Family Resemblances

[suztav]

I think the shake of Andrew’s face is Mountbatten.

[Lee-Z]

For me, of all QEII's kids P.Andrew has the least amount of the very strong Q.Mary genes
I'm not sure he has a relative he resembles completely, but i see some resemblance in David Bowes Lyon (brother of the Queen Mother)

[Pranter]

Andrew looks a lot like Queen Mary of Teck.

[O-H Anglophile]

I think Celia McCorquodale resembles her Aunt Diana (more so than Lady Kitty does despite the tabloids insisting Kitty does!) And Harry and his cousin George McCorquodale have a resemblance in facial features, (as well as the red hair.)

The resemblance is uncanny! There can be no doubting who her father is in the future if it were ever to come up. (I'm not implying anything by the way - just making a joke.) She has so many of his facial features, even down to the gap in her front teeth which Edward had before braces. James has his dad's teeth but I think he looks so much more like his mother's side - Sophie as a little girl.

I don't think Andrew resembles either of his parents but i'm sure there's a family member somewhere whom he resembles. He's also been a much bulkier build then his siblings and he's definitely taller. I'm also never sure who his daughter's look like - occasionally I think Beatrice looks like him but other times I think Eugenie looks more like him.

Andrew looks like the Bowes-Lyon side of the family while his siblings are more Windsor. As far as the girls are concerned, I've always thought that Eugenie looks like Queen Elizabeth (The Queen Mother) and of course Beatrice is Queen Victoria's doppleganger.

Yes, a definite resemblance

Beatrice looks like a cross between her father and mother...

Finally after reading all 23 pages over 14 years I will make my comments. The resemblances I notice most .
Prince Andrew and Peter Phillips, Diana and PW when young, Princes William and Edward now.
Sophie and Louise now.
Princess Anne, her mother, and Princess Alice her grandmother similar as very young children.
Princes William and George aged about 2. all three Cambridge children are very similar as newborns. People change over a lifetime, and different people can see different resemblances from similar photos. Sometimes, it can be simply an expression,. all in all, a very interesting discussion.

Charlotte bears a striking resemblance to her dad.

To me the 8th Earl of Carnarvon, Lord Porchestor, looks more like the Duke of York's brother than either Prince Charles or Prince Edward. If the rumor is true that Andrews' father is the 7th Earl of Carnarvon, then Prince Andrew and the 8th Earl would be half brothers. Their faces and especially their body types look similar.
Much more interesting to me is the striking resemblance between the 8th Earl's daughter, Lady Saoirse Herbert, and Andrew's daughter Princess Eugenie. If you Google Image "Lady Saoirse Herbert" be sure to use the quotes around her name or most of the pictures that come up are not her. I only see two pictures of Lady Saoirse there, but the resemblance to Eugenie is very clear. Same dark hair and same eyes. To me Lady Saoirse and Princess Eugenie look more like sisters than Eugenie and Beatrice!
If the rumors are true, then Lady Saoirse and Princess Eugenie would both be the granddaughters of the 7th Earl of Carnarvon. Looks like it to me! Anyone else see the resemblance?
I'm new here, but my understanding is that I cannot attach the Google images due to copyright concerns.

Hmm - strange question . Who was the last member of the British royals or on the Duke of Edinburgh's to have green eyes? Is this a resistive gene thing? It might just show up.

[Gloria0429]

There is a definite resemblance between Princess Eugenie and her second cousin Viscount Linley (Charles Armstrong-Jones).

Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor looks like her great-great-grandmother Queen Mary, whose features have been passed down in an unbroken line to King George VI, the current Queen, Prince Edward and now Lady Louise. All five of them resemble each other.

[Curryong]

I would add that IMO the shape and closeness of Queen Mary's eyes was inherited by Charles and his son Harry. Too early to say with Archie but he may well have inherited it as well.

[Hunter Keeper]

Harry looks a lot like a certain Spencer cousin.

[Curryong]

Who, Diana's nephew, George McCorqudale? He used to, but not since George became an adult.
Harry certainly resembles the Spencers in many ways, mainly in colouring, but the spacing of his eyes, forehead and the bridge of his nose are all Charles, and Charles inherited that eye spacing from Queen Mary and the bridge of his nose from his father, Prince Philip.

Edward has Hyperdontia (where there is more teeth in your mouth then needed ) It is possible that the Louise and James also have the hereditary condition. Freddy Mercury also had the conditions and unlike Edward didn't have them removed. Edward's extra teeth were removed and the Queen had them made into cufflinks for the 15 year old Edward. Which must be the strangest gift ever to give a kid in history.

[Supermac]

The Queen, George VI, and Queen Mary of Teck all have those same faint, slightly frowny eyebrows


as well as the same mouth and nasolabium.

It's interesting that Mary of Teck has such similar, close-set eyes to the Queen and her descendants, and yet the link between them, King George VI, seems to have more his father's eyes. I suppose it goes:
Mary of Teck with small eyes + George V with big eyes
George VI with big eyes with elements of Queen Mary's eyes + Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother with small eyes
The Queen with small eyes with elements of Queen Mary's eyes
