  • Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton, turned 6 on May 2.
  • In her birthday portrait, she looked like Prince William's twin.
  • Other photos show how similar she looks to her mom and Prince Harry when they were younger.

Perhaps more than anyone else in the royal family, Charlotte most closely resembled Queen Elizabeth II as a baby.

Charlotte has always had an uncanny resemblance to the Queen, even when she was a baby. As young children, they both had the same button nose and wide smile.

Charlotte's resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II is especially noticeable when it comes to her eyes.

Some people noticed how similar Charlotte looked to a 6-year-old Diana in her first-day-of-school photos. Charlotte has the same shoulder-length blonde hair and cheerful smile. Even their noses and complexions look similar.

As babies, Princess Charlotte and her grandfather Prince Charles looked similar, too.

It's easy to see where she gets her grin from.

According to Insider, Princess Charlotte's mother, Kate Middleton, took Princess Charlotte's portraits outside the family's home in Norfolk, England. The duchess has been known to photograph her family over the years.

Princess Charlotte's smile, eyes, and even hair color appear to mirror her dad's in the portrait.

Judging by these two photos from when they both were 3 years old, Princess Charlotte also inherited the Duchess' adventurous spirit.

You can even see the resemblance between Princess Charlotte and Prince Harry when they were both around 5 years old.

Their noses, smiles, and even their ears are similar. However, you can't ignore Harry's light red hair.

There's no denying that Princess Charlotte and Prince George often resemble each other, even down to their facial expressions.
