The apple does not fall far from the tree, especially in the case of Prince William and Prince George. It doesn’t take long for royal followers to catch the moments when the father-son duo were spotted dressing alike, but their similarities aren’t limited to their fashion choices. As we watch Prince George experience many royal ‘firsts’ – attending events, traveling to other countries, and taking the most relevant milestones (ahem, first day of school!) – there is some joy in it. to go back to the time when Prince William did the same.
To be royal is to carry on tradition, and the connective tissue between one generation and the next is essential to keeping royal customs alive. After all, Prince George is next to the throne after Prince William, and it’s never too early to start preparing him for the role.
Today, it’s fair to say that William passed many of his traits to the young royal. Below, check out all the times Prince George turned out to be Prince William’s mini-me.
