Lady Marina Windsor Releases Rare Family Photo (& Fans Are Loving Her Beret)

Lady Marina Windsor just offered a rare glimpse of her personal life, and it included a sneak peek of her older brother, Edward, Lord Downpatrick.

This week, the 29-year-old royal shared a never-before-seen photo on her personal Instagram account that was taken during a winter stroll.

In the photo, the siblings are standing side-by-side, which only highlights their uncanny resemblance. Lady Marina is wearing a black coat paired with a plaid scarf and royal blue beret, while Lord Edward is donning a blue puffer coat that matches his knit scarf.

Followers flooded the comments section with heartfelt messages about the brother-sister duo. One person wrote, “Gorgeous humans.” Another added, “Love this photo!” Someone even commented on Marina’s hat, writing, “Back with another fabulous rare color beret.”

Marina and Edward are the children of George Windsor and Sylvana Tomaselli (AKA the Earl and Countess of St Andrews). They have one younger sibling, Lady Amelia, who’s a runway model for Dolce & Gabbana.

As Hello! magazine points out, both Edward and Marina have been excluded from the British line of succession due to their religious beliefs. The pair followed in the footsteps of their grandmother, the Duchess of Kent, who was sworn into the Roman Catholic Church. Lady Amelia is the only immediate family member who hasn’t been removed, but she’s way back in the 43rd spot (which is still pretty impressive).

Keep the pics coming, Marina.
