King Charles the Spitting Image of a Female Relative?

golding76 — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 01:55:57 GMT

Some people are saying that King Charles is the spitting image of a female relative born 150 years ago, Princess Victoria.

Hmm, I wouldn't say spitting image, but there is a very strong resemblance between the facial features of King Charles and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine (yes, you read that puzzling moniker correctly).

Princess Victoria was Prince Philip's grandmother.

I see similarities in the nose, chin, eyes and earlobe.

When I was married to my first husband, my mom told him he looked like Prince Charles. He was not happy to hear that. 😏

@golding76 Not sure about Charles but Prince Philip was the spitting image of her.

@golding76 Yes, I see the resemblance.

My DIL looks like a young Queen Elizabeth and my granddaughter looks like Princess Charlotte.

@golding76 - I see a strong resemblance! I always thought he resembled his father's side of the family. The older Prince Edward gets, the more I think he resembles his mother.

Yes they do look very much alike including those rather small, close set eyes. It would be fun to see comparison photos when they were both younger.

The Princess had such an interesting life. The King looks like her a bit.

Sitting next to the Queen and Queen Mary on the other side.

I know I'm in the minority but I always thought all of the queen's children resembled her, or at least her side of the family. Price Philip; not so much, if at all.

I felt the same way and I think it was due a great deal to all of Queen Victoria's children's children marrying each other. I love my cousins but mercy I cannot imagine kissing any of them. uggggggggggg

The eyes and area around them are incredibly alike. The nose is similar and so are the checks.

beckyb1012, thank you for searching for and finding that photo of the young Princess Victoria. One can actually see the resemblance more clearly between the two figures when looking at the young Victoria.
