Dashing Prince Harry bears striking resemblance to a young Duke of Edinburgh in uniform

Stunning images show Prince Harry’s striking resemblance to the Duke of Edinburgh.

Chris Jackson, a Getty photographer, posted an image online of the Duke of Edinburgh on the front cover of a 1957 vintage magazine, leaving many people shocked by the resemblance between him and the Duke of Sussex.

On the front cover of the magazine, Prince Philip can be seen wearing the Tropical dress of the Blues and Royals, the same uniform that the Duke of Sussex wore to an ANZAC memorial in Sydney during the current royal tour of Australasia and the Pacific.

One user said: “Now we know where Harry gets his looks. Funny how genes work!”

While Lynsey Gordon wrote: “I have always thought Prince Harry looked like a young Duke of Edinburgh.”

Another user commented: “No mistaking the family gene pool here. What a fabulous magazine!”

Mr Jackson then posted an image of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the cover of the same magazine some 61 years later.

The photographer is currently following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their royal tour.

He said: “Whilst today it’s very much a ‘Modern Monarchy’ it’s these historical reference points that make photographing the Royal Family so unique and remind you of the centuries of tradition that remain at their core.”

On Monday, the royal couple went on a walkabout on Fraser Island.

They were greeted by the premier of Queensland before stopping to watch a Butchulla people dance group on the beach, surrounded by cheering well-wishers.
