In a video posted on X - formerly Twitter - the dad-and-son duo canbe seen mimicking each other’s hand and step movements while meeting rugby dignitaries in Marseille, France, prior to Wales’s defeat against Argentina on Saturday.
The second and third in line to the throne travelled together from London to the Stade de Marseille to cheer on Wales. However, it ended in heartbreak when the Dragons lost 29-17, getting kicked out of the tournament at the quarter-final stage.
However, royal fans didn’t spend too much time dwelling on the loss and, instead, pointed out the sweet interaction between father and son, noting that they appear to mirror each other’s movements while wearing almost identical ensembles, reports the Daily Mail.
In response to the heartwarming clip, fans have dubbed the young royal “adorable” and speculated that the Prince of Wales might be “training the future monarch” for his future on the throne.
@RoyallyBelle_, who posted the video on X, captioned the moving moment on the social media platform: “Watching Prince William and Prince George meeting representatives of the Welsh and Argentinian rugby associations before the match.”

“Their mannerisms are so similar! Really lovely to see William guiding his son and gently introducing him to the world stage.”
Later on in the video, a confident George leads the way ahead of his dad, as he steps in to offer a firm handshake to one of the representatives.
