Prince Harry has always been likened to Princess Diana's side of the family, namely for his red hair which is a Spencer trait.

Looking at Diana's older sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale, it's clear that Harry has inherited his hair colour from his mother's side. But while examining the royal photo albums after the sad news of the passing of Prince Philip on 9 April 2021, we've noticed that the Duke of Sussex also bears an uncanny resemblance to his grandfather on his dad's side of the family. 

Photos of a young Philip show a striking similarity between the two. Harry appears to be a carbon copy of his grandfather, bearing the same piercing clear eyes, strong brow, slender nose and thin lips.

Harry started showing a likeness to the Duke of Edinburgh from a very young age when he was a teenager and shared the same mannerisms and expressions.

Harry followed in Prince Philip's footsteps by serving in the armed forces for ten years and was deployed to Afghanistan twice. His grandfather Prince Philip boasted a formidable military career in his time.

At 21 years old, Philip was one of the youngest first lieutenants in the Royal Navy and went on to serve during World War Two. He grew a full beard while out at sea – a far cry from his normally clean-shaven look.
