There’s been a debate over the years about which side of the family Prince William and the new Princess of Wales’ (formerly known as Kate Middleton) children take after the most.
Some say that Princess Charlotte really resembles her late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and others think she looks identical to Princess Margaret’s daughter Lady Sarah Chatto. Meanwhile many believe that the Waleses’ youngest son, Prince Louis, looks just like his grandfather Michael Middleton. But when it comes to Prince George, the majority of fans are convinced he’s a Spencer. And to prove it a video of how much he resembles his late grandmother, Princess Diana, has been circulating on the internet.
