Princess Charlotte, the middle child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, turned 5 on Saturday.
Kate Middleton captured new photos of Princess Charlotte, which show her helping to deliver food in the community.
Many fans of the British royal family have pointed out Princess Charlotte's uncanny resemblance to her dad, Prince William, when he was young.
Shortly after the new pictures of Princess Charlotte were released, fans pointed out that the young royal looks similar to one of her older cousins, Lady Sarah Chatto, the daughter of the late Princess Margaret.
In the photos that were released to mark her birthday, Princess Charlotte is shown helping her family deliver packages of meals to people in need. The young royal also posed for a formal portrait, which was also taken by the Duchess of Cambridge.
Photos of Princess Charlotte, the middle child and only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are often compared to pictures of Prince William from when he was around the same age.
Above, a photo from around 1969 shows a young Lady Sarah Chatto (then Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones) with her brother, Viscount Linley.
Princess Charlotte looked especially similar to her cousin when she wore a similar green coat and even, ironically, had her hair styled in a similar fashion during the family's Christmas celebrations in 2019.
Another interesting detail about the two distant cousins is that Lady Sarah Chatto's birthday is May 1, and Princess Charlotte's birthday is May 2. The cousins are some 51 years apart in age, but photos of the two taken around the same time of their lives have some pretty uncanny similarities.
