Prince Louis of Cambridge’s Resemblance to Grandfather Michael Middleton in New Photo

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released a new photo of their youngest son, Prince Louis, to mark his third birthday on April 23.

In the photo, taken by the Duchess herself, Prince Louis is seen beaming for the camera as he sits on his red training bike before his first day at nursery earlier this week.

The image, captioned “Three tomorrow” with a bike and red balloon emoji, has gone viral, amassing a staggering 1.4 million likes.

But what has really caught the attention of eagle-eyed royal fans is Prince Louis' striking resemblance to his grandfather, Michael Middleton.

Many fans took to Twitter to express their amazement at the resemblance between the two, with one user writing, “I see a lot of Michael Middleton's features in Prince Louis, Diana in Prince George and HM the Queen in Princess Charlotte.

It's how three children from the same parents can all look so different.

I find it intriguing.”

Another fan commented, “I believe as much as George and Charlotte resemble William and Her Majesty, Louis is the twin of Catherine's dad.

All three are adorable.

What a gorgeous boy he is.

William and Catherine have the most gorgeous and happy children.”

It's not just fans who have noticed the family resemblance, as Prince Louis' mother, Catherine, has also pointed this out in the past.

According to a friend who spoke to People magazine, “Everyone always comments on how Louis is the spitting image of Kate.

She loves it and thinks it's very sweet.

She often jokes that he's the only one of her kids who actually look like her.”

In the new photo, Prince Louis looks ready for his big day at Wilcox Nursery School, wearing a smart blue and white striped shirt, navy blue sweater, and sky blue shorts.

The chubby-faced toddler of previous birthday portraits is growing up fast, just like his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Wilcox Nursery School, where Prince Louis will be attending, is rated outstanding by Ofsted and is known for its high standards, excellence, and good manners.

Princess Charlotte also attended the school before starting her formal education.

The release of the new photo has delighted royal fans worldwide, who have been eagerly following the lives of the young Cambridge family.

With Prince Louis' resemblance to his grandfather Michael Middleton, it's clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in this family.
