Prince William's teenage photo looks 'exactly' like one of his children | Royal | News

Royal family enthusiasts are convinced that a member of the royal family is the spitting image of Prince William, as they revel in nostalgic photos of the royals during their teenage years.

Every family has its doubles, and the monarchy is not an expectation. Many royals bear a striking resemblance to their parents or older siblings, while others share uncanny similarities with their ancestors from generations past.

Princess Beatrice has often been compared to Queen Victoria due to the distinctive shape of her eyes and pronounced lips. Likewise, photos of Prince Harry frequently highlight his striking resemblance to his father, Prince Charles. Over time, as Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – many have drawn comparisons between them and the late Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana and the Middletons.

A Reddit forum called “Royals Gossip” has given hundreds of fans a trip down memory lane, featuring snaps of some of the most beloved royals during their teenage years. The collection includes images of Queen Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

A photo of a young Prince William, sporting long blond hair, a shy smile and a blue checked shirt, has drawn attention to his resemblance to a late Royal.

One user commented: “My God, William and Philip were so attractive when they were young.” Another observed: “William looks a lot like Philip. I always saw his mother in him, but this picture of Philip, it's William everywhere.”

Another commented: “I remember when this photo of William came out. He was so cute when he was a teenager.”

However, others believe he looked exactly like his mother, with one person noting: “Prince William looked exactly like Diana at 15.

Not only did they feel that William resembled Philip and his mother, but they also spotted a striking resemblance between William and Princess Charlotte. One person commented: “Prince William looks so much like Diana but I see a lot of Charlotte in the photo too.”

“Charlotte is his father in daughter form,” another wrote, while one added: “Charlotte looks so much like William”, another added that she looked “exactly” like his father.
