Eagle-eyed royal watchers have once again noticed the resemblance between Prince George and his father, Prince William.
It comes after the royal made an appearance at the Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham on December 25.
William attended the special annual event at the Norfolk estate with his wife, the Princess of Wales, 42, and their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.
Remarks about the resemblance between the Prince of Wales and his eldest son came after George wore a long coat to service, a style similar to what William sported at a similar age.
George, 10, put on the longer coat over his tie and dark trousers and a white shirt for the first time, after usually wearing a jacket to the annual event.
His appearance mirrored that of William in 1993, when, at age 11, he wore a longer formal coat (following the short, more casual jacket he had worn the previous year).
Royal fans have commented on numerous occasions how similar George looks to his father as a child.
Earlier this month, the future king, 10, joined his family for his mother Kate Middleton’s Together at Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey.
