Prince George, Princess Charlotte’s Simulated Faces Predicted By Scientists [Pictures]

Those of you wanting to know what Prince George and Princess Charlotte will look like in 60 years probably thought that they’d have to wait 60 years to find out. But now scientists at Bradford University have created pictures that predict what the royal children will look like. And it’s kind of freaky.

Despite the fact that Prince George and Princess Charlotte are aged just 2 years old and six months old respectively, scientists and researchers at Bradford University were able to create images that predicted what the 7-year-old, 20-year-old, 40-year-old, and 60-year-old versions of Prince George will look like.

Okay, so here’s what Prince George will look like when he is aged 7. Probably.

Not convinced? Well, what about this picture that teases what Prince George will look like when he is 20 years old.

Still need convincing? Then here’s a quick look at what Prince George might look like when he is 40 years old.

And just to freak people out even further, and to transport people all the way to the year 2073, here’s a look at what Prince George might look like when he is 60 years old. And, apparently, he will look just like Liam Neeson.

Now it’s time for Princess Charlotte. Here’s what she will look like when she is 7 years old.

And here’s what Princess Charlotte will allegedly look like when she turns the ripe old age of 20.

And here’s Princess Charlotte at 40, looking remarkably good for her age.

And, last but not least, here’s what Princess Charlotte will look like when she turns 60 years old. Well, according to The University Of Bradford’s teams of scientists anyway.

But how did computer scientists manage to create such creepy and peculiar images of what the third and fourth in lines to the British throne Prince George and Princess Charlotte, respectively, will look like over the course of the next 57 years.

The University Of Bradford’s group of scientists and researchers, which has been led by Hassan Ugail, the University’s Professor of Visual Computing, insist that they have used new technology that is more accurate than existing “ageing” software to simulate what Prince George and Princess Charlotte will ultimately look like.

According to Yahoo, this new software takes specific facial features from babies and mixes it with “visual cues” from their parents and other relatives to create an image of what the child will eventually look like.

Professor Ugail explained to Reuters, “We take specific facial features. Very simple things like nose length is quite unique for that person, so we look at nose length, the width of the nose, the distance between eyes. So these are facial features that the computer recognizes as the person. So we take these – roughly 30 to 40 facial features we take from the face – and we use these facial features; we map it into the machine and then we produce the age.”

“So what we’ve done in the case of George, we’ve taken his picture and then we’ve actually taken facial features and then aged him,” he continued. “We’ve also, in some experiments, what we’ve done is we’ve taken the parental information and then also applied the parental information and aged him as well.”

However, Professor Ugail admitted that these images might not be completely accurate though. Ugail explained, “It’s very, very difficult to 100 percent say this is what the person is going to look like because there are other things that come into it. You know, there’s environmental issues, there are dieting habits. So all these things can age people very fast. So it’s very, very difficult to predict it, but what we assume is a natural age progression. So from that point of view our software is roughly 80 percent accurate,”
