Lady Kitty Spencer shared a throwback photo of herself, and royal fans couldn’t help but notice a striking resemblance between her and Princess Charlotte.

27-year-old Kitty, who is Princess Diana’s niece, posted a black-and-white photo of herself on her first day of school.Believed to be snapped when she was about four-years-old, then-young Kitty wore an adorable dress and black, dolly shoes.

Upon looking at the picture, you would think that it was Princess Charlotte wearing a big smile in front of the camera as young Kitty also wore the young princess’ signature half-up, half-down hairstyle.

Royal fans were quick to point out the resemblance on the comments section. In fact, one user wrote, "Princess Charlotte has the Spencer genes. You look so similar on this.”

Apart from Princess Charlotte, Kitty had also been said to be similar to her aunt, Princess Diana herself. Perhaps the Spencer genes are really strong.

WHO IS KITTY SPENCER

Kitty is first cousins with Prince William and Prince Harry. She is the eldest child of Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, the Ninth Earl Spencer. Kitty has three other siblings. Her mother is former model Victoria Lockwood.
