Princess Lilibet

Prince Harry previously gushed about his daughter's locks whilst appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The Duke explained his late mother, Princess Diana's Spencer side of the family has exceptionally strong genes.

"The Spencer gene is very, very strong," he explained, with his mother's siblings  Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Charles Spencer, all having naturally red tresses.

He added: "I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan Markle] that should this go the distance and we have kids that there's no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife's genes, but I was wrong!"

Baby Minnie

Stacey Dooley welcomed her first child, Minnie, with her partner, Kevin Clifton back in January. The little one inherited her mother's iconic red locks which Stacey often documents on her Instagram account. 

The journalist first revealed her little girl's hair colour to the world back in February on Valentine's Day.

She penned: "My Valentines. The loves of my life.  I dunno what I did to get SO lucky.  To the best dad and man in the world ….. happy vally’s darlin. Ps….. you’re on nights when u get home from tour.

"She's got your hair colour, oh she really must be a mini Stacey!!" one fan commented immediately.

Sienna Mapelli Mozzi

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's daughter Sienna, two, sparked a major reaction from royal fans when her fiery locks were revealed. 

The couple have kept photos of their little one out of the public eye, but in April 2023, in a new photo shared of the late Queen Elizabeth II, little Sienna's hair didn't go unnoticed when she was captured in a photo in the background of the picture.

The image showed her dad Edoardo holding Sienna at what appeared to be her christening in April 2022 at the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace.
