuckled at his cheeky expressions and mischievous ways, and had our hearts well as truly melted whenever he is snapped with his little sister!
He’s the apple of his parent’s eye, and as he gets older is starting to look a lot like his daddy! But it’s not just a sweep of blonde hair that Prince George has inherited from Prince William.
He’s growing up so fast! As Prince George arrived with the rest of his family for the royal visit to Poland in July 2017, he couldn’t help remind us of an equally shy and cautious young Prince William – keeping his eye on the watching crowds with his mum Princess Diana in 1985.
Overwhelmed by the waiting press and strangers wanting to meet him, Prince George required a little pep-talk from dad William before walking reluctantly down the red carpet with mum Kate and little sister Princess Charlotte by his side.
Prince George turns four this weekend, and is due to start school in September. The photos of George on his first day at school are sure to be reminiscent of Prince William’s firsts days at school, as father and son are booming more alike each day.
Father and son are alike in more ways than one, so here we look at the many ways that the little Prince takes after his dad in a gorgeous series of photos of Prince George and Prince William…
His Royal ‘Shy-ness’
He’s growing up so fast! As Prince George arrived with the rest of his family for the royal visit to Poland in July 2017, he couldn’t help remind us of an equally shy and cautious young Prince William – keeping his eye on the watching crowds with his mum Princess Diana in 1985.
Overwhelmed by the waiting press, photographers and strangers wanting to meet him, Prince George required a little pep-talk from dad William before walking reluctantly down the red carpet with mum Kate and little sister Princess Charlotte by his side.
Prince George is almost four, and as with any little boy forced to dress in smart clothes during the heat – he wasn’t too happy about it! It reminds us of a similarly fed up looking Prince William back in 1988…
Prince George recreated a classic photo of Prince William while attending Trooping the Colour with the rest of the royal family. While the royals smiled and waved at the crowds on the Queen’s official 91st birthday, Prince George looked less than impressed that he had to attend the huge public spectacle. He soon cheered up when the Red Arrows flew past Buckingham Palace though – as we know, the young royal loves planes!
Just like his dad, Prince George seems to be developing an interest in flying and planes at an early age!
Back in 1986, Prince Andrew has to keep a watchful eye on his then three-year-old nephew Prince William, who was keen to take the controls of his uncle’s helicopter. Fast forward to 2016, and Prince William help his son Prince George up into the cockpit of an RAF Arrow aircraft, during a visit to the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. We wonder if Prince George will grow up to become a pilot like his dad?
How about the time that both little Princes captured the world’s heart with their super cute smiles and smart blue and white outfits? It looks like Kate borrowed some inspiration from Diana when dressing George for his cute first picture with his sister!
Then there was the time that George literally stole his dad’s style for Princess Charlotte’s christening! He wore a near identical outfit to Prince William when he went to meet Prince Harry for the first time in hospital in 1984! They have matching expressions to match their identical outfits too!
George has learnt from his dad how to take ADORABLE official photographs. We just can’t stop looking at these two – too cute!
Prince Charles took William to meet Harry at the Lindo Wing back in 1984, then William took George to meet Princess Charlotte at the same hospital back in May.
Here’s William and Charles on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s birthday back in 1984, and then William holding George in 2015 on that very same balcony at the same occasion!
George takes after his daddy and is an adventurous little boy who loves exploring the outdoors – but that means he’s prone to getting into a few scrapes and needs mum on hand to look out for him!
Speaking recently in an interview with Sky News, Prince Charles revealed that his eldest grandchild has a, “natural and instinctive” attachment to the great outdoors, and absolutely. “loves being outside” – another way that Prince George and Prince William are alike! Just like his dad and his grandpa, Prince George seems to love nature, with Prince Charles going on to reveal about his two-year-old grandson, “It’s very interesting. I’m intrigued to see if it lasts. But he loves being outside, which is encouraging. Like all these things, it depends if you can get them to take an interest.”
When you’re way more interested in the toy that mummy is holding then all the cameras pointing at you…
Prince George was keen to get walking as soon as possible just like Prince William – but both boys needed a helping hand from their mums!
George has inherited his daddy’s ‘thinking’ face. Perhaps they are both wondering why there are hundreds of people looking at them?!
