Kate Middleton matches with Princess Charlotte for Christmas lunch as fans gush 'absolutely gorgeous'
They look beautifulRoyal fans have been left gushing over new photographs of Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte, as the mother-daughter duo were “matching”.
It’s Christmas season and the royal family is in full working mode – especially with Kate’s Christmas carol service having just taken place. It’s always a very busy time for them, as they have a number of public engagements to go to.
And on Tuesday (December 16) they all attended a pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace. But royal fans were focused on how both Kate and Charlotte, 10, looked very alike.
Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte attend pre-Christmas lunch
Every year, King Charles hosts a meal for his family at Buckingham Palace, before they head to Sandringham for Christmas.
This year was no different, and quite a few of the royal family made an appearance. And this was probably a happier year for them, as last Christmas both Prince William and Kate didn’t attend the lunch due to her cancer treatment, and neither did their kids.
So, when the photographs were posted online, fans were thrilled to see they had made their return. But even more, many were excited to see how Kate was matching with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Charlotte could be seen in the back of the car, travelling with the rest of her family. She was wearing a red ribbon in her hair, which was in a half-up style. And the bow matched her red dress.
But it appeared Charlotte looked like a mini version of Kate, who also had styled her hair the same way, and was wearing a red dress.
The Princess of Wales wore a red Alessandra Rich printed dress, with a black bow in her hair. And in some of the photos, she could be seen smiling into the back of the car to speak to her children.
While Kate’s bow matched Charlotte’s, and the girls were both in red dresses, the mum-of-three’s choice of a black bow also subtly matched her son’s ties. How cute!
Royal fans gush over the mother-daughter duo
Taking to social media when photos of the pair were published, fans were quick to comment on how alike they were dressed. And some even thought Princess Charlotte looked like another member of the family.
One fan shared the pictures, alongside the caption: “The Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte matched in bows for the annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.”
This sparked a huge amount of comments, with many fans gushing over the royals.
One said: “How absolutely gorgeous to see!”
Another added: “So sweet to see the mother and daughter twinning,” with a heart emoji.
“You can tell she has her mother’s grace and elegance,” a third penned, while a fourth wrote: “Two gorgeous princesses!”
A few others couldn’t help but notice Charlotte’s resemblance to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
“Charlotte is looking more like her grandmother every day,” one said. Another commented: “She looks a bit more like the late queen when she smiles. Especially from the front.”
