Prince Charles’ ‘Pleasant’ Facial Expression, Beautiful Smile Resemble Queen Elizabeth

Prince Charles, the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip got some facial features from both of his parents. In fact, royal fans are divided as to who he looks like the most.

But in an unearthed snap, the heir to the throne’s resemblance of Her Majesty cannot be denied. In the photo, Prince Charles seems to be in his early 20s and the Queen is also very young.

The mother and son duo are not looking directly into the camera. Rather, they are staring into the horizon with a huge smile on their faces. Prince Charles and the Queen’s teeth are also similar and the expression on their faces is also the same.

Upon closer inspection, the Queen and Prince Charles’ lips, eyes, and the shape of their faces are also very similar. The dad of two’s resemblance to his mother isn’t that surprising. After all, it is common for firstborn male children to resemble their moms more than their fathers.

But on the online forum site Quora, some royal fans also said that Prince Charles looks a lot like Prince Philip especially when the retired royal was much younger. A throwback photo of Princess Diana’s ex-husband shows Prince Charles with a thick beard. His scruffy look is quite similar to how Prince Philip looked when he grew his beard years ago.

Meanwhile, another royal that Prince Charles resembles is his younger son, Prince Harry. Side by side photos of the two shows that not only do they have the same face shape; they also have similar facial features. Their eyes, nose, lips, and eyebrows look very much alike.

Prince William, on the other hand, looks more like Princess Diana than Prince Charles. And when the Duke of Cambridge had his own children, it became evident that Princess Charlotte was the one who inherited most of his features.

This isn’t surprising either because it is common for firstborn female children to look more like their dads than their moms.
