Unseen photo of Kate Middleton as a toddler is shared – and fans spot striking similarity to a little royal
ROYAL fans are all saying the same thing after an unseen photo of Princess Kate as a toddler was shared.
The cute snap, taken during a Middleton family Christmas in 1983, shows the young royal enjoying her festive dinner.
The image has been released ahead of her ‘Together at Christmas’ Carol Service airing on Christmas Eve on ITV at 7.45pm.
Young Kate is seen eating her Christmas meal, on top of a Marks & Spencer tablemat, while wearing a colourful beaded necklace.
Royal fans were quick to point out that one of Kate and William's children in particular is the "spitting image" of young Kate.
One person wrote: "OMG all I can see is little Prince Louis."
Another added: "I thought it was a picture of Prince Louis at first.. he is her mini-me."
A third said: "Beautiful picture and Louis is definitely her twin!"
The Princess of Wales hosted the special festive service - due to hit screens next week - at Westminister Abbey.
She was snapped dazzling in an all-white outfit, waving to crowds as she made her way inside.

The Princess was then joined by Prince William and their three youngsters.
Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince Louis looked gorgeous in their blue and maroon coats, as they held their parents' hands and headed into the festive event.
A teaser clip for the Royal Carols: Together At Christmas programme featuring Kate aired on ITV1 on Thursday.
In it, Kate said: "Join me this Christmas Eve for a special carol service, as we say a heartfelt thank-you to all those supporting the very youngest members of our society during those crucial early years."
The Princess dazzled when she hosted the carols last year, too.
The service, supported by The Royal Foundation, will honour those who work to support babies, young children and families in communities across the UK.
Linked to Kate's Shaping Us campaign, the service will showcase "the hope of new life and why it is so important to build supportive, nurturing worlds around children and the adults in their lives".
The Westminster Abbey choir will perform popular carols, alongside musical performances by the likes of Jacob Collier, Freya Ridings and James Bay, and a special duet by Beverley Knight and Adam Lambert.
