Prince George and King Charles reportedly share a close relationship, with the elder royal acting as a mentor to his grandson
rince George is following in the footsteps of his grandfather, King Charles, in more ways than one. The 12-year-old was pictured at the Trooping the Colour celebration over the weekend, looking sharp in a navy suit with a white button-up shirt and a baby blue tie to complete the look.
Fans couldn’t believe how similar George looked to both his grandfather and his great-grandfather, Prince Philip, in a photo taken at the royal event on Sunday, which saw him walking with one hand in his pocket.
In a post shared on social media, the snap of George was compared to Charles and Philip, who both walked with their right arms swinging by their side and their left hands in their pockets. The stride was dubbed the “Windsor Walk”, in reference to their Windsor lineage. “Prince George is like a mirror,” one commenter wrote, while another added: “Indeed he does [share his gait].”

George looked so similar to both his grandfather and his great-grandfather, Prince Philip
Social media users are not the first to notice the eerie similarities between Charles and George. In a clip filmed for the BBC documentary Elizabeth at 90 – A Family Tribute, George’s uncle, Prince Harry, noticed that the king “walks like George…or George walks like him. It’s the purpose to the walk.” George’s father, Prince William, readily agreed, saying: “He does walk like George.”
King Charles and Prince George share a close bond, and the elder royal will act as a kind of mentor to the future king as he grows older. “It’s very much a grandfather relationship with George at the moment,” said Robert Jobson, author of Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, to HELLO!
“But as he gets older, the King will take on that mentoring role, much as the late Queen did with William.” Charles even chose his grandson as a page of honour at his coronation in 2023, pointing to their loving bond.

“That’s the way, I think, when you are very small, and then each time they come you say, ‘Do you see how much the tree has grown, or whatever?’ and you hope that they take an interest,” he said. Charles has long been an advocate for environmental protections and has been vocal about the impending threat of climate change, something which has been sparked in George too.
