Princess Charlotte is known for her resemblance to her great-grandmother Regina, but royal eagle-eyed fans saw a sweet gesture that the young princess and her mother Kate Middleton have in common.
During a video call last week, the 39-year-old Duchess of Cambridge was seen reaching back to twist her ponytail during a conversation with teachers about how they coped with the blockade.
Kate was talking last Tuesday with Ribbon Academy staff when she stretched and wrapped her hair around her fingers, which had a low ponytail.
A fan account on Instagram noticed a resemblance to the manners of Princess Charlotte on the first day of school in September 2019.

Charlotte, now five, made the same gesture with her hair as she greeted Thomas’s Battersea’s head, Helen Haslem.
Her hair was dressed in a low ponytail when she arrived at school, accompanied by Kate and her father, Princess William, 38, and her older brother, Prince George, now seven years old.
Kate currently resides at their Norfolk residence, Anmer Hall, with Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, two.
During the appeal, the kingdom praised staff members for their hard work amid the Covid-19 crisis and urged them to continue to “take care”.
She said: “I wanted to thank the teachers from all over the country for doing great jobs. It was hard work, but please take care.

Kate has supported the annual Children’s Mental Health Week since it was launched in 2015 – to highlight the importance of the mental health of children and young people – by Place2Be, a charity for children’s mental health, whose patron is royal.
She spoke one-on-one with school teachers about the important work they did during the pandemic to support children and their families and thanked them for their efforts.
During the call, Kate asked the teachers a few quick questions about the fire and heard from Professor Ashleigh Sheridan and teachers Hannah Rispin and Louise Tweedie about how children cope during the pandemic.
In the meantime, he also heard how Place2Be supports the well-being of the entire school community, including teachers.
Kate marked Children’s Mental Health Week in late January with a selfie video while jogging in rural Norfolk.
The royal seemed to be speaking from the grounds of her home in Norfolk and wore a comfortable navy blue shirt with a huge fluffy bob and a navy blue quilted jacket.
In the video, she appealed to parents to “take care” of themselves in this “extremely challenging moment.”
Kate said that mothers and fathers must be “our best versions for the children in our care” to her.
Princess Charlotte – who was accompanied by her parents Kate and Prince William, 38, and her older brother, Prince George, now seven – turned her tail low as she greeted- on the head of Thomas’s Battersea, Helen Haslem.
The message comes after the royal parents confessed during the closure left her “exhausted” and joked that her children are retiring in “horror” when she became their hairdresser.
In her message, Kate said: “This year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is about expressing yourself – finding creative ways to share your thoughts, ideas and feelings.
“So, whether it’s through photography, art, drama, music or poetry – it’s finding those things that make you feel good about yourself.
“And while this is Children’s Mental Health Week, there has never been a more important time to talk about parental well-being and mental health.
‘Last year you told me how important this is, that many of us find it difficult to prioritize. This is an extremely difficult time for all of us, so please take care of yourself.
“Find those ways to share your thoughts and feelings or find someone to talk to, because we really need to be the best versions of us for the children in our care.”
