After the beautiful new photo released yesterday by the Royal family to celebrate Princess Charlotte’s second birthday, we noticed quite a resemblance between the youngest royal and the reigning monarch. 

The photo, taken by Charlotte’s mother Duchess Catherine who has spent her years as a mother honing her photography skills, shows the young princess wearing a cute lemon coloured cardigan over a round collared shirt, giving the camera a sweet half smile. She has clearly inherited her mother’s shiny locks, but it isn’t the only family resemblance.

The photograph was taken in April by The Duchess at their home in Norfolk. The Duke and Duchess are very pleased to share this photograph as they celebrate Princess Charlotte’s second birthday. Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank everyone for all of the lovely messages they have received, and hope that everyone enjoys this photograph of Princess Charlotte as much as they do.

While there is certainly a lot a lot of William and Catherine in Charlotte, it looks like she might be taking after her dear great-grandmother as well!

It feels like it was only yesterday the little princess was a babe-in-arms, and now she’s a toddler. The time has certainly flown by. 

Do you see the resemblance between the Queen and Princess Charlotte?
