I don't know, I think he looks more like his father than his grandfather. I see little William in him.

I see both of his parents in him. When he was younger he looked so much Like WIlliam. It doesn't matter who he looks like he is as cute as a bugs ear. I think Charlotte looks like William in that picture of him and George.

I don't see any resemblance either. Except for the plaid shirts. The SHIRTS are the twins in these pics!

I think that Louis looks exactly like that pic of William!!! I don't think George has ever looked like William. I think George and Charlotte favor their Mom while Louis favors his Dad.

I see them the total opposite of you but the beauty of it is none of us are right and none are wrong. We just all see things differently.

George is a good-looking boy. I think he resembles Catherine a bit more than William, but I see William in him, too.
I don't think Harry has altered his appearance, but Meghan has had quite a bit of cosmetic work. Even so, I don't see their children resembling Harry or Meghan. Do the children even look like each other? However, could be that Lilibet resembles Meghan's dad. So few photos it's hard to tell.

Plus , older photos quite often differ from our newer ones that are taken. When they were all watching tennis, boy George looked like William. Charlotte just looked cute in her sunglasses...

These are definitely William's children! /photo/1 What I see, so very clearly (that to me, is much more important than who-looks-like-whom), is the love of both William and Kate for the kids! Look how happy and comfortable and natural they so often look in pictures --- and how both Kate and William seem to be very loving, very hands on, very affectionate parents. Their photos very much remind me of the loving pictures of Princess Diana when she was photographed with the boys! It's heartwarming!

I think the kids look more like each other---in other words, a mixture of both sides of their families---than specifically like either side. But which side of the family they resemble more may change as they age, too. I used to think that the young William looked very like his mother and not at all like his father, but as he's grown up, I can see more of his father in him.

I think it goes without saying that we all see things differently because this happens to all of us within our own families. My husband's uncle felt our older son looked just like my dad. My neighbor felt our older son looked just like my husband. Both would say it was "uncanny" and yet, as the mom, I couldn't see it either way. I totally agree with, tilden. Which side of the family that they resemble will differ over time. And their resemblances to each other will differ, too. Our younger son is a dead ringer for my husband now, and although I still don't see the resemblance our neighbor saw with our older son to his dad, there are times when I have to do a double-take because our two boys will make the EXACT same facial expressions! For me, "twin" means duplicate, unless you throw in the word "fraternal" - a quick search at old People articles will show that they often use a twin reference in articles about the Royals. As Imperfect1 said to me, it's just clickbait, pure and simple. The only thing twining in those particular photos were their matching plaid shirts.

Or are you just referring to her maybe having a deviated septum fixed like so many of us have to do? Recently photos were taken of Harry holding his little girl at a Fourth of July parade. Whereas the tabloids in the UK were willing to blur her little face, tabloids here would not. Saying Lilibet may resemble Thomas for no particular reason seems unkind... to Meghan, and to the child.

Wait 'till they're at least in their late teens to judge who in their family they look like. Picky, picky, picky. All it does is judge small children.

Hmmm.....I don't think any of the FoRT FANS here are being picky or judgy .... I think we are all just making an OBSERVATION!!! I have FOUR GRANDCHILDREN .... the minute they were born everyone from family to friends were inquiring who the babies looked like; their Dad or their Mom. None of my kiddos every felt like their children were being judged in any respect. The other day Kaitlin (my DIL) texted me an adorable pic of 2yo Wyatt ..... she said "this pic so has to remind you of Michael at 2yo" (who is my son). OBSERVATION!!!! Not being judgy. Wyatt is Michael's mini-me!!!

Exactly, momrek06. Everyone just gave an opinion of who they thought the children look like, and in the end it doesn't matter. They are all beautiful children.

Harry's are, William's are, mine are, yours are... I get what you are saying, totally. I'm all about not labeling or putting a child in a category - just let things roll and see how they turn out! Let them make their own mark in this world rather than follow in someone's footsteps. Thing is it's like a curse that never ends. People have been doing this from the beginning of time. Sometimes it comes out as a real compliment and sometimes not even close. At my father's wake someone I'd never met told me I looked just like him. He's laying in a casket and this is what they say to me!

I don't agree with labeling or putting kids in categories or expecting them to follow in someone's footsteps, either. Never have. I think this topic has been blown out of proportion. To say or see a resemblance in a child is SO common. That is ALL that is meant by opinions on who these kids resemble. To be told I look like my deceased father would make me feel very honored. That would make me proud. But, I don't look like my dad, and have always been told I look like my mom. That's fine, too. We look like who we look like, and people are always going to comment who that is. To me, it's just a topic of conversation, not a curse.

