Prince George, second in line to the British throne, has drawn comparisons to his grandfather King Charles and great-grandfather Prince Philip due to his posture and hand-in-pocket stance during the Trooping the Colour ceremony on June 21, 2026. The young royal, who will attend Eton College from September, was photographed at the annual military parade celebrating the Sovereign's official birthday, held at Horse Guards Parade in London.
Social Media Notices 'Windsor Walk'
The image, shared widely on social media, shows Prince George walking with his right arm swinging naturally by his side while his left hand is tucked into his trouser pocket. This distinctive gait has been dubbed the 'Windsor Walk' by royal observers, as both King Charles and the late Prince Philip have been seen adopting the same posture. One social media user commented that Prince George is 'like a mirror' of his grandfather.
Family Acknowledged Similarity Before
According to Hello! magazine, the resemblance has been noted within the family. In the BBC documentary Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute, Prince Harry remarked on the similarity between Prince George's gait and that of King Charles, noting their purposeful way of walking. Prince William agreed, joking that the resemblance was unmistakable.
