Like mother, like daughter-in-law. Kate Middleton seemingly channeled husbandPrince William's late mother, Princess Diana, whileintroducing their baby boy to the public in London on Tuesday, July 23.

The 31-year-old new mom
made her stunning post-baby debut in a knee-length cornflower blue bespoke
crepe de chine dress by British designer Jenny Packham.
The dress featured a similar polka-dot pattern to the one Princess Diana wore
in 1982 while introducing Prince William with husband Prince Charles. The Princess of Wales wore a green
knee-length, loose-fitting polka-dot
dress at the time.
Both Middleton and Princess Diana were photographed standing on the same steps
at St. Mary's Hospital posing with their newborn sons, who were swaddled in
white blankets.
Like Princess Diana and husband Prince Charles,
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took turns holding their son. Prince William weight 7 lbs., 1.5 oz. at birth, while
his baby boy weighed 8 lbs., 6 oz.

"He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure.
He's a big boy, he's quite heavy," the new dad told the press on Tuesday.
"It's the first time we've seen him; really we haven't had a proper chance
to catch up."

Middleton and Prince William have yet to reveal their son's
name; Princess Diana and Princes Charles didn't announce William's name until a
week after his birth.
