    Princess Charlotte turned 10 earlier this year, and the little royal has recently made several official appearances alongside the Royal Family. From her expressive appearance at Wimbledon to twinning with mom Kate Middleton at Trooping the Colour, Charlotte has become a prized member of the Royal Family. And according to royal fans, the young princess has not one but two famous doppelgangers.

    One royal fan's Facebook post asked commenters whether they thought Princess Charlotte looked like any of her close royal relatives. Unsurprisingly, the responses flooded in.

    "She is so beautiful and resembles, her Dad, Mum and Grandmother the late Queen BUT she looks like herself and is absolutely beautiful and elegant, a real princess," one person wrote on the post. Another royal fan confirmed, "Definitely her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II."

    Another commenter agreed with the suggestion Charlotte looks like her great-grandmother, the late monarch. "Definitely Queen Elizabeth, noticed that when she was a baby, she also has that elegance about her too," the fan explained.

    It's often been suggested that Princess Charlotte takes after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, particularly as a young girl. But additional commenters also pointed out Charlotte's resemblance to her late grandmother, Princess Diana.

    Princess Charlotte has also started following in her late grandmother Princess Diana's fashion footsteps—while carving out her own regal style. It's heartwarming to know both Elizabeth and Diana's legacies will be continued in Princess Charlotte.
