Princess Charlotte it was his late grandmother, Princess Dianait's mini-me at Princess Kate MiddletonThe annual service of carols “Together at Christmas”.
The Princess of Wales, 42, hosted her annual holiday concert at Westminster Abbey on Friday, December 6, where she was joined by her husband, Prince Williamand his three children, Prince George11, Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis6.
A photo taken of Charlotte at the event drew comparisons to Diana as the young princess looked at a photographer as she walked by. A fan account dedicated to the royal family shared a side-by-side comparison of the “Spencer Stare” via Instagram of Charlotte next to a picture of her grandmother giving a room a similarly stern look.
“Oh, those eyes are the same for Diana and Charlotte,” wrote one fan via the Instagram comments, while another noted the “striking resemblance.” Others, however, think Charlotte looks like a different family member. “She looks like her great grandmother Queen Elizabeth” one person wrote.
Even without the family resemblance, Kate and William – who welcomed Charlotte in May 2015 – also blessed their only daughter with Diana as a middle name to honor the late Princess of Wales, who died tragically in a car accident in Paris in 1997.
“We have more pictures around the house of her, and we talk about her a little bit and stuff,” William explained during the 2017 HBO documentary. Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy. “And it's difficult because obviously Catherine doesn't know her, so she can't really provide that level of detail. So I do it regularly, I put George and Charlotte to bed, talking about her, and I just try to remember that there are two grandmothers – there were two grandmothers in her life. And it is important that they know who she was and that she existed.”
Diana's influence also extended to how William and Kate chose to raise their children. A source said exclusively We weekly in August 2019, “Diana was such a wonderful mother. William and Kate are doing their best to take after her when it comes to raising George, Charlotte and Louis. They are determined to give their children a normal life, as Diana did.
At Friday's carol service, Charlotte and Kate were the twins as they both wore red coat dresses, while William and the boys wore navy suits with complementary brown ties.
Earlier this year, Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer, but revealed in September that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment. Real author Phil Dampier said Good afternoon! on December 2 that Charlotte had been a great help to her mother while she was undergoing cancer treatment.
“I am told that although the Princess of Wales obviously cared for her children during her cancer treatment, and reassured them that she was doing well,” he told the outlet. “Charlotte has been a great source of strength for her.”
Dampier added: “Winston Churchill once said of the late Queen Elizabeth as a child that he had never seen such maturity in someone so young. And Charlotte seems to have inherited that trait from her great-grandmother, to whom she carries a strange resemblance.”
