Hangin’ in the Outback

When Prince William and Kate Middleton took a few photographs in front of the Uluru — formerly known as Ayers Rock — in the Australian Outback during their current Royal Tour, many people were instantly reminded of when Charles and Diana — then the Prince and Princess of Wales — had posed there 31 years ago. (Looks like the camera man must have used some sort of cool filter on the Kate and Wills pic!)

Celebrating a Special Moment

Doesn't Prince George's October 2013 baptism look a lot like his father's back in 1982?

And Baby Makes 3!

Kate and William debuted Prince George on the steps of St. Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing in London last July — and it's the same hospital Wills was born in June 1982! Kate even paid tribute to the late Diana by wearing a similar polka-dot dress.

“I Do!”

Unlike Diana and Charles who wed in July 1981 at St. Paul's Cathedral, Kate and William exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey. But the duo, married in April 2011, still posed exactly like Wills' parents!

The Engagement Heard ‘Round the World

In February 1981, Lady Diana got engaged to Charles who proposed to her with an engagement ring consisting of 14 diamonds surrounding a 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire set in 18-carat white gold. William presented Kate with his mother's ring in October 10 during a 10-day trip in Kenya. When Clarence House announced the engagement one month later, Kate even rocked a blue dress (like Diana!) for the official portraits.

Lady Di’s Chair

During their whirlwind tour of India and Bhutan, the couple paid a visit to the Taj Mahal, where they posed in front of the long reflecting pool, on the bench that's come to be known as Lady Di's Chair, named after Princess Diana.
