The moment he was born, the internet went into full meltdown. Was he a mini William? A clone of Kate? Or a ghostly reincarnation of the Queen Mum?
Spoiler alert: he looks like a confused loaf of bread for the first few months—most babies do. But as he’s grown, the comparisons have become a hilarious national sport.
Let’s break down the evidence, shall we? Grab a cuppa, because this gets weird.
The “Spitting Image” of William… But With a Twist
First, the obvious candidate: his dad, Prince William. If you squint, they have the same slightly worried expression, as if they’re both wondering if the corgis have eaten the scones again.
But here’s the kicker: George is actually a dead ringer for a very specific version of William. Not the modern, balding helicopter pilot. No, George looks like William from the Baby Gap era—that specific 1985 photo where William has strawberry blonde hair and looks like he’s about to cry.
It’s almost spooky. You can see the same cheekbones and that royal “I tolerate your bowing” chin. But hold your horses—it’s not that simple.
The Middleton Invasion: Genes Are Ruthless
Now, let’s talk about the Middleton side of the family. If you thought royal genes were strong, the Carpenters laugh in your face. That’s Kate’s maiden name, by the way—yes, they’re the Carpenters, a detail that sounds like a 1970s folk band.
George has Kate’s broad smile, her almond-shaped eyes, and—according to royal experts who have too much time on their hands—her exact earlobes. Earlobes, people!
Prince George: Does He Look More Like Kate Middleton or Prince William
But the most shocking doppelgänger isn’t William or Kate. It’s Michael Middleton, Kate’s dad. Yes, the grandfather. In certain photos, George looks like a tiny, blonde version of a retired British Airways flight dispatcher. It’s adorable and terrifying.
The Royal Ghosts: Princess Diana and the Queen
Okay, fasten your seatbelts. Some photos show George with the haunting blue eyes of Princess Diana. It’s true. When he looks up with that shy, side-eye glance, my heart breaks a little.
And then there’s the Queen Elizabeth II. I know, I know, she’s a great-grandmother. But if you look at a side-by-side of George and a young Princess Elizabeth in the 1940s, you’ll see the same reserved smirk and the same “I am amused, peasant” eyebrow arch.
It’s like the royal family is playing a genetic lottery with only three numbers: William, Kate, and the late Queen.
A Surprising Fact That Will Blow Your Mind
Here’s a weird one that the tabloids missed: Prince George has a very specific facial muscle structure that scientists call the “nasolabial fold.” Fancy term, I know. But this fold is nearly identical to his great-great-grandfather, King George V.
Wait, wait—that’s boring. Let’s try again. Did you know that Prince George’s ears are genetically identical to King Charles’s? Yep, the same cauliflower-ish protrusions that have funded a million royal cartoonists.
Who does Prince George look like: This photo reveals his uncanny
So, the answer to “Who does he look like?” is: everyone. He’s a walking historical archive of the British monarchy, but with better hair.
