As far as babies go, the only thing that could possibly be cuter than a normal baby is a royal baby. Maybe it's their potential to one day ascend the throne that adds a little something extra adorable to a royal baby's presence. For evidence of the royal baby cuteness factor, look no further than these absurdly cute throwback photos of Prince William and Prince Harry as kids. 

Prince William and Prince Harry grew up before our eyes, and while we love to see the amazing men they've become, not much is better than looking back at the little boys we first remember. They brought out the heart in their dad Prince Charles, and they were the apples of Princess Diana's eyes -- how she loved them so! -- and we, too, fell under their boyish charms way back when.

Ready for His Close-Up

Let's zoom in on that cute ginger face, shall we? Baby Harry appears to be surprised by his own musical talent. Or maybe he's just mystified by the camera. To a baby, a camera probably seems more like a magical clicking light box than a commonplace piece of technology.

William gives his son a run for his money in the "cutest royal baby boy" department with this ridiculously cute baby photo. We can't even pretend we don't want to pinch those chubby dumpling cheeks.

Harry looked so excited to be walking unsupported for possibly the first time. It's a shame he doesn't sport overalls more often. They really suit him.

Young Wills clearly took caring for his pony very seriously. His pony's name was Smokey, in case you were wondering if the scenario could be any cuter.

Too Cool for School

We love this photo of little William on his first day of school at Wetherby. He looks like he's ready to learn about economics and play some hide and seek.

September 6, 1997

This is one moment in the princes' childhoods that's hard to look back on. They stayed close to their father and their uncle at Diana's funeral. William and Harry lost their mother much too soon.

William resembles a miniature James Bond in his stylish blazer and tie. He's probably wondering if there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good-looking.

What's a skiing holiday without awkward yet still adorable staged photos with the whole family? William and Harry took a break from scaling the slopes to take a picture with their cousins Beatrice and Eugenie.
