- George has inherited the Middleton button nose and chubby cheeks
- Also has William's eyes and ears
- George's christening was an intimate family affair, much like Kate's
- Wore ivory gown made of delicate Honiton lace and white satin, worn before him by every baby born to the British Royal family since 1841
When William first introduced Prince George to the world, he quipped that luckily their newborn had inherited his mother's looks, to which Kate replied 'I'm not sure about that'.
But judging by yesterday's snaps of His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, who put on a perfect display of royal etiquette on one the biggest day of his life so far, he really is the spitting image of his mother as baby.
As the former Kate Middleton carried her son out of the service, dressed in a handmade replica of Queen Victoria’s daughter’s christening robe, it was impossible to miss the resemblance between the pair.
Spot the difference: As the Duchess of Cambridge left her son's christening, it was impossible not to notice the similarities between the pair
Little George has inherited his mother's head shape, chubby little cheeks and the iconic Middleton button nose.
And it isn't just his mother's looks that the youngster has acquired.
According to aides, there wasn’t ‘even a peep’ out of the three-month-old future king as he was baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace.
‘He went in smiling, came out smiling and, as far as we are aware, smiled throughout,’ said one.
His good behaviour seemingly resonates that of his mother.
George Brown, a 68-year-old former neighbour of the Middleton family told the Mail on Sunday: 'Catherine was a good baby. She was always very well turned-out and there weren’t any problems.
'She was very content. Carole and I would often take the girls for walks together and have a coffee, and there was never much crying.’

So where did it all begin for Kate?
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, on January 9, 1982, the eldest of three children to British Airways stewardess Carole and her trainee pilot husband Michael Middleton, who had been married for two years.
The christening of Catherine took place on June 20, 1982 — the day before her future husband was born — at her local church, St Andrew’s, in Bradfield on the banks of the River Pang, Berkshire.
Her father Michael sported a traditional dark suit with striped tie for the occasion and posed proudly with Kate and Carole, who wore a Laura Ashley floral dress for the down-to-earth family event.
William's baptism was very different to Kate's small village gathering.
He was baptised in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace on August 4 (the 82nd birthday of the Queen Mother) by the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie.

Princess Diana, just 21 and wearing a fuchsia pink, blue and white floral dress with a pink hat set at a rakish angle, looked radiant. But she later confided to friends that it had been a trial.
