The Princess of Wales just shared a very nostalgic throwback photo – and people can’t help noticing that it looks just like another royal.
Yes, five-year-old Prince Louis — arguably the most iconic member of the Firm, known for his very expressive displays at formal events — is definitely Kate Middleton’s doppleganger.
On Monday, Kensington Palace’s social media accounts delighted royal fans by posting a throwback picture of the Princess of Wales as a toddler in 1983.
It’s part of the royal’s campaign Shaping Us, which the Palace explained in the caption is about “the vital importance of our early years and the role played by those around us in shaping the rest of our lives.”
Sharing some festive memories this Christmas because #ShapingUs is all about the vital importance of our early years and the role played by those around us in shaping the rest of our lives.
