Prince George is the image of his great-grandfather, John Spencer, in an unearthed photo shared by his great-uncle, Charles Spencer.
The Earl, 60, took to his Instagram account to share the throwback black-and-white snap, which shows his father clad in military uniform in the 1950s.
Captioning the photo, he wrote: "My father, in military mode, 70 years ago. #scotsgreys #royalscotsgreys #1950s #blackandwhitephotography."
Eager royal fans quickly made the comparison between Charles' father—George's great-grandfather—and the future king. "Prince George looks a lot like him," one penned in the comments section.

Other fans saw similarities between Prince Harry and his grandfather. "I can see Harry in his Grandpa," one added, alongside a red love heart emoji.

Last week, Charles shared a touching tribute to his brother-in-law, Lord Robert Fellowes, who died aged 82. Lord Fellowes married Charles' sister Jane in 1978.

Charles wrote: "My absolutely exceptional brother-in-law, Robert, is no longer with us. A total gentleman—in all the best meanings of that word—he was a man of humor, wisdom, and utter integrity. I'm deeply proud to have been his brother-in-law."
Robert was one of the late Queen Elizabeth II's courtiers, navigating her through her "annus horribilis" in 1992 when three of the Queen's children got divorced, and when a fire broke out at Windsor Castle.
Lord Fellowes was working for the Queen when Princess Diana, his sister-in-law, died, and he was part of the small team that advised the Queen to return to London from Balmoral.
