Whoa! Prince Philip Is the Spitting Image of Prince Harry in This Royal Throwback

We're well aware that Queen Elizabeth II's genes are strong [1], but as it turns out, so are Prince Philip's. Last week, Prince Harry channelled Prince Charming [2] when he unveiled the new ANZAC memorial in Sydney with Meghan Markle [3]. Getty photographer Chris Jackson was quick to point out that the royal was the spitting of his grandfather [4] when he was young. The photographer posted a photo on Instagram of Philip on the cover of a 1957 copy of Paris Match.

"I spotted this beautiful 1957 vintage cover of a @parismatch_magazine whilst visiting our wedding venue in France a couple of years ago - Who does it remind you of!?" he captioned the snap featuring Philip in his white uniform and gold chords, similar to the one Harry wore. "Whilst today it's very much a 'Modern Monarchy' it's these historical reference points that make photographing the Royal family so unique and remind you of the centuries of tradition that remain at their core."

Philip has a close relationship with all of his eight grandchildren [5], but we especially love seeing his bond with Harry [6]. In fact, it was reported that Harry and Meghan expedited their wedding [7] earlier this year to ensure that Philip could attend. How sweet!
