The scarf looked oversized on Charlotte and fell past her knees, a hint that it was borrowed from one of her parents! Princess Kate, 43, wore a similar plaid scarf with the same colors for Christmas at Sandringham in December 2024, while Prince William has previously slipped on scarves at chilly engagements.

They say “like mother, like daughter” and in the case of Princess Charlotte and Kate Middleton, the royal resemblance goes far beyond genetics—it extends right into the wardrobe. In a new photo posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram account for Father’s Day there's a subtle but sweet nod to Princess Catherine’s signature style.

There is a hidden detail about Princess Charlotte’s accessory in the photo released to mark Father’s Day on June 15 that many missed. In the photo—which features Charlotte and her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis posing with their dad Prince William—Charlotte appears to be wearing a scarf from her mom Kate Middleton’s closet.
