Lady Kitty Spencer's resemblance to her auntie Princess Diana is often discussed. And it's fast becoming clear that Princess Charlotte shares a family resemblance with Kitty, her first cousin once removed.

Sharing a throwback snap on Instagram, Lady Kitty explained that she was excellent at horse riding growing up. And the photo also revealed that Princess Charlotte looks so much like a young Lady Kitty. As Prince William and Harry's cousin, this is somewhat unsurprising, of course, but interesting to see nonetheless.

Kitty captioned the photo, "Lexus Melbourne Cup here we come!! Channeling my inner jockey since 1992! 🐎 🏆 @lexusaustralia @flemingtonvrc #MelbourneCup #MelbCupCarnival #LoveCupWeek #ExperienceAmazing."

Charlotte's personality shines through every time that she's photographed, and it's adorable to find out that she takes after her dad's side of the family.

In her interview with BAZAAR.com earlier this year, Lady Kitty revealed that she entered the fashion industry on her own terms. She said, "I don’t think it’s my job to starve to fit into an outfit. If I’ve agreed to do something for a brand or whatever, I look after myself but I’m not obsessive or unhealthy. If a brand wants to work with me, and think their designs look good on me, then they can give them to me in my size."
