The 1957 photo that shows uncanny resemblance between Prince Harry and Prince Philip
<p>Although Prince Harry has been plagued with nasty speculation about whether his birth was the result of his late mother’s five-year affair with James Hewitt, a new photo proves that his genes run deep in the royal family.</p>
<p>After Princess Diana’s riding instructor went public with their affair, some claimed the Duke of Sussex resembled Mr Hewitt because they both have red hair.</p>
<p>However, a resurfaced photo of a young Prince Philip has gone viral, with many royal fans noticing his “uncanny” likeness to his 34-year-old grandson.</p>
<p>The vintage photo taken in 1957 shows Prince Philip in his mid-30s appearing on the cover of Paris Match magazine wearing a military uniform.</p>

<p>Photographer Chris Jackson shared a photo of the publication to Instagram and wrote: “I spotted this beautiful 1957 vintage cover of a @parismatch_magazine… Who does it remind you of?”</p>
<p>According to the <em>Evening Standard,</em> the vintage shot shows the 97-year-old husband of the Queen “wearing the tropical dress of the Blues and Royals” – the same uniform worn by Harry at the ANZAC Memorial in Sydney during his Australian tour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7821558/image_.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/1c1d42298b6740a9b12583a9cd7ead49" /></p>
<p>The image has since gone viral, with many admitting they mistook Prince Philip for his grandson at first.</p>
<p>“That’s amazing! The resemblance is spot on. I thought it WAS Harry on the Paris Match cover and had to re-read the post. Awesome comparison,” one Instagram user wrote.</p>
<p>Another added: “What a find. Uncanny resemblance. Quite handsome both of them.”</p>
<p>“Think this photograph may put some of those ugly rumours to bed,” a follower posted.</p>
<p>James Hewitt made headlines after he revealed his affair with Diana and attempted to sell 64 personal letters from the People’s Princess – a move that many fans were disgusted by.</p>
<p>Before her death in 1997, Diana attributed the colour of her youngest son’s hair to her side of the family, referring to him as her “little Spencer”.</p>
