As soon as a new baby is born, proud parents and relatives are always quick to try and spot family resemblances in their bub.
And it’s no different for the British Royal Family, who’s strong genes and features are cropping up in the next generation.
Whether it’s Prince William’s Diana-like pout, Archie’s Harry-esque ginger hair or Prince George’s sweet cross-over with his dad Prince William – royal watchers can’t get enough of pointing out the similarities.
But perhaps the most special royal lookalike is that of Prince Harry’s and his late paternal grandfather Prince Philip when he was a military man.
In the wake of the Duke Of Edinburgh’s recent passing on April 9, royal watchers have revisited the pair’s spooky likeness.
One image of note is a vintage cover of Paris Match from 1957 featuring a bearded Prince Philip during his navy days ,which bears an uncanny resemblance to a rugged Prince Harry when he had facial hair.
They could have seriously passed as brothers!

But it’s Princess Charlotte who perhaps has the most royal doppelgangers out of anyone. In May last year, after the palace released a series of new portraits to mark Charlotte’s fifth birthday, twitter melted down after it was highlighted just how much the middle Cambridge child and Princess Margaret’s daughter, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, or Lady Sarah Chatto, looked alike.

Or is she more like Granny Diana? Those pursed lips and that cheeky expression of Charlotte’s reminded the world of a young Princess Diana (L) when she was the same age.

“I would loved her to have met Catherine and to have seen the children grow up. It makes me sad that she won’t, that they will never know her,” Prince William has said of not having Diana around to meet George and Charlotte.
