Royal fans were struck by the strong resemblance between the Cambridge children and their parents in a video released over the weekend.
Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two, appeared on camera to ask Sir David Attenborough their burning wildlife questions in a clip shared by Kensington Palace.
Delighted royal fans were quick to note how much Charlotte takes after her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, while others said George is becoming his father Prince William‘s ‘mini me’.
Daddy’s double: Royal fans were struck by the strong resemblance between the Cambridge children and their parents. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back – a stance often adopted by his father and grandfather Prince Charles – George (left) looked just like William
Family resemblance! Royal fans took to Instagram to share their delight at the similarities
Responding to royal fan account teatimewiththecambridges, one Instagram user posted: ‘George is becoming a mini William, even in the way he talks and carries himself.’
Another wrote: ‘George is so William when we talks and Charlotte sound exactly like Kate but her gestures are so Diana!!’
A third observed: ‘I’ve never thought George looked that much like William but when he talks… wow! He has his mannerisms!’
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge filmed their three children in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
Mummy’s mini me: Charlotte looked off camera and held her hands in front of her – just like mother Kate (right) – as she asked Sir David: ‘Hello David Attenborough, I like spiders, do you like spiders too?’ Viewers also noted how much her voice sounded like her mother’s
Growing up! Several fans noted how mature George and Charlotte seemed in the video
Standing with his hands clasped behind his back – a stance often adopted by his father and grandfather Prince Charles – George looked just like William as he confidently asked: ‘Hello David Attenborough, what animal do you think will become extinct next?’
He was followed by his sister Charlotte, who looked off camera and held her hands in front of her – just like mother Kate – as she asked Sir David: ‘Hello David Attenborough, I like spiders, do you like spiders too?’
Viewers were also struck by how much the five-year-old’s voice sounded like her mother’s.
Louis’ debut: The clip also marked the first time Prince Louis, who is two-and-a-half, has been heard talking on camera. He half-shouted as he asked: ‘What animal do you like?’

The three children join a host of famous faces – including David Beckham, Billie Eilish and Dame Judi Dench – who have also quizzed Sir David to mark the launch of his film David Attenborough: A Life on This Planet.
According to royal correspondent Emily Nash at Hello! magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s children recorded their questions for the veteran broadcaster before they met him in person last month.
Sir David joined Prince William to watch the film – which is about the veteran broadcaster’s 70-year career as a conservationist and the environmental crisis facing the planet – in the garden at Kensington Palace.
Socially distanced in the open air, the Duke of Cambridge and Sir David were offered directors’ chairs with their names printed on the back – but as a joke they sat in each other’s seats.
The pair then watched the 80-minute film, and Sir David gave the Prince a copy of the accompanying book.
After the screening, the naturalist received a reception worthy of the hottest Tinseltown star from three eager young fans, Princes George, Louis and Princess Charlotte, five.
He presented George, seven, with a tooth from an extinct giant shark, which lived 23 million years ago, which he had found on a family holiday to Malta in the late 1960s.
