The 10-year-old royal joined dad Prince William at the FA Cup final
Prince George has mastered one of his mom’s hair moves.
During a father-son outing at the FA Cup final with Prince William at London’s Wembley Stadium on May 25, 10-year-old George was caught on camera pushing his hair back with his fingers, reminiscent of a move often made by Kate Middleton.
Social media users were quick to spot the similarities, with one pointing out that Prince George has the “same mannerisms” as his parents.

While his hair fix was just like mom, Prince George was Prince William’s mini-me at the soccer championship between Manchester City and Manchester United. The father and son matched in navy suits paired with blue ties both featuring red and white stripes.

Prince George has reached the age where he is wearing suits regularly, from family outings like Trooping the Colour to sporting events like Wimbledon. When he was younger, George — followed by his little brother, 6-year-old Prince Louis — wore shorts with knee socks for more formal events, the common style for upper-class British boys.
Even during a heatwave at Wimbledon in 2022, Prince George looked sharp in a suit, sticking to the tennis tournament’s dress code for patrons of the Royal Box at Centre Court.
At the soccer championship, Prince George joined his dad in checking out the trophy and shaking hands with the teams during the medal presentation.

Prince William, who is the president of the Football Association, has been spotted at several games for his favorite soccer team, Aston Villa, in recent weeks as both his wife, Princess Kate, and father, King Charles, are undergoing treatment for cancer. Aston Villa reached the UEFA Champions League for the first time, prompting a congratulatory tweet from their famous royal fan.
“He has been hugely buoyed by the results of Aston Villa,” a close source tells PEOPLE. “You shouldn’t overlook the importance of soccer in these moments.”
Prince George accompanied his dad at Aston Villa’s game on April 11, where the Prince of Wales confirmed his eldest child was following in his footsteps as a Villa fan. As he left the stadium, Prince William was asked if Prince George was now “part of the pride.”
“Oh yes, he’s loving it,” Prince William replied, according to sports journalist Neil Moxley.
Princess Kate and Prince William’s three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis — are currently on a school break until June 3. The royal couple traditionally take time away from their royal duties during school vacations to spend time with their children, but this year, Kate is already staying out of the public eye amid her cancer treatment and William has postponed most outings until the U.K.’s general election takes place on July 4.
