We’ve noticed that Mike and Zara Tindall’s son, Lucas Tindall, shares the same cherubic white-blonde hair as his late great-grandfather, Prince Philip, did when he was a baby.
Images of Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark from 1922 show him as a toddler with a mop of naturally white-blonde hair, smiling at the camera with his baby teeth visible.
Photos of Lucas from August 2023, taken when he was around the same age as his late great-grandfather, show a striking resemblance, with Lucas inheriting the same blue eyes and cheeky smile.
Lucas has a sweet connection to the late Duke of Edinburgh. When his birth was announced on March 21, 2021, Mike and Zara revealed his full name as Lucas Philip Tindall, in tribute to Zara’s grandfather, Prince Philip. Sadly, Lucas was born just 19 days before the Duke passed away at the age of 99 on April 9, 2021.
Mike and Zara were among the few royal family members who attended Prince Philip’s intimate funeral at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, held under COVID-19 restrictions.
Former rugby star Mike shared a touching tribute to his wife’s grandfather, posting a photograph of Prince Philip with their eldest child, Mia, taken at a log cabin on the Balmoral estate.
“It’s been a very sad week but it has given us time to reflect on great memories and stories both personal and shared. A devoted family man who we will forever miss but always love,” Mike wrote at the time.
