Take a peek ... Charlotte’ s the image of her great gran

- By Sarah Westcott

THERE may be almost 90 years between them – but there was no mistaking the striking similarity between the Queen and her greatgrand­daughter Charlotte as they peeped round the curtains at the world.

The monarch was pictured drawing the net drapes aside at Buckingham Palace and looking at the crowd ahead of a lunch in honour of her birthday last year.

Curiosity also later got the better of little Charlotte on Saturday who held the curtain back to get a clear view from Buckingham Palace’s balcony. Both wore the same pensive expression as they surveyed the crowds, with little Charlotte looking adorable in a traditiona­l smocked dress.

Her Majesty and Charlotte even appeared to share a similar sense in fashion with both sporting pink summer frocks featuring a delicate floral print.

The toddler is fourth in line to the throne.
