Princess Charlotte's looks are often compared to many members of her family, from the late Queen and Lady Sarah Chatto to her father, Prince William. However, one the most uncanny lookalikes is Diana, Princess of Wales' eldest niece, Lady Kitty Spencer.

After Lady Kitty shared a throwback photograph of herself from 1992 on social media, it became undeniably clear that Princess Charlotte has inherited her looks from her father's side of the family. Lady Kitty was born on 28 December 1990 to Charles, Earl Spencer, and his first wife Victoria Aitken and was raised between South Africa and England.

The aristocrat, who is Prince William and Prince Harry's first cousin, is very active on social media and often shares sweet throwback pictures with her 705k followers.

In one snap from 1992, a very young Kitty is seen sitting on a horse wearing a riding helmet. But it wasn’t just the cute picture that had everybody talking. Her incredible likeness to one of her royal relatives was all that everybody in the comments could speak about.

One commented: “You look just like Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.” While another added: “OMG!!! How similar Princess Charlotte is to you." Someone else shared their disbelief: “I thought it's Princess Charlotte.”

One said: “Now we know how Princess Charlotte will look alike when she's adult." A final user concluded: “Lady Kitty, you and HRH Princess Charlotte look identical. It’s the Spencer genes!”

This is not the first time that Princess Charlotte's similarities to her relatives have come as a shock - even Prince William was once left doing a double take.

During a visit to Bradford in 2020, the Prince and Princess of Wales examined a cake which was designed by Siami Ali, when Prince William noticed something “incredible”.

William pointed to a cute photo of himself dressed in a red jumpsuit from 1992 and was stunned at his resemblance to Princess Charlotte. The likeness is so strong that he said to Kate: "Is that me? Doesn't it look like Charlotte?"

The Princess of Wales came for a closer look and agreed saying: "It looks so much like Charlotte." William then repeated his previous statement, adding: "Is that me? That looks just like Charlotte. That's incredible, I haven't seen that before. Very alike in similarity."
