The photo was shared by Glamis Castle, in Angus, Scotland, which is the home of the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.
Posting the images online, the organisation wrote: ‘The youngest daughter of the 14th Earl of Strathmore, Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon married the Duke of York and went on to become Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother…
‘When our castle archivist was looking at photographs of a young Lady Elizabeth below, we all agreed that there is a striking familial resemblance with her great-great-granddaughter, Princess Charlotte. Can you see the resemblance too?’
Supporters of the monarchy said the comparison between the pair was ‘lovely’ and they had the ‘same smile’.

Twitter user Bree Symons said: ‘The resemblence is remarkable’.
Meanwhile, Instagram user Carla Tobal said: ‘They really look alike.
‘Beautiful pictures of the Queen Mother.’
The 14th century century Glamis Castle, in Forfar, was the Queen Mother’s childhood home.
Social media users were quick to agree the young princess looks very similar to her great-great-grandmother the Queen Mother
Glamis Castle has been the seat of the Bowes Lyon family since 1372. The most famous recent member is Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, better known as the Queen Mother.
The grandmother of King Charles grew up in Glamis and bore her second child, Princess Margaret, on the 16,500-acre estate. More than 100,000 visitors tour the 130-room castle every year.
The pictures emerged after a busy period for the little royal Charlotte, who recently started a new school, moved house and took part in a number of mourning events for the Queen.
Charlotte, seven, arrived at Westminster Abbey for her great grandmother’s funeral with a delicate silver horseshoe pinned to the lapel of her black coat.
Royal fans noted it looks identical to one owned by the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth, in the 1920s. It is thought she herself had received it as a gift from her mother-in-law, Queen Mary.
The Queen Mother, who married King George VI, then Duke of York, in 1923, wore the brooch for a portrait taken in 1929.
The delicate piece is shaped like a horseshoe and covered in sparkling gems.
It is a particularly fitting choice as the Princess of Wales has previously revealed how her daughter has inherited Her Majesty’s love of horses.
