‘She’s the DOUBLE of Diana!’ Royal fans go wild over how much Charlotte looks like grandmother
Royal fans have gone wild over how much Princess Charlotte looks like her late grandmother Princess Diana at the coronation today.
The eight-year-old looked fabulous as she matched her mother in an Alexander McQueen gown at Westminster Abbey.
The young princess wore a dress and cape of ivory silk crepe with ivory embroidery with motifs of roses, thistles, daffodils and shamrocks, to signify the four nations.
Her mother Kate also looked elegant in a similarly gorgeous ivory silk crepe dress, with silver embroidery and wirework motifs of roses, thistles, daffodils and clover, to also represent each of the four nations.
Despite matching outfits with Kate, followers of the event confessed that they were amazed at how similar the little princess looked to her late grandmother Diana.

Many shared a photo of Charlotte’s grandmother, who died in 1996, when she was about 10 years old.
One person commented, “Princess Charlotte looks just like Diana, it’s insane.”
Another wrote, “Charlotte looks like Diana omg.”
A third added: “Charlotte looks like Grandma Diana.”
A fourth wrote: ‘Her way of smiling reminded me of her grandmother Princess Diana, she had the same shy smile.
“God bless our little princess and future Princess Royal.”
It’s not the first time royal fans have seen the resemblance between Charlotte and Diana – and many often commented that the two seemed to share many similarities.
At today’s event, Charlotte matched her mom in a Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpiece featuring three-dimensional silver, crystal, and silver wire leaf embroidery.
Meanwhile, the couple completed their ensembles with white shoes and swept back their tresses in chic updos for the historic occasion.
In a touching nod to her late mother-in-law, the Princess of Wales wore a set of Diana’s pearl and diamond earrings for the occasion.

The princess has long chosen to wear Alexander McQueen at key moments in her life.
She wore the fashion brand on numerous occasions, notably choosing creative director Sarah Burton to design her wedding dress.
The four flowers of the homelands – English rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh daffodil and Irish clover – were embroidered on the dress.
Kate wore pearl earrings given to Diana before her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981.

The mother-of-three previously wore the jewellery, bequeathed to William and Harry, at the 2019 Baftas. They feature a double curve of different diamond cuts, with a dangling pearl.
Diana wore the earrings on several occasions, including at a banquet for Japan’s Emperor Akihito in 1990 – and at a gala at the Palace of Versailles in 1994.
Last night, Kate turned heads at a reception at Buckingham Palace ahead of the big day.
She wore a new £360 self-portrait midi dress to attend the London event hosted by King Charles on the eve of his coronation.
Earlier today, Charlotte was spotted sitting next to her little brother Prince Louis at Westminster Abbey after arriving with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The siblings arrived without their older brother, Prince George, nine, who was a page of honor for his grandfather. The Prince and Princess of Wales’s two youngest children behaved impeccably during the service, with Charlotte providing a reassuring presence for her younger brother, who was able to suppress a few yawns during the sacred service.
Meanwhile, her younger brother Louis – who turned five on St George’s Day on April 23 – looked regal in a tailored outfit.
For the historic occasion, the young prince wears an outfit created by Savile Row tailors Dege and Skinner, which consists of a Hainsworth suspender blue Doeskin tunic with specially designed lace embellishments at the collar, cuffs and fronts. The leg garment is black, complete with a garter blue stripe.
