Family Resemblances

[Linda_26]

Princess Astrid of Belgium resembles quite a bit one of her first cousins on her mother's side, Giovanna San Martino D'Aglié, here in the middle of the picture

And I also think that her brother King Philippe in his younger years looked a bit like another maternal cousin, Alessandro Ruffo di Calabria (here on his wedding day to Mafalda of Savoy-Aosta)

Victoria and Carl Philip strongly resembles their dad

Carl Philip makes me remember a young Carl XVI Gustaf

But where did Victoria get her very firm chin and jawline from? That wasn’t a huge characteristic of Carl Gustav’s face as a young man.

I think it's idiosyncratic to Victoria, unless it comes from somewhere on Silvia's side. Victoria is a pretty good mix of both her parents, imho. Actually, so are both her siblings. (I don't know what CG inherited from his own father, because I can never see anything but Sibylla looking at him.)

Much has been made of Estelle's resemblance to Victoria, and Estelle may have a somewhat similar jawline, but just not quite as pronounced.
