Prince George drew quick “like father, like son” reactions after his first photos from Eton surfaced. The young royal was seen in the school’s formal uniform, prompting fans to compare him with Prince William’s own Eton arrival. The images also placed the Wales family milestone inside a longer royal tradition. Fans focused on the same school, similar poses, and the father-son echo across nearly three decades.
Royal fans compare Prince George’s Eton photo to Prince William’s journey
Prince George began his Eton College journey Tuesday morning. The 13-year-old was photographed arriving with his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton. The September 8 arrival happened in Berkshire, where George joined a nearly 600-year-old school previously attended by William and Prince Harry. Meanwhile, fans used the new photos to draw a direct family comparison. One X user cheered, “Like father like son,” while another wrote, “The resemblance is incredible, even nearly 30 years apart.”
However, several reactions focused on the visual match between father and son. One X user posted, “Father and Son in their Eton uniform.” Others noted how the father and son have done “the same pose” so many years apart. A separate post read, “Like Papa, like son,” alongside side-by-side photos of William and George. The comparison also spread with a dated collage. One fan noted their first Eton College days were three decades apart.
Still, the other reactions treated the milestone as a family chapter. One X user wrote, “Prince William at 13, and now Prince George at 13.” The same post called it “full circle” and described them as “same age, same school.” The fan added that it was “a very proud day for William and Catherine.”
Suffice to say, for George and William, the photos from their first day at Eton and the online response turned a school arrival into a father-son royal moment.
