Royal fans go wild over ‘uncanny’ resemblance between Princess Charlotte and Lady Sarah Chatto

Royal fans are going wild over  the ‘uncanny’ family resemblance between Princess Charlotte and the Queen’s niece Lady Sarah Chatto in childhood snaps.

To mark her birthday, Kensington Palace has released new pictures of Charlotte as she helped her parents deliver home-made pasta to vulnerable Norfolk residents isolated by coronavirus earlier this week. 

And many have been left stunned by the likeness between Princess Charlotte, 5, and Princess Margaret’s daughter Lady Sarah, 56, after royal expert Victoria Arbiter tweeted a side-by-side of the duo.

The post was quickly inundated with comments noting the similarities between the two royal ladies.

One person said: ‘I’m blue in the face from saying she is Lady Sarah’s double since she was born.’

Meanwhile another commented: ‘Amazing resemblance to her cousin.’

Another wrote: ‘Oh wow! Look at that resemblance.’

Another added: ‘I’ve always thought Charlotte favours Sarah.’ 

Social media users were wowed by the side-by-side comparison of the two women, with one commenting that it was 'uncanny'

After she shared the side-by-side comparison, Victoria commented: ‘I’ve always thought she looked like Lady Sarah, but with them both aged 5 the resemblance is uncanny.’ 

New commemorative portraits were, as usual, taken by keen amateur snapper Kate, earlier this week in between home schooling sessions at Anmer Hall, the family’s Norfolk home on the Queen’s Sandringham estate. 

The entire family helped out with a local initiative started by the monarch’s staff, who have been preparing and delivering meals for pensioners and the vulnerable in the area during the lockdown.

After sharing four images of the little royal yesterday, the couple went on to thank fans for their well wishes and released a fifth picture today.

In the new snap, which was taken by Kate as part of the series, the little royal can be seen thoughtfully holding one of the parcels of pasta.

Around 1,000 meals were dispensed in the first week alone, and the scheme has been running for five weeks so far.

This time the Cambridges, all keen cooks, rustled up some home-made pasta which they separated into 12 large bags and tied up with raffia to add to the food parcels. Sources said all the children – even little Louis, two – were involved.

The following day, the family – Charlotte smartly dressed in a black and white checked dress with grey tights and black Mary Jane shoes – then helped to load bags of fresh produce into a van from the Sandringham Visitors’ Centre ready for delivery.

Sources say William, Kate, Charlotte and George spent two and a half hours driving around the area delivering food to those in need.
