Prince George melts the hearts of royal fans who see Princess Diana resemblance

Prince George stole the show on Saturday afternoon when he made a rare public appearance with his parents.

The eight-year-old, who is third in line to the throne, was at Twickenham to watch England take on Wales in the Six Nations.

During her first engagement earlier this month with members of the England teams, Kate said of her rivalry with William: “We’re terribly competitive.
