However, while examining royal photos after the unfortunate passing of the Duke of Edinburgh back in April, Hello magazine noticed that the Duke of Sussex also bears an uncanny resemblance to the late Prince Philip.
An uncanny resemblance
According to the magazine, 'photos of a young Philip reveal a striking similarity between grandfather and grandson.' The two royals share the the same piercing eyes, strong brow, slender nose, and thin lips.
Apparently, the resemblance is absolutely unquestionable if you compare Prince Harry along side pictures of the Duke of Edinburgh from when he was in his teens. They share the same mannerisms and expressions! Not to mention, when Prince Philip was 21 years old, he grew out a full beard and we can't help but notice how alike the two royals look.
Not only do the grandfather and grandson duo look similar, they also have similar life paths. Like Prince Philip, Prince Harry has a strong military career. He served in the armed forces for ten years and was deployed to Afghanistan twice.
