The more things change the more they stay the same.

When you get a look at the royal family, one generation looks really similar to the next! Case in point? Case in point: A picture taken at Prince George's christening today looks a whole lot like one snapped at Prince William's baptism circa 1982!

Not to be confused with Prince George's official christening photos (which have yet to be released), but this in-action shot of the 3-month-old being held in mom Kate Middleton's arms with dad William looking on lovingly seems quite familiar! That's because in a photo from baby William's christening, his mom Princess Diana cradled him sweetly while dad Prince Charles gazed on in adoration.

Both christening scenes show a male infant clad in the traditional white christening gown and a dad in a suit wearing a blue tie. Diana opted for a pink floral dress and hot pink bowler hat, whereas Kate went with a more muted Alexander McQueen coat dress and accompanying fascinator.

We should note, though, that while baby Georgie was taking everything in, baby William appeared to be snoozing through his ceremony!

Hey, when you're the future king, you do what you want!
