Prince William Posed for Pics at Latest Outing—But Something Very Striking Caught My Eye

In the past, I’ve written about how much 10-year-old Prince George resembles his dad, Prince William . (You can’t tell me the young royal doesn’t look like the spitting image of the future monarch whenever they’re spotted out and about in their matching blue suits .) But I need to talk about the striking resemblance between the Prince of Wales and his dad, King Charles , whenever they smile.

Take these two photos below for example. The royal father-son duo are both cheesing from ear to ear. The photo on the right shows Prince William smiling while he talks to RAF personnel during his visit to RAF Valley on July 9 (where he also showed off his go-to parenting move .) And on the left is a snap of His Royal Highness smiling widely in front of a cake (that his wife, Queen Camilla , helped him cut ) baked by British Bake Off winner Peter Sawkins during the 900th-anniversary celebration of the City of Edinburgh at Edinburgh Castle on July 3.

These pics, in particular, instantly caught my eye because they show the striking similarity in how Prince Will and his dad love to laugh and smile in a genuine manner during a royal outing. And not only that, but they both smile in a way that is almost identical; for example, the father-son duo have the same smile lines and they smile with their whole face (i.e. the mouth, cheeks and eyes).

Here are two more photos (taken during the same events I mentioned above) that show just how much Prince William and his dad resemble each other whenever they smile and laugh. Case in point: Both of their eyes shine bright and they smile wide with their mouth, revealing their teeth:

They are so alike and it really shows.
