Princess Diana's legacy continues to manifest in the vibrant red hair that runs through her family. Her siblings, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and Earl Spencer, famously sported this striking hair color, which was passed down to her son, Prince Harry. Now, it seems this genetic trait has made its way to Prince Harry's daughter, Lilibet, who, at three years old, is already capturing attention with her changing locks.
Recently, a video surfaced showing Lilibet with her brother Archie, following the unfortunate passing of their family dog, Guy. The video, shared by Meghan Markle, highlighted Lilibet's red hair, which appears to be lightening daily. This has sparked discussions about whether she will inherit darker raven hair like Princess Eugenie of York, who had similar strawberry blonde tresses as a toddler.
An unearthed photograph of Princess Eugenie at the age of one reveals a remarkable resemblance to young Lilibet. The photo captures Eugenie and her sister Beatrice boarding a royal barge, a moment that underscores the Scottish descent of Prince Harry's family. This resemblance adds another layer to the ongoing conversation about the strong Spencer genes.
"The Spencer gene is very, very strong. I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that should this go the distance and we have kids, there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes, but I was wrong!" – Prince Harry
In his memoir "Spare," Prince Harry expressed his surprise at the enduring presence of the Spencer gene in his children. He noted how Lilibet's appearance aligns more closely with his side of the family. This revelation came alongside the unearthed photograph of Princess Eugenie, drawing parallels between the two young royals and further fueling public interest in Lilibet's evolving look.
Eugenie's strawberry blonde hair and facial features bear a striking similarity to Lilibet's current appearance. Though Lilibet's hair color is becoming lighter, it remains uncertain whether she will eventually have darker hair like Eugenie's as she grows older.
