Prince William looks strikingly similar to his late mother, Princess Diana, according to several social media users.

The late Princess of Wales would have turned 63 on Monday. It has been nearly three decades since she passed away, but Princess Diana is still warmly remembered by royal fans, especially because her eldest son, Prince William, inherited her genes and looked like her.

One video on TikTok featured a 16-year-old Prince William when he became a godparent for the first time in 1999. In the clip, he can be seen carrying Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark. However, his facial reaction caught the social media users' attention as it was very similar to Princess Diana's.

"Prince William looks so much like his mother Princess Diana," the caption read.

The post received thousands of comments, with the majority agreeing with the caption.

"Carbon copy of her gorgeous mom," one commented. Another added, "He [is] so like his mother."

"People [are] trying so hard to make Harry the copy of his mother because of their personalities, but the truth is that William is his mother's copy!" a third person opined.

Another post also showed several photos of the royal mom and son and their resemblance was undeniable. Those who saw the snaps agreed that they looked the same.

"Princess Diana and Prince William. They are so similar," the royal fan wrote with broken heart and fire emojis.

"Super look alike," one user commented with multiple red heart emojis.

A different user also shared a clip of the mother and son when both were 24 and doing an interview on Facebook. The user who shared the clips said they looked alike and shared the same mannerisms.

Another royal fan uploaded several photos of the Prince of Wales and his mother. The first snap showed half of their faces next to each other, highlighting their likeness. The last shot featured the duo sharing the same smile and blue eyes.

"Prince William became very much like his mother looks like the male version," the caption read.

"Like mother like son," one remarked.

Another added, "He represents a male version of Diana; if she were still alive, they are very similar."

In related news, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, who was once very close to Princess Diana, marked the latter's birthday by sharing a throwback photo of them on Instagram. In the caption, she recounted their fun times and acknowledged her legacy.

"Happy birthday to my dear friend, Diana. You were a pillar of light and love. And what a legacy you have left behind," Ferguson wrote. "I will forever remember our laughter and the kindred, kind spirit I found in you. I am sure you are watching over us always. Rest in peace my friend."
