If ever there were two peas in a cute little royal pod, it’s Prince William and his 10-year-old son, Prince George.
These two just seemed destined to be best friends from the moment the oldest of the Wales kids was born, simply because they have so much in common.

The young prince’s timid nature has drawn comparisons to his great-great-grandfather, King George VI, after whom he was named.
Some royal fans even see this resemblance as a sign of Prince George’s future ruling qualities.
