Like father, like son: Prince George makes balcony debut at Buckingham Palace

Charming pictures draw comparison to Prince William's youth to his own son's

History repeated itself on Saturday when Prince George made his debut on the balcony of the Buckingham Palace wearing the exact baby-blue romper suit his dad, Prince William, wore during his first appearance 31 years ago.

Charming pictures from then and now also show how an excited Prince William, then aged two, reacted in the same excited way as his own son to the Trooping of the Colours, which marks the Queen's birthday.
