Princess Charlotte is mum Kate's spitting image in off-guard Wimbledon moment

Princess Charlotte had royal fans doing a double take at Wimbledonafter a candid moment in the Royal Box highlighted her striking resemblance to her mother, the Princess of Wales. Wearing almost identical sunglasses and sharing the same thoughtful expression, the mother-and-daughter duo looked remarkably alike as they watched the men's singles final last weekend. 

The future Queen, who is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, was accompanied by her family as they watched her present the Wimbledon men's trophy to Jannik Sinner for the second year in a row. 

Kate, 44, looked elegant in a green Emilia Wickstead dress, which she paired with a coordinating wide-brimmed hat. Meanwhile, Charlotte looked equally beautiful in a vibrant cornflower-blue dress featuring flutter sleeves. 

The young royal finished the look with a delicate gold charm bracelet and wore her hair half-up, allowing the length of her glossy locks to take centre stage.

Not only were Kate and Charlotte wearing near-identical glasses, but many noticed the ten-year-old royal debuted her longest locks yet, wearing her brunette hair in soft, flowing waves that were strikingly similar to her mother's signature style. Charlotte's glossy "mermaid hair" fell well below her shoulders in loose curls, with the front sections swept neatly back from her face. 

The resemblance between mother and daughter was unmistakable as the pair arrived hand in hand, with Kate also wearing her chestnut hair in cascading waves over one shoulder.

Princess Kate and her children congratulate Jannik Sinner

After the match, Kate and her family congratulated Jannik on his victory over second seed Alexander Zverev. The Princess told Sinner it was "really inspiring" for George and Charlotte to watch tennis played at his level. 

The royal said: "You've had such a fantastic tournament so really, really well done." The Italian sportsman asked George if he was still playing tennis, to which the 12-year-old responded: "Yeah, very much so." 

The Princess then told the two-time Wimbledon champion: "It's really inspiring for the children to see tennis at that level."
