Countless fans quickly commented on the photo, with many writing that they actually thought the photo was of Charlotte, 3, at first!
“Princess Charlottelooks like you,” wrote one fan, while another added, “I also thought it was Charlotte!”

Although both Charlotte and her older brotherPrince Georgewent back to school this September, their parents didn’t share any photos from their first days this time around.
Insiders previously told PEOPLE that there won’t be pictures of the royal children every year.Prince WilliamandKate Middletonhave always made a point of treating school as a private area, so that George, 5, and Charlotte can grow up in as pressure-free an atmosphere as possible.
