It’s no secret that families tend to share features, after all, that’s just genetics doing what genetics does. But every so often, a resemblance pops up that feels a little too uncanny to scroll past. That’s exactly what happened after a recent post from Charles Spencer sparked renewed conversation about how much Princess Diana took after her mother, Frances Shand Kydd.
On April 17, Spencer shared a black-and-white throwback on Instagram featuring his mother and his eldest sister, Sarah. The photo shows his mom sitting in the grass with Sarah on her lap, while a dog lounges next to them.
“My mother and eldest sister Sarah in the garden of Park House – my siblings’ and my family home till 1975 – with an ever-present Keeshond (Dutch barge dog) lying contentedly and half-watchfully nearby,” Spencer captioned the image.
He continued, “This photograph – full of tenderness – was taken by my father. My parents and Sarah had just moved into Park House, on the @sandringhamestate in Norfolk, after a brief rental in the Cotswolds. It was a privilege to grow up at Park House. My mother is perhaps 20 here. She was only 28 when she had me, her fifth child. A different time.”
While Spencer was clearly reflecting on family history and memories of Park House, followers immediately zeroed in on something else entirely: the resemblance running through the family line.
“The family resemblance is very strong,” one person commented. Another wrote, “Your mum was so pretty, I can see Diana, your mum’s and the Spencer family had beautiful Genes, which have been passed to your daughters.” Someone else added, “Beautiful childhood photograph. I can see some of your late sister Princess Diana in your mother.”
And this isn’t even a new conversation. Back in January, Spencer shared another throwback photo, this time of himself as a child with his mother, and the same reactions rolled in again.
“My mother would have been 90 this month,” he wrote. “This is her as I first remember her, when she was 30.”
