After countless royal family throwback pics and never-before-seen snaps, we’ve (a) learned that the royal family genes are really strong and (b) begun to wonder what other distant royal relatives share an uncanny resemblance.

Recently, Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Amelia Spencer, 30, shared gorgeous honeymoon photos taken with her husband, Greg Mallett, 33. As far as similarities go, the young royal (who is the daughter of Diana’s younger brother, Charles Spencer) definitely looks a lot like her late aunt, aka the former Princess of Wales.

Yesterday on Instagram, Amelia Spencer posted a photo slideshow that captured memorable moments from their honeymoon vacation in Coco Bodu Hithi, Maldives. (FYI, the newly married couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in South Africa last month.) 

The first pic shows the newlyweds sharing a romantic kiss on the beach. And it didn’t take long for royal fans to notice the striking family resemblance (particularly when compared with the 1990 beach pic of Diana below).

Amelia Spencer wrote in the caption, “The first few days of our magical honeymoon [vacation emojis] @coco_resorts #cocomoments.”

This is certainly not the first time we’ve noticed the uncanny likeness between royal family members. Last weekend, Prince William, 41, and his oldest son, Prince George, attended a soccer game between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest at Villa Park in Birmingham. 

The 9-year-old royal practically looked like his father’s mini-me as they both made the funniest facial expressions while watching the two teams face off against each other.

Like we said, the genes are strong in this fam.
