It\u2019s no secret that families tend to share features, after all, that\u2019s just genetics doing what genetics does. But every so often, a resemblance pops up that feels a little too uncanny to scroll past. That\u2019s exactly what happened after a recent post from Charles Spencer<\/a> sparked renewed conversation about how much Princess Diana<\/a> took after her mother, Frances Shand Kydd.<\/p>\n On April 17, Spencer shared a black-and-white throwback<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mother and eldest sister Sarah in the garden of Park House – my siblings\u2019 and my family home till 1975 – with an ever-present Keeshond (Dutch barge dog) lying contentedly and half-watchfully nearby,\u201d Spencer captioned the image.<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cThis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u201cThe family resemblance is very strong,\u201d one person commented. Another wrote, \u201cYour 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.\u201d Someone else added, \u201cBeautiful childhood photograph. I can see some of your late sister Princess Diana in your mother.\u201d<\/p>\n And this isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mother would have been 90 this month,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThis is her as I first remember her, when she was 30.\u201d<\/p>\n Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox?
