Prince Harry passed down his striking red hair to kids Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet Diana, 2, who he shares with wife Meghan Markle. (Although recent photos seem to suggest that her hair has gotten more blonde with age!) But resurfaced photos of the Duke of Sussex proves that another royal toddler in the family looks just like a young Prince Harry — and the resemblance is uncanny!
Hello! Magazinerecently published a vintage photo of Prince Harry from when he was just 1 year old. The toddler, who is the younger son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana, wore adorable blue corduroy overalls over a button-down checkered shirt. The photo was taken in Oct. 1985 at the playroom in Kensington Palace in London, where Harry was standing next to a rocking horse, looking adorable with his already fiery red hair.
The outlet spotted the connection between this baby Harry with another baby: Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brookbanks’ 2-year-old son August!
Prince Harry Photo From 1985
Prince Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie, who also shares son Ernest, 7 months, with Brookbanks, and her family were spotted hanging out in Jamaica with friends, per Hello! In one photo, Ernest sat on his dad’s lap, while Eugenie reached over to tickle his cheek, and August stood with other kids. He wore a green t-shirt with one hand raised for the group photo, smiling and looking just like his mom’s cousin.
Prince Harry From 1985
Another photo from the same 1985 session shows Prince Harry sitting on the rocking chair. Everything from his hair to his mouth-open expression looks just like August does now, almost 39 years later. (See the photos of August HERE.)
Baby August
You can also see the resemblance between a baby Prince Harry and a baby August in this photo from the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, which celebrated the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th anniversary of ascending the throne. In this cute snap, August wears a blue sweater with a British flag to show his pride for the nation. He has the same red hair and cute little mouth as Prince Harry, and it’s adorable!
Cousin Friendship
It’s fitting that August looks so much like Prince Harry, because his mom Princess Eugenie is still really close with the Spare author. Despite Harry’s feud with his brother Prince William and his father King Charles, Harry reportedly remains close with his cousins, Eugenie especially.
A source told PEOPLE in August 2023 that Prince Harry is “so close” to Princess Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice. “They’re still the best of friends and talk constantly,” the insider revealed.
They added, “This whole drama between him and Meghan and the rift with the rest of the family has been really stressful for the girls. It’s hard to watch because they see both sides of it.” They noted that Beatrice and Eugenie “understand and live the royal machine.”