I'm not a cold fish. The person I referenced was a complete stranger who was just nervous (as so many of us are at wakes) and felt he had to say something... anything. If he had said I looked like a (my maiden name), that might have made a little sense, but I didn't even get the impression he knew our family, I think he only knew Dad. Probably they worked together? Idk. All I know is that he specifically said that I looked just like Dad, which isn't even kinda sorta true, but not to worry, I was extremely gracious. I was grateful for everyone who came that day. This is now feeling like a beaten horse so I will be on my way.

Meghan was brought up Hollywood: two nose jobs, veneers, added boobs, removed boobs, chemically straightened hair. Minimal if to compare to her contemporaries. On-screen, Meghan was the blow job girl; she was the suitcase girl; she took her clothes off and participated in sex scenes. Off-screen, she is photographed with other Soho House yacht girls. It's the life she chose and the life she led. She altered her physcial self to fit the parts. Lilibet resembling Meghan's father is something to be ashamed about? At least she resembles someone. Can't say the same of Archie. I found and, because it was only a couple of bucks on eBay, bought the Meghan collector's magazine. I'll post a bit of it here as I find time.

That's the Daily Mail (barf) which holds no water in my view, but if there is any truth to it, that would put her in a category with Demi Moore, Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway.
With regard to work being done, I guess someone would need to explain to me why Kate's highlights or Meg's straightened locks would interfere with seeing a resemblance to their children. Or their veneers, when their kids all clearly still have at least some, if not all, of their baby teeth. And breasts... where does that fall into play? It just doesn't.
I don't think any little girl would want to be compared to a burly woodsman.. Especially when that man angered the Queen and in turn, humiliated her mum on the world stage to feed his own interests. If it was said she had his eyes or his smile, well then okay, I guess if we saw pics depicting that possibility, I could get behind that, but to just randomly suggest that she may look like Thomas seems like a dig rather than an observation.

Or their veneers, when their kids all clearly still have at least some, if not all, of their baby teeth. And breasts... where does that fall into play? It just doesn't. I was wondering about that as well. Personally, when I said the kids looked like each other, and thus probably a combination of both parents, I meant it as a non-judgmental observation. I didn't mean to imply anything about whom or what they should grow up to be, and I would imagine they'd never hear nor care what I thought anyway. I'd also think they've probably heard, as most of us likely have, whom they supposedly resemble from people they do know. All that aside, I really don't get what appearance enhancements either mother may or may not have had necessarily plays into the resemblances as neither are unrecognizable from what they looked like in the past. I also really don't understand how the conversation veered off in the direction it took from relatively innocuous discussions of whom Kate/William's kids might resemble into, well, what it's become now. Oh, yeah, and I neither know nor care whether George or Louis or Archie will inherit the male pattern baldness that seems to run on their paternal sides, but I do notice no one's talking about the men's looks at all. Just for the record, when I mentioned I thought William started looking more like his father as an adult than he did as a child, that's not what I was talking about--and I think both William and Harry still have eyes that look more like Diana's than Charles'.

All good points, tilden. I feel like this convo has taken on a life of its own, too. Part of why it veered somewhat, I believe, is due to comments that Harry made in his book re his upbringing. All eyes are on every move that these children make and sometimes it's a question of what came first, the cart or the horse. Was the child said to be a rebel so he started acting as one? Harry felt as though his narrative was written for him, and wonders how his life would have been different if that hadn't happened. One thing he knows for sure, he doesn't want that for his children, and a step toward preventing that is to not allow them to be photographed as it lessens the chance that they can be categorized with statements such as "all boy" or "twin". And for some of us that seems wise on his part. I never once felt that you were being judgmental. I think judgment only comes when it veers into categorizing and/or labeling.

And I suspect this generation of princes/princesses are more widely scrutinized because there are more venues though which to do that. Harry and Will basically had newspapers and television to deal with at their ages. They didn't get hit with social media coverage until they were much older.
My hopes for all of them is that they aren't yet aware of how much coverage there is of them and that by the time they are, they have support in dealing with it. Though I wonder if they aren't already very aware, especially since every time Louis is in public, there seems to be extraordinary attention paid to what a five-year-old boy will do next. Personally, unless they're in a position where what they're doing could be dangerous (eg. running out into traffic, behaving inappropriately around an animal etc.) or are trapped in a potentially dangerous situation, I'm not particularly interested in what other people's five year olds are doing, regardless of whether they're royal or not.

Same. In fact, I would strongly suggest they not be exposed for reasons such as what is currently being discussed in the miscellaneous celebrity thread with regard to Kristen Bell.
The worst part about the internet is not only has it led to a plethora of bullying, but all of these headlines will live in infamy. These children are bound to stumble on to them at one point or another in their lives.
