Listen up, royal fans. If you've been paying attention to the royal family, you've probably noticed how adorable Princess Charlotte looks like both her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and her dad, Prince William. But here's something that might surprise you. Recently, Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, shared a sweet throwback photo from her childhood on Instagram, and people couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between her and the royal toddler, Charlotte. It's almost like looking at the same person!

A Childhood Snapshot That Sparked Conversations

Kitty, who is now 27, posted a vintage black-and-white photo with the caption, "First day of school." Once royal enthusiasts started comparing the photo with recent images of three-year-old Charlotte, they noticed something fascinating. Kitty's hairstyle as a child looks eerily similar to the one Charlotte wore on her first day of preschool. This uncanny likeness had fans buzzing, and some even mistook the old photo for a recent picture of Princess Charlotte. It's truly remarkable!

Take a moment to look at the throwback photo posted by Kitty below. You'll see what I mean. The resemblance is uncanny, and fans can't stop talking about it. It’s as if history is repeating itself right before our eyes.

What Fans Are Saying

It’s no wonder that Instagram users are chiming in with their thoughts. One user commented, "Don’t Kitty and Princess Charlotte look similar?! Charlotte is going to be [beautiful] when she grows up!" Many of the nearly 200 comments on the post noted how Charlotte must have inherited her "Spencer genes." Fans see this resemblance as a nod to her father and grandmother, Princess Diana, whose beauty was legendary. “Princess Charlotte has the Spencer good-looking genes like her father and grandmother Princess Diana,” another user wrote. It’s clear that Charlotte is carrying on the family legacy in a big way.

Charlotte's Other Family Resemblances

Just a couple of months ago, during Princess Eugenie's royal wedding to Jack Brooksbank, another photo of Charlotte went viral. Fans couldn’t help but compare it to a photo of Charlotte’s dad, William, when he was a child. Both images showed the same deep-set blue eyes, similarly-shaped noses, and thinly-curved eyebrows. But the most striking feature? Their shared "Diana smirk" – the same smile that made Princess Diana so iconic. It’s as if Charlotte is a living reminder of her late grandmother.

Let’s face it, this isn’t the first time Charlotte has been compared to a royal family member, and it probably won’t be the last. As the royal children grow older, fans eagerly look forward to more pictures each year. Although Charlotte and her older brother, Prince George, went back to school in September, their parents, Kate Middleton and William, didn’t share any new "first-day" photos of the kids. Why? According to People, William and Kate prefer to keep their children's school lives as private as possible. They want Charlotte and George to grow up in a pressure-free environment, so school photos will only be released on special occasions. We’ll just have to take what we can get!
