As Princess Lilibet celebrates her third birthday, fans continue to state she is her dad's double.

Royal fans previously pointed out baby Lilibet's uncanny resemblance to Prince Harry following the release of an image to mark her first birthday. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter, known as Lili, was captured smiling and dressed in a pale blue frock with a white bow in her hair at a birthday picnic thrown for her at Frogmore Cottage.

Harry and Meghan released the picture, taken by photographer and friend of the couple Misan Harriman shortly after celebrating her first birthday and social media users quickly noted the striking similarities between the tot and the Duke. They also compared the image to that of Harry as a one-year-old and joked the royal had "cloned himself".

One person wrote: "Lilibet Diana looks like her papa, Prince Harry," while another posted two snaps of the pair with a matching head of red hair and said: "Prince Harry and his daughter Lilibet photographed at the same age."

A third added after the youngster's image was released: "Prince Harry cloned himself. Happy birthday Lilibet Diana," alongside a smiling emoji, while a fourth penned: "If she isn't the spitting image of her dad, red hair and all."

Close family and friends were invited to celebrate the one-year-old's birthday at Windsor, where there was face-painting and cake, according to guests. A spokesman for the couple did not name the family members who attended.

For her third birthday, Lilibet is said to have been thrown an intimate party at her Montecito home. It's believed Meghan and Harry kept the guestlist small, with no members of the Royal Family present. While the Royal Family didn't attend the party, Meghan and Harry's close friends and family were in attendance. The couple had also invited some of Lilibet's friends, according to People.

Lilibet is the Queen's family nickname, which was first used when Princess Elizabeth was just a toddler and unable to pronounce her own name properly. She also has the middle name Diana, which was chosen in memory of her late grandmother.
