Buckingham Palace announced Prince Philip's death at the age of 99 on Friday, and royal photographer Chris Jackson paid tribute to the late Duke of Edinburgh with a vintage photo that looks just Prince Harry.

Jackson shared a Paris Match magazine cover on Instagram from February 1957 featuring a young Prince Philip - though the image could easily be mistaken for his grandson. From their reddish beards to their identical smiles, the family resemblance is strong.

"I was blown away the minute I spotted it," Jackson captioned the post. "It always reminds me of the unique, historic reference points that Royal photography provides."

Harry returned to the UK for the first time in over a year ahead of Prince Philip's funeral on Saturday, April 17. In a statement issued to the press, the Duke of Sussex said his grandfather was a "man of service, honor, and great humor."

"He will be remembered as the longest-reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke," he wrote. "But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right 'til the end."
