Lady Sarah Chatto shares the similar twinkling blue eyes and dark hair as actress Emilia Clarke

Lady Sarah Chatto, daughter of the late Queen’s sister Princess Margaret, turned 60 earlier this year.

However, there’s no denying that as a younger woman, Sarah bore a striking resemblance to British actress Emilia Clarke, 37.

In particular, a photo of Lady Sarah smiling on her wedding day in July 1994 is remarkably similar to the Game of Thrones star and her own smile.

Both also share a similar hair colour and twinkling eyes.

In February, Emilia had her own interaction with royalty when she was made an MBE by Prince William at Windsor Castle.

She was given the honour along with her mother for their work establishing a brain injury charity.

The pair look remarkably similar and are also the same height.

Despite their physical resemblance though, the two women’s lives are miles apart.

Former Olympian Princess Charlene, 46, married Prince Albert of Monaco in 2011 and now has twins, Jacques Honoré Rainier and Gabriella Thérèse Marie.

While Oscar-winning Charlize, 48, has never been married but adopted two children in 2012 and 2015.
