Proof That Princess Charlotte Is the Queen's Ultimate Mini-Me

Royal twinning to the max!

Princess Charlotte showed off her playful personality during Thursday's royal playdate with military families in Canada, but something else was evident during the fun-filled hour: Charlotte looks exactly like her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

It's all in the eyes

Charlotte and her great-grandmother share the same striking eye structure – from their matching blue eyes to their eyebrows, there's no questioning their resemblance.

Heir to the hair

While big brother Prince George sports adorable blonde locks (with the perfect side-part!), Charlotte has lovely light brown hair. Before her hair turned a regal shade of white, Queen Elizabeth's hair was a very similar shade to her great-granddaughter's.

For the love of cardigans

The little princess and the reigning monarch also share an appreciation for cardigans. Both wore matching pink sweaters for the Queen's family portrait ahead of her 90th birthday earlier this year.

Animal-friendly royals

At just 17 months, it's clear Charlotte already has a deep love for animals. She couldn't get enough of a fluffy rabbit during the playdate and she wouldn't leave the side of one very large dog named Mouse.

Queen Elizabeth has a longtime love of dogs – her fondness for corgis is legendary. And at 90, she still takes her beloved horses out for routine rides around the palace grounds.
