Princess Eugenie has sparked a debate about who her sister Princess Beatrice looks like after sharing a picture of a young Queen Victoria on her Instagram.
Marking what would have been the former monarch's 200th birthday, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson wrote alongside the picture: "Today marks the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria (1819-1901). She reigned for almost 64 years and I'm very proud to be named after her. The first image is a portrait of Queen Victoria by Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873) @royalcollectiontrust. The second is of Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend, who played Victoria and Albert in The Young Victoria (2009) - a film produced by @sarahferguson15".

It's one of my very favourites, she's very gifted," wrote a follower, while another said: "Oh I didn't know your mum produced it, very well done!" A third added: "OMG your mum produced it?
