They say “like mother, like daughter” and in the case of Princess Charlotte and Kate Middleton, the royal resemblance goes far beyond genetics—it extends right into the wardrobe. In a new photo posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram account for Father’s Day there's a subtle but sweet nod to Princess Catherine’s signature style.

Princess Charlotte was spotted appearing to make a touching fashion tribute to her mother, Princess Kate, by eagle eyed royal fans. In the Father's Day portraits released by the Wales family, the 10-year-old princess was spotted wearing a particularly special accessory once sported by her mother.

The scarf looked oversized on Charlotte and fell past her knees, a hint that it was borrowed from one of her parents! Princess Kate, 43, wore a similar plaid scarf with the same colors for Christmas at Sandringham in December 2024, while Prince William has previously slipped on scarves at chilly engagements.
