Prince Louis was spotted wearing the same outfit Prince Harry wore 30 years ago as he made his royal balcony debut.

During celebrations to mark the Queen's official birthday on Saturday, the 13-month-old was pictured wearing the same outfit his uncle wore at the Trooping the Colour event in 1986.

Prince Louis wore a white and blue shirt with blue shorts as he waved from the Buckingham Palace balcony at the crowds below.

Archive pictures show a young Prince Harry looking at the crowds with Princess Anne in the same blue shorts and shirt.

It comes four years after Prince George was dressed in the same blue frock Prince William wore during Trooping the Colour in 1984.

Louis won hearts across the nation as he waved excitedly from the balcony during the flypast to mark the Queen's official birthday.

The prince was held by his mother Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a similar colour dress to the one worn by Princess Anne as she held Prince Harry in 1986.

Prince Louis joined the crowds in clapping after the flypast ended before he was carried back inside.

The toddler was also spotted peering from the windows of Buckingham Palace beside his sister Princess Charlotte.

The pair were looking at the military pomp and pageantry on display outside the palace.

Charlotte waved to crowds as the spectacle was underway, while Louis appeared grumpy despite the lavish ceremony and was pictured frowning out the window.
