An adorable photo of King Charles III as a baby has delighted royal fans, some of whom are convinced that the young monarch holds an uncanny resemblance to his future son, Prince Harry.
To mark His Majesty's first Trooping the Colour on Saturday, the Royal Collection Trust's official Instagram released a rare image of the 74-year-old attending the same event as a young child in 1951.
In the black-and-white photo, a two-year-old Charles is shown sitting between his grandmother, the Queen Mother, and his aunt, Princess Margaret, in a horse-drawn carriage returning to Buckingham Palace following the historic birthday parade. The cherubic heir, who is tucked under a tartan blanket, is wearing a high-necked buttoned jacket and sporting a head of blonde hair.
Fans have been quick to draw a comparison between the mini Charles and his second son, Prince Harry. While the Duke of Sussex has historically been considered to take after his late mother, Princess Diana, this latest photo reveals he also shares some physical traits with his father.

"I just realized how much his majesty look like prince Georges [sic] when he was young," one royal fan remarked.
The caption of the Royal Collection Trust's post reads as follows:
"He [the King] is no stranger to the Sovereign’s Birthday Parade, though, having attended from an early age.
"In this 1951 photo, His Majesty - then a two-year-old Prince Charles – is seen with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and aunt, Princess Margaret, returning to Buckingham Palace following Trooping the Colour. His mother, then Princess Elizabeth, had taken the salute on behalf of King George VI who was unwell."
