Prince George was the spitting image of his father as the duo watched the FA Cup final on Saturday.
The young royal, 10, joined his father, Prince William, 41, to watch the final of the world’s oldest club tournament and present the FA Cup to winners Manchester United, who celebrated a 2-1 win over Manchester City yesterday afternoon.
The royal football fans looked dapper in matching navy blue suits, white shirts and striped ties as they watched the action between the two rivals on a warm Saturday.
Prince George was certainly dressed for the role, wearing an identical outfit to the Prince of Wales.
George has a long history of taking fashion inspiration from his father, with the royal family mirroring his father’s appearance since he was a young boy.

Yesterday, the 10-year-old swept his locks aside and opted for a crisp white shirt with a navy suit jacket, trousers and a striped tie.
In 2015, a shy Prince George arrived at Princess Charlotte’s christening in a nearly identical outfit to the one Prince William wore when he first met his newborn brother, Prince Harry, more than 30 years earlier.
George almost stole the show at his sister’s christening, looking adorable in a white shirt and red shorts.
Although the Prince of Wales’ white shirt had slightly more embroidery, George’s outfit, designed by Rachel Riley, was identical to William’s in every other respect.
The young royal continued to look to his father’s fashion style for outfits even later in life.
As he stepped off the plane hand-in-hand with Prince William in Warsaw in 2017, Prince George’s style bore an uncanny resemblance to that of his father as a child.
The little prince, who stayed close to his father as he descended the plane steps at Warsaw Chopin Airport in July that year, wore his signature navy blue shorts, paired with a checked shirt.
The look was not unlike the outfit his father wore when he stepped off a private plane at Aberdeen Airport for a family summer holiday in 1984, when the Duke of Cambridge was the same age as George is now.

In June 2022, Prince George was his father’s doppelgänger in a smart navy blue suit with matching brown shoes as he joined his parents for his first official engagement in Cardiff.
When he was eight years old, George met performers and crew involved in a special Platinum Jubilee Celebration Concert that took place in the castle grounds.
Prince George was certainly dressed for the role, wearing an identical outfit to his father, Prince William.
And last year rOyale fans were quick to notice the resemblance between Prince George and his father when a brand new photo was shared to mark his 10th birthday.
Traditionally, the photo was shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales on July 22 – and their eldest child looked more grown up than ever before.
George was dressed in a checked shirt – believed to be part of his school uniform – paired with chinos and brown suede lace-up brogues, which William also likes to see as a smart/casual look.
And yesterday, the royal father and son duo kept tradition alive by donning matching ensembles

Before kick-off, the Prince of Wales walked onto the pitch to cheers from the crowd where the two teams lined up.
Prince George could be seen standing and cheering in the stands as he celebrated the scores among delighted fans.
Beside them in the penalty area, Manchester United bosses Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Avram Glazer were cheering wildly alongside legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
