Princess Diana is renowned worldwide for her stunning beauty and graceful appearance, even 25 years after her tragic death.
While many might argue her looks were incomparable, as a recent portrait shared on Instagram by Diana's brother Charles Spencer revealed, one person whose appearance was very similar to Diana's was her mother, Frances Shand Kydd.

Over the years the former Princess of Wales and her mother were photographed together on many an occasion. Now here at HELLO!, we have compiled a selection of photos in which the two's likeness is obvious for all to see.
Windsor Polo Match

This connection between the two's appearance is amplified by the similar sunglasses both women were wearing. Diana's beautiful Catherine Walker light-blue dress also coordinated so well with her mother's polka dot attire that it feels like the two women must have decided on them together.
Viscount Althorp's wedding

While the two women decided to wear quite different outfits for the occasion, Lady Frances' blue dress highlighted the pair's identical eyes.

Wedding Rehearsal

Both women opted for long and lightly pleated skirts and once again chose clothing in complimentary shades of blue. Again, the similarity in their profiles is noticeable here, as is the fact they shared the same slightly curled hair.
British Virgin Islands Holiday

And while Diana's Jantzen leopard print swimsuit and matching skirt were very different from her mother's strapless and striped choice, this photo still shows how similar the two's figures and faces were.

Again the mother and daughter duo's similar wavy hair is evident, as is their taste in similar fashion – this time with regards to their jewellery.
