Princess Eleanor could have been inherited the properties of Victoria Louise of Prussia, the only daughter of the last German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II. She is the great-great-grandmother of the firstborn of the kings of Spain, and appears to resemble her physically. She is not the only royal to have inherited genetics from an ancestor, there are other examples such as Alexandra of Hanover or Beatrice of York.
Eleanor’s great-great-grandmother was the daughter of the last Emperor of Germany, Duchess of Brunswick and Luneburg by marriage and Princess of Prussia, she was born in 1892 in the Marble Palace of Potsdam, very close to Berlin. Despite the members running through the family tree between Leonor and Victoria, the physical resemblance between them is astounding. The Princess of Prussia was short, blond, blue-eyed and showed a strong personality and great intelligence. An adventurous young woman who had nothing to do, who loved outdoor activities and enjoying nature.
The eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has also inherited the appearance of an ancestor. Little Charlotte has absorbed the genes of Lady Sarah, Princess Margaret’s daughter. The truth is, her photos from when she was little can be confused with those of Kate and Guillermo’s daughter.
Beatrice of York bears a strong physical resemblance to Queen Victoria of England, sovereign of the British Empire and great-great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. The round face and the shape of the eyes and eyebrows are very reminiscent of this ancestor of Princess Beatrice, who seems to have inherited the physical features.
Princess Eugenie owes her physique to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the mother of Queen Elizabeth II. She was the wife of King George VI and at the beginning of her reign she was referred to as the Queen Mother, which is how she has always been known. Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter has the same nose and mouth as her great-grandmother.
His little sister is much more alike. The infanta is very similar to her great-aunt, Irene de Grecia, Doña Sofia’s inseparable sister. The Bourbon genes carry a lot of weight in the new generations. Single and childless, Irene from Greece develops a close relationship with her sister Sofía, with whom she spends a long time.
The Infanta Elena’s son bears a physical resemblance to Fernando VII, Carlos IV’s son, who in turn resembles Juan Carlos I. A cross of genes that leaves no member of Spanish royalty outside.
The most controversial member of the English royal family is a replica of his grandfather when he was young. The Duke of Sussex is very similar to Queen Elizabeth II’s late husband.
Carolina de Monaco has commented on occasion that her little daughter reminds her of her aunt Federica, Queen of Greece, and mother of Queen Sofia. Alexandra of Hanover seems to be a copy of her great-aunt, whom she resembles inside and out. It seems that the personalities of both of them are very similar, two very happy and trusted women who are also physically similar.
The genetics of the Bourbons do not forgive. Carlos IV of Spain, better known as ‘the Hunter’, has been reborn in the face of Juan Carlos I, who bears an unmistakable resemblance to this ancestor.
