  • Turns out Chrissy wasn’t the only known bully that Meg invited onto the show. David Chang has serious anger issues and has bullied staff

Someone on Twitter has put all the ‘rare’ photos of the children together in a series of posts, there are a LOT of photos, especially as they are all photos only released by their parents.

The thing is, with all these carefully obscured images—whether from the back, in profile, or at a distance—you can actually piece together a fairly clear idea of what the children look like. I feel I already have a strong impression of both, and in Lilibet’s case, I’m confident I could even pick her out in a lineup. My suspicion is that part of the reluctance to share unobstructed photographs stems from their resemblance to Thomas Markle. If the children bore a stronger likeness to Diana or the late Queen, I suspect we’d be seeing far more of them.

FleurDeFleur · 03/09/2025 12:10

I thought they said that Lilibet had blue eyes, like Diana?
I wish they'd just keep them private and not invite speculation like this. It doesn't matter if the children have blue eyes, who cares.

I agree, I think in all likelihood they, or at least Lilibeth from what we have seen of her, resemble the Markles, I think the photos of Archie showed a strong resemblance to Meghan.

its kind of funny how the Sussex squad are excitedly claiming the kids look just like the Spencer’s, which Harry also said on US TV, yet the only good looking one of the Spencer’s was Diana, and William is the one who looks most like her.

FleurDeFleur · 03/09/2025 12:14

It's like some weird eugenics thing, though, isn't it? So desperate for the kids to resemble Diana. Why can't they look like Doria?

Lunde · 03/09/2025 12:22

Thedom · 03/09/2025 10:57

If the kids don’t look like the Spencer’s, the Sussex squad will go into meltdown.

They look like Diana's brother, Earl Spencer but from what H&M have posted, they don't look a lot like Diana.

AtIusvue · 03/09/2025 12:24

A pic of the kids was revealed from a Xmas card Gloria Steinem received and had left on view in her apartment.
Archie looks like Meghan, Lili is very much a Markle. Neither look like Harry’s side at all.

I know, right? They seem almost obsessed with making the kids “Diana’s doubles.” Funny thing is, I’ve never heard William or Catherine go on about that. The only thing I remember them saying was that Louis is the only one who really takes after Catherine.

Honestly, the only grandchild who has even a touch of Diana in him is George, and that’s more in his expressions. Face-wise he’s a mix of the Windsors (King George VI) and Johnny Spencer. Charlotte looks way more like the late Queen and Sarah Chatto, and Louis is basically a mini Michael Middleton.

At the end of the day, that’s just genetics. Kids can take after all sorts of people in the family tree. William has always looked like Diana but has grown into his Windsor looks as he’s got older. Harry always had more of Philip in his face with the Spencer colouring, and Meghan used to look a lot like Thomas with Doria’s colouring before the cosmetic work. It makes sense that they would look more like Thomas Markle, and the Markles are also clearly a red head family, so the ginger was always going to come out in their kids.

@EmpressSisi don’t you think George looks like Michael Middleton? I have to say when W was young, I never noticed how much he looked like his dm. He had a lovely head of hair!

I’ve never really thought that about George, to be honest. But I was looking through some photos of the young Charles Spencer and then Johnny Spencer, and I just couldn’t believe how much George takes after him.

Michael was quite the fox when he was younger 🤣🦊

according to Harry ….

‘Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair, he told us, self-effacingly, as he marveled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers,”

From the images Meghan is posting, Lilibets hair length is average and doesn’t look thick at all, on the contrary it looks quite wispy.

all the speculation about their looks, good and bad, has been fueled by their parents, that’s the crux of it !

I think there’s a lot you could read into their focus on their children’s hair, none of which reflects well on them.

Mylovelygreendress · 03/09/2025 15:04

Archie’s hair is a beautiful colour but I thought Lili was blonde ?

I suspect the children are simply just not very comely. The boy in particular looked a little strange in that South Africa shot, but maybe it was just a stage and he will grow into an Adonis, -like his father-. Meanwhile , all the teasers are necessary for future merchandising opportunities.

What an utterly horrible post you should be ashamed.

ThePoshUns · 03/09/2025 15:18

Yes Harry has definitely said previously she had golden hair and Blu blue eyes

MaturingCheeseball · 03/09/2025 15:28

It’s odd - I think most people would like their dcs to resemble their side of the family - or at least not look too much like their mil !!

It’s all rather insulting to Doria not to get a look-in on the name nor be mentioned on the appearance front.

FleurDeFleur · 03/09/2025 15:31

It just shows you how they regard Doria in all this.

Words · 03/09/2025 15:32

Others have put it better, I own. Not comely enough for Meghan Markle - that is, more Markle than Windsor, perhaps - rather sad if that is indeed how she thinks.

But children's faces have a certain plasticity and evolve over time. Many children in my family who were terribly unfortunate looking as children grew out of it. Brains matter far more in the real world, in any event. We can’t all be good looking.

Perhaps personality matters more? Being decent and honest, having integrity, treating others well. I think those matter more.

She definitely had blue eyes in her first birthday photos at Frogmore. And bright red hair. The latest back of the head photo shows it's still red, maybe a bit darker. I don't know where Harry gets golden from but he clearly wishes that his daughter looked exactly like his mum and that's a recipe for all sorts of trouble. Lili will be her own person.

FleurDeFleur · 03/09/2025 15:45

As a poster said on a previous thread -
"Their daughter was called Princess Lilibet Diana for a reason".

It’s very strange that they seem to emphasise how white and English their dcs look when they were the ones who caused a massive fuss about a senior RF member speculating about the colour of their baby’s skin.
I think it’s a shame that both W and H named their dds after the paternal dgm and neither of the maternal dgms got a look in.

Charlotte is Pippa’s middle name and Elizabeth is Carol and Catherine’s middle name as well as being her GGM.

Isnt the name Carol derived from Charlotte (or the other way around) I think the name Charles is from the same root as as well

FleurDeFleur · 03/09/2025 16:00

Yes, I read that with Charlotte they were honouring Charles and Carole.

JSMill · 03/09/2025 16:01

Aah ok. So it’s just H and M then.
