TWO OF ELIZABETH TAYLOR'S GRANDCHILDREN

She has quite a few grandchildren--  here are two from the Wilding side--

Tarquin Wilding, and Naomi de Luce Wilding.  Their grandfather was British actor Michael Wilding, Elizabeth's second husband.

 

Do you see a resemblance?   I think I can see both grandparents in them;  definitely the sort of lean, rangy looks of grandfather Michael Wilding.  There's Liz there too--  Eyebrows?  Naomi's beautiful eyes and widow's peak?  Something about Tarquin's gentle expression here, lower face? 

 

(Off topic--  "Tarquin" is a neat name from ancient Rome -- the Brits seem to favor it-- the only other modern Tarquin I'm aware of is Tarquin Olivier, Laurence Olivier's son...)

Famed photographer Yousuf Karsh caught Elizabeth as a young girl...

What similarities do you see?

I think they look more like the father than Elizabeth Taylor.

Tarquin Wilding might be a chip off the old block as far as some resemblance, but is his necktie suggesting that he is the black sheep of the family?

on the necktie, all the sheep are white except for one black sheep.

I could not visualize Michael Wilding so had to look him up.  

 

As much as I enjoy her as an actress, I know little about her personal life/family other than some of her marriages.  These three have shades of Elizabeth.

 

Love Tarquin for a cat's name!

@Witchy Woman -- you're right, it would be a great cat's name too!

 

Oh, that's interesting that the photo I posted of MIchael Wilding didn't show up on your device.  I can never understand why some images show up on other devices, and some not, but then, I have always been 'tech-challenged'...

I refuse to believe anyone is more "tech challenged" than me Cat LOL

 

I'm embarrassed to say, I simply overlooked his picture in your posting...it WAS there.  Not enough coffee!

I don't see any resemblance.
