She’s been compared to her great-grandmother the Queen many a time, as well as her late grandmother Princess Diana and her father Prince William, but now there’s another royal who Princess Charlotte draws a remarkable resemblance to, her cousin, Lady Kitty Spencer.

More accurately four-year-old Charlotte’s first cousin once removed (she’s Princes William and Harry’s first cousin), Lady Kitty Spencer, 28, took to Instagram to share a throwback pic of her riding a pony in 1992, ahead of her appearance at the Melbourne Cup in Australia this week.

“Lexus Melbourne Cup here we come!!” the model captioned the photo.

“Channeling my inner jockey since 1992 🐎 🏆.”

And while of course many of her followers were delighted at the adorable throwback snap, many also saw a striking resemblance between her younger self and four-year-old Princess Charlotte.

“Gosh you look like Princess Charlotte here,” commented one of her followers.

While another added: “So cute!! Princess Charlotte looks like you!! 💕💕 💕”

It’s not the first time the two have been compared to each other, however.

Back in 2018, Kitty shared a photo of herself on her first day of school, with one fan remarking, “How much does she look like Princess Charlotte.”

Another agreed saying, “Princess Charlotte has the Spencer genes. You look so similar.”

Only time will tell if Princess Charlotte continues to look like Kitty as she grows up – we can’t wait to find out!
