Princess Charlotte is taking after Prince William‘s side of the family – namely, Princess Diana‘s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer.

The resemblance became abundantly clear when Kitty shared a childhood photo of herself on Instagram this week.
“Lexus Melbourne Cup here we come!! Channeling my inner jockey since 1992!” Spencer wrote in the caption of the photo – which showed the now-model riding a horse.
Royal fans were quick to point out the similarities between the 28-year-old and her royal relative.
“Like Charlotte Cambridge,” one follower wrote, according to Hello.
“You look exactly like Charlotte,” wrote another, while another added:
“Gosh you look like Princess Charlotte here.”
Recently, an Aussie five-year-old won New Idea Royals Monthly’s Princess Charlotte look-alike competition.
Ella Watson, Australia’s very own Princess Charlotte clone won the esteemed title after her mum Jo entered her in the contest.
Mum Jo says she first started to notice a resemblance when Charlotte’s early toddler photos started appearing.
“We thought, ooh, she looks just like Ella,” Jo told The Morning Show. “More and more people noticed that there was an uncanny resemblance.”
Jo says while the ‘royal gene’ skipped her generation, she’s glad that the opportunity for lookalike fun has been inherited by her little girl.
Not only does Ella look like Charlotte, she also shares her habit of sticking her tongue out!
Congratulations to Ella on her big win! It’s a right royal triumph.
