“George and Charlotte really are cut from the same cloth as their parents,” former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond remarked to OK! Magazine.

“It’s very cute to see this pair out with their mum and dad… they obviously have a great relationship and perhaps they get a kick out of playing lookalikes.”

Relationship guru Nicky Wake also weighed in, reinforcing Jennie Bond’s insights: “William and George looked adorable watching the Euros together.”

“The way George mimicked his dad shows that he idolises him in every way, whether it was cheering and hugging in joy at the goal, or sitting in devastation at the result. George looking over at William to copy his actions shows that he sees his father as a role model and aspires to be like him when he’s older.”

With Prince George set to one day step into the roles of his father and grandfather as King, it’s hardly surprising that he’s so observant of Prince William’s behaviour – experts have even pointed out how the young Royal has been mirroring his dad during their public appearances.

“With Kate absent, William stepped up his nurturing behaviour with attentiveness and physical affection towards George,” human behaviour expert Jessen James observed.

“Overall, the non-verbal cues between the pair painted a picture of a close, respectful father-son relationship built on shared experiences and emotional understanding.”
