Breaking:King Charles looks identical to surprising royal relative

Published

King Charles III may no longer be the Prince of Wales, but did you know he looks so much like one of his royal ancestors who also bore the same title?

A young King Edward VII, the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, looked so much like his great-great-grandson King Charles in his 30s, as you can see from the striking image below. The pair had a lot in common, both ascending the throne later in their lives following the deaths of their monarch mothers Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth II.

The King shares a striking resemblance to King Edward VII

According to the Historic Royal Palaces official website, Edward was exceptionally well-travelled and had a passion for art. “In 1892 after the tragic death of his son, the Duke of Clarence, Edward commissioned Alfred Gilbert to create the Art Nouveau tomb at Windsor.

“This extraordinary tour-de-force of whiplash metal forms and sculpted figures is a fine memorial, located in the Albert Memorial Chapel, at St George’s Chapel, though it rather dominates in size and scale.”

He also used to gift his wife, Queen Alexandra of Denmark Fabragé eggs who had been introduced to Fabergé by her sister, Marie Fedorovna (from 1881 the Tsarina of Russia).
