Prince George celebrates his 12th birthday today (Tuesday, July 22) and as he grows up, fans are now noticing how similar he looks to another member of the Royal Family
Fans are pointing out Prince George’s resemblance to his relatives. The young royal turns 12 today (Tuesday, July 22) and has already grown up a lot since Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed him into the world.
George has quickly become one of the most well-liked members of the Royal Family, despite his young age – and he has even begun carrying out royal duties alongside his parents and other members of the Firm. Now, admirers have pointed out George bears an uncanny resemblance to several members of the Spencer family. Princess Diana – born Diana Frances Spencer – is George’s paternal grandmother, and some people believe he looks just like her.
Taking to TikTok, a fan compiled images of George next to other Spencers, proving it’s not just Diana the prince resembles.
The video showed side-by-side comparisons of Prince George and his relatives, including his great-grandfather, John Spencer; his great-uncle, Charles Spencer; and Charles’ son, Louis Spencer.
“You can even see his Granny Diana in him,” the video read, followed by a heart emoji.
Taking to the comments, one person wrote: “He could pass as Charles Spencer son or young Charles Spencer.”
Another added: “I can more see Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother.”
However, others disagreed. One person wrote: “Am I the only one that doesn’t see Charles Spencer in him,” followed by a crying emoji. “I think he looks more like Diana.”
“I’ve always said Prince George reminds me of Dianas’s [sic] father the Earl – first time anyone agreed with me.”
Others were quick to point out that George also had features from his mother, Kate Middleton. “He has brown eyes from his mother,” one person said. “The Spencer’s [sic] are blue eyed.”
“I think George looks like his dad, Charlotte looks like Queen Elizabeth & Louis looks like his maternal grandfather,” someone else pointed out.
George was born at St Mary’s Hospital, London, on July 22, 2013. He spent the first few months of his life in Anglesey, Wales, before his parents – then the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – relocated to Kensington Palace in 2014.
He completed his first official tour with his family in April of that year, which saw the young royal family spend three weeks in Australia and New Zealand.
George has been fully immersed in royal life ever since, setting an example for siblings Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
Earlier this month, George’s parents welcomed Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron to the UK for a state visit.
In a subtle nod to her visitors’ home country, the Princess of Wales sported a stunning outfit by French fashion house Christian Dior and a hat by Jess Collett.
The Christian Dior jacket is the 30 Montaigne Rose Des Vents Bar Jacket and a piece from the 2024 collection. It was reimagined by Maria Grazia Chiuri, who was inspired by the original first created in 1947 by Christian Dior himself.
