Prince Louis is a firm favourite among royal fans thanks to his cheerful demeanour and his cheeky antics.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’s youngest son has unsurprisingly taken after his royal parents, with many drawing comparisons between Louis and his mother Princess Kate.
While the six-year-old naturally bears a striking resemblance to his parents, he also looks remarkably like his great uncle, Prince Edward. Photos from the royal archive show the pair rocking very similar outfits and almost identical haircuts, further bolstering the family resemblance.
On Christmas Day in 2022, Louis braved the chill and opted for a pair of burgundy shorts and a navy coat complete with a peter pan collar.
Photos taken in Sandringham showed the youngster walking by his mother’s side following the morning church service. With his smart outfit and mop of boyish locks, Louis resembled a young Prince Edward at a similar age.

A roaring good time
Edward and Louis both appear to appreciate family fun. In 1969, Edward was photographed spinning around in his go-kart in the grounds of Windsor Castle with his older brother, Charles.
A snapshot taken at the time shows an almost unrecognisable Edward beaming from ear to ear, dressed in a cornflower blue jacket. Little Louis channelled this same energy in 2022 at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
The youngster joined his family in the stalls and appeared to have a roaring good time next to his mother, Princess Kate.
Nature lovers
Prince Edward and Prince Louis seemingly have a shared passion for the outdoors. Edward was photographed as a youngster in 1969 playing among tree branches.
For the outdoor adventure, he was suitably dressed in a Fair Isle knitted jumper and long trousers.
Louis, who is renowned for his chirpy character, had his own woodland adventure in May 2023 when he took part in the Big Help Out alongside his parents.
Sneak-peek
It was a case of déjà vu at the King’s coronation. Louis looked like his great uncle’s double as he spoke to his sister Princess Charlotte ahead of the monarch’s majestic ceremony inside Westminster Abbey.
His expression in particular closely resembled that of Edward who was photographed looking equally as inquisitive at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1968.
