YOU’D BE SURPRISED! THIS PHOTO OF CATHERINE, PRINCESS OF WALES, HAS SPARKED A LOT OF DISCUSSION
You will be surprised that Catherine, Princess of Wales, has revealed a previously unseen photo of herself as a child. Fans of the royal family have come to marvel at the resemblance between Prince Louis and little Princess Kate in the new, unknown photo.
Kensington Palace has revealed a baby photo of Princess Catherine dating back to 1983 in honour of the upcoming holidays. In this photo, the Princess of Wales is almost two years old: a month before her birthday.
She is pictured during the Middleton family dinner in honour of Christmas. Dressed in a dress and a knitted cardigan, the future royal sits at the table with a serious expression, typical of at least the Crown Prince’s wife.
The photo was published to once again draw attention to Princess Catherine’s Shaping Us project, where she discusses mental health issues and highlights the importance of childhood in shaping adulthood.
“Sharing holiday memories this Christmas because the message of the Shaping Us campaign is the critical importance of the early years of life and the role that those around us play in further shaping a child,” the palace captioned the touching snapshot.
Fans of the British royal family immediately noted Catherine’s resemblance to her youngest son. Here are some of the comments left on the Internet: “That’s Louis sitting there”, “How Louis looks like his mum!”, “Unbelievable, Louis is indistinguishable from his mum”, “What a cute little baby! Louis looks just like his mum.” They wrote in the comments.
This touching photo of the little Princess of Wales is an advert for Catherine’s Christmas concert, which was on 9 December, but it will be broadcast on Christmas Eve, the evening of 24 December. Many members of the royal family attended this concert. The Prince and Princess of Wales also took their three children with them.
Kate Middleton’s Adorable Childhood Photo Proves Prince Louis Is Her Twin
Kate Middleton shared a throwback baby photo of herself on Dec. 18—and fans of the Royal Family were (yet again) quick to point out the resemblance she bore to Prince Louis.
Looks run in the Royal family.
Kate Middleton shared a throwback Christmas photo to promote her early childhood Shaping Us campaign on Dec. 18—and her followers couldn’t help but note that the Princess looks almost eerily similar to her youngest child, Prince Louis.
In the 1983 photo, a 2-year-old Princess of Wales sits at a table in front of a place setting and lit candles as she looks intently toward something out of shot. Baby Kate also wears an adorable collared blue shirt, a cardigan and a colorful beaded necklace.
The Princess’ followers were quick to see the uncanny resemblance Kate shares with her 5-year-old son in the photo and sounded off in the comments. “I think we can all agree that Louis is the splitting [sic] image of his mother,” one user wrote. “The Middleton gene is visible.”
Another one quipped, “Prince Louis is definitely his mummy 2.0.”
In addition to sharing the sweet picture, the royal shared more details on her early childhood development campaign, and wrote in the caption: “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.”
This isn’t the first time Kate’s followers have seen the resemblance she bears to her son. In another Instagram post the philanthropist shared back in February, her followers also pointed out that Baby Kate could be twins with her youngest.
Louis—who is fourth in line for the thrown after his father, Prince William, and siblings Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 8—has captured hearts across the world for his adorable charm, personality, and, obviously, inheriting his mother’s good looks.
And while Kate’s baby photos may always inspire a flood of love for Prince Louis, read on to see the Princess of Wales’ best—much more recent—looks.

The Princess of Wales has shared a picture of herself as a child ahead of a royal carol service which will air on Christmas Eve.
The picture, taken in 1983, shows a rosy-cheeked Kate, aged almost two, sitting at the Christmas dinner table.
It was released on social media by Kensington Palace after Kate hosted her Together At Christmas event at Westminster Abbey earlier this month, welcoming her family, members of the monarchy and inspiring individuals in celebration of those supporting children and families.
