- Prince George has been dubbed Prince William and Princess Diana's double in a new photograph taken by his mother Kate Middleton.
- The young Prince celebrates his 8th birthday today.
- This royal news comes as it's reported Prince George could ‘leave London’ after his eighth birthday in potentially huge move.
Prince George has been likened to his dad Prince William and his late grandmother Princess Diana as a new picture is released to mark his 8th birthday.
The youngster, who is currently enjoying the summer break from St Thomas' Battersea with his younger sister Princess Charlotte, six, and Prince Louis, three, is eight today.
And following the family tradition, not only was Kate Middleton was staying up late to bake his birthday cake but she has taken a new photograph of George using her camera.
The Cambridges uploaded the adorable photo of George to their Instagram with the caption, 'Turning eight(!) tomorrow.' In the snap, he is wearing a sell-out £10 John Lewis navy and orange stripy polo shirt, whilst he is perched on the bonnet of a Land Rover Discovery - one which his late great-grandfather Prince Philip used to love driving.
But fans were quick to point out his likeness to William when he was eight and also his late grandmother Princess Diana.
One fan wrote, 'He looks so much like his dad!' another fan put, 'Oh my goodness look how much he resembles his Dad..and grandmother. Happy Birthday, young Prince!' and a third agreed, 'Handsome little man, looks like his Daddy and Nanny Diana. Happy Birthday George'. A fourth added, 'He looks more like William every day. Gorgeous boy!'
