Prince Harry has previously revealed just how much his daughter, Princess Lilibet takes after the Spencer side of the family, but did you notice the sweet resemblance between him and his uncle, Charles Spencer?

Just like his nephew and great-niece, Charles also used to sport flame-hued tresses like his fellow royal family members. One photo in particular from his engagement photoshoot with his first wife Victoria Lockwood saw the Earl's locks look particularly vibrant.

The photos were taken on the grounds of the Spencer family estate where Princess Diana is buried.

Prince Harry mentioned how much his daughter takes after his late mother's side of the family with her red hair and beautiful blue eyes in his Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan.

He explained: "I see a lot of my mum [Princess Diana] in Lili. She's very Spencer-like. She's got the same blue eyes…" Mum Meghan Markle chimed in: "Blue, blue, blue eyes."

 "Sort of like golden reddish hair," Harry added of his daughter, as home footage showed Lilibet wearing a floral romper and crawling across the Sussexes' garden in Montecito.

And it isn't just their youngest who has taken on Spencer-like traits. Despite saying that Prince Archie resembles his wife, Meghan Markle, fans couldn't help but notice the little one's reddish locks in a photo that was spotted on Meghan's desk. 

In 2021, Archewell released a clip featuring the Duchess of Sussex as she marked her 40th birthday where royal watchers saw the sweet photo of the young Prince playing in the sand sporting his red locks.
