Kate Middleton has left fans enchanted with a childhood photo that bears a striking resemblance to her youngest son, Prince Louis. The Princess of Wales, in the newly released throwback picture, appears to be every inch her 5-year-old son's carbon copy.
Eagle-eyed Instagram followers couldn't help but marvel at the resemblance, with many dubbing Louis as Kate's "mini me" and the "spitting image" of his mother. Social media users flooded the comments section, expressing disbelief at the uncanny similarity between the two.
One follower exclaimed, "You're absolutely lying, this is Louis." Another remarked, "I thought it was a picture of Prince Louis at first," emphasizing the close resemblance. A third commenter noted, "The Middleton gene is visible" in both family members.
Kate and Prince William welcomed Louis in April 2018, adding a new member to their family alongside older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The youngest royal has garnered attention for his charming antics, from blowing out his sister's candle during a Christmas Carol Service to stealing the spotlight with funny faces on various occasions.
In their 2023 Christmas card photo, Louis behaved impeccably, although some Instagram followers pointed out a seemingly missing finger in an apparent "Photoshop fail." Despite the observation, fans continue to adore the adorable Prince Louis, celebrating his resemblance to his mother, Kate Middleton.
