Twitter user Bree Symons said, “The resemblance is remarkable.”
Meanwhile, Instagram user Carla Tobal said, “They really look alike.
“Beautiful photos of the Queen Mother.”
The 14th-century Glamis Castle, in Forfar, was the childhood home of the Queen Mother.
Social media users were quick to agree that the young princess is very similar to her great-great-grandmother the Queen Mother
Glamis Castle has been the seat of the Bowes Lyon family since 1372. The most famous recent member is Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, better known as the Queen Mother.
King Charles’ grandmother grew up in Glamis and gave birth to her second child, Princess Margaret, on the 16,500-acre estate. More than 100,000 visitors visit the 130-room castle every year.
The photos came after a busy period for little royal Charlotte, who recently started a new school, moved and took part in a number of mourning events for the Queen.
Charlotte, seven, arrived at Westminster Abbey for her great-grandmother’s funeral with a delicate silver horseshoe pinned to the lapel of her black coat.
Royal fans noted that it looks identical to a copy that belonged to the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth, in the 1920s. She herself is believed to have received it as a gift from her mother-in-law, Queen Mary.
The Queen Mother, who married King George VI, then Duke of York in 1923, wore the brooch for a 1929 portrait.
The delicate piece is shaped like a horseshoe and is covered with sparkling gemstones.
It’s a particularly fitting choice, as the Princess of Wales has previously revealed how her daughter inherited Her Majesty’s love of horses.
