Princess Charlotte has an uncanny resemblance to this royal

Photos comparing the young Princess Charlotte to her great-great-grandmother have surfaced on Twitter, and royal fans are taken aback by their striking resemblance.

Princess Charlotte’s great-great-grandmother

Elizabeth Bowes Lyon was born on 4th August 1900 and was the fourth daughter of Lord Glamis. The Bowes-Lyon family descended from the Royal House of Scotland and Glamis Castle was their family seat, according to Royal.uk. Glamis Castle, Macbeth’s old home, has been the home of the Queen Mother’s family since the 14th century, notes Express.

Lady Elizabeth was home-schooled and spoke fluent French by age 10. When World War One started, Glamis Castle became a hospital and the then-14-year-old Lady Elizabeth helped assist the patients.

In April 1923, Lady Elizabeth married the then-Duke of York, Prince Albert, at Westminster Abbey. They had two children together, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, who was born at Glamis Castle.

In 1936, after the death of King George V and the subsequent abdication of King Edward VIII, Duchess Elizabeth became Queen Consort.

When King George died in 1952, Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne and her mother, Elizabeth, became known as the Queen Mother.

Fans marvel at their resemblance

Pictures of a young Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon were shared on the Instagram and Twitter accounts of Glamis Castle. The post claims:

When our castle archivist was looking at photographs of a young Lady Elizabeth below, we all agreed that there is a striking familial resemblance with her great-great-granddaughter, Princess Charlotte.

The post has nearly 500 hundred likes and was awash with comments as many social media users agreed that Charlotte did indeed look like Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

The Independentremarks that many social media users quickly agreed, noting that their similarities are 'remarkable'. They singled out that Princess Charlotte and the Queen Mother had the same smile.

However, some commented that Princess Charlotte resembled the late Queen Elizabethmore. Some suggested a young Lady Elizabeth looked like Princess Beatrice.
