PRINCE WILLIAM has three adorable children with his wife, the Princess of Wales, and fans can’t help but point out how similar the royals look to childhood pictures of their father.
The heir to the UK throne is eldest son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana and, thanks to him being in the spotlight right from his birth, we are able to track just how much Prince William has changed since he was a child – and how his old pictures compare to those of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
What did Prince William look like when he was a child?
King Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales welcomed their first child together, Prince William, on June 21, 1982.
The future king had many features of his mother when he was born, boasting blonde hair, blue eyes and rosy cheeks.
Many royal family fans have spotted that William’s childhood pictures look uncannily like those of his own first-born, Prince George, and second child, Princess Charlotte.
The Prince’s third child, son Louis, looks more similar to his wife Kate Middleton – a fact the Princess of Wales is said to “love”.
A friend told the People in 2020: “Everyone always comments on how Louis is the spitting image of Kate.
“She loves it and thinks it’s very sweet, she often jokes that he’s the only one of her kids who actually looks like her!”
As William entered his late teens and early 20s, he could truly turn heads – and not just because of his royal status.
Prince William had a full head of blonde hair as a child and teen, though in his twenties, signs that his har was thinning became apparent.
One of the first signs was spotted during a football match at the 2006 football World Cup.
How tall is Prince William?
Prince William is the tallest member of the royal family at 6ft 3 (1.91m).
Many fans have predicted that his son Prince George, born in 2013, might one day outgrow him as the heir already stands around 4ft tall.
The record for the tallest king is currently held by Edward IV.
He was said to be 6ft and 36 inches (1.94m), just beating William.
How old are Prince William and Kate’s children?
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge became parents for the first time when they welcomed their son Prince George in 2013.
He turns ten in July 2023.
Just a few years later, they announced the arrival of their daughter Princess Charlotte.
She was born in May 2015 and turned eight in 2023.
The royal couple completed their family with the birth of Prince Louis in 2018.
He was born in April and turned five in 2023.
In August 2022, Kensington Palace announced that the three children would attend Lambrook School in Winkfield Row, Berkshire.
The children’s enrollment marked the first time all three young royals have attended the same school.
The boarding school is located just outside of Windsor, close to where the family live at Adelaide Cottage.
