At just three years old, Princess Charlotte is already showing incredible poise and confidence – traits that her great-grandmother the Queen is known for

Childhood photos of the monarch display an uncanny resemblance between the two royals, from their very similar hairstyles to the shape of their eyes and brow

But as well as their physical likeness, Charlotte and her Gan-Gan share the same passions and hobbies

Let's take a look at how Prince William and Kate's daughter is taking after Her Majesty…

Physical appearance.Many royal watchers may argue that Princess Charlotte looks like her dad William, but Charlotte appears to be a mini-me of the Queen

Looking back at old photos of the monarch as a child, it's clear that Charlotte shares the same distinctive eyes as the Queen, from the shape and colour down to the arch of their eyebrows

Early photos of the Queen show that she sported a similar style to that worn by Princess Charlotte, with their bobbed hair styled to the side and clipped back away from the eyes

Charlotte also has a similar colour hair to the monarch; while her brother Prince George has fair hair, hers is a light brown shade

Love of horses.The Queen is known for her love of all things horses, and even in her 92nd year, the monarch still enjoys a spot of horse riding in the grounds of her Windsor Castle home

Every year she also indulges her passion and attends Royal Ascot and the Royal Windsor Horse Show, to watch a series of events from races to show-jumping

While the Queen had her first riding lesson when she was three years old, little Charlotte started a bit earlier, with her mum Kate revealing to equestrian champion Natasha Baker that her daughter is already learning the sport

"[The Duchess] said Charlotte is really enjoying her riding which is great to hear," Natasha said after speaking to Kate at a reception in Buckingham Palace

"And I said we may see her here on a line-up in 20 years' time. She emphasised that Charlotte has this passion for horses and although she doesn't echo it, she'll do her best to champion and encourage it

".For her first day at Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington last year, Princess Charlotte also wore a Cath Kidston backpack that featured a horse print

Love of dogs.Her Majesty's corgis have been keeping her in good canine company for years

The royal received her first corgi, Susan, when she was 18, and even took the little pooch on her honeymoon with Prince Philip

She grew up surrounded by corgis as a young girl and has owned more than 30 dogs since 1945

Her pets have become an iconic part of the royal household; they even joined Her Majesty in a special portrait released for her 90th birthday

Like her great-grandmother, Princess Charlotte is also an animal lover and the proud owner of the Cambridges' pet dog, Lupo

During the family's royal tour of Canada in 2016, Charlotte was particularly taken by a large dog named Moose while at a children's tea party

The youngster had a whale of a time bouncing up and down on the golden retriever and poodle cross – leading many to wonder whether Lupo gets the same treatment at home!

Love of football.The Queen is said to be a football fan and a secret supporter of Arsenal

Footballer Cesc Fabregas revealed that the monarch told him she is "a fan" during a Buckingham Palace reception, while Prince Harry has previously said that most of the royal family are Arsenal supporters

The Queen is said to have inherited the footie bug from her mum and it seems Charlotte is also following suit, from her Gan-Gan and her football-mad father Prince William

The Duke has revealed that Charlotte is "showing more aptitude" for the sport than her big brother Prince George

During a visit to the National Football Museum, William told England women's team captain Steph Houghton: "George is sort of getting into it slowly, but Charlotte is showing more aptitude

" The royal children have also been spotted playing football in the gardens of their home, Kensington Palace

Perfect royal wave.From her public appearances, it's clear that Charlotte has already mastered the art of the royal wave, having learnt from the best

In June 2018, she sweetly copied her Gan-Gan as she waved from the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the family's Trooping the Colour celebrations

Charlotte was spotted looking over at the 92-year-old monarch and, not missing a beat, copied Her Majesty to perfection

Prince George and Princess Charlotte 'must follow STRICT rules under posh nanny' - Duration: 3:40.

 Maria Borrallo was hired by Wills and Kate to look after little George when he was just eight months old in 2014

 And Borrallo, who was trained at the prestigious Norland College, was kept on by Cambridges to continue taking care of their growing brood, which now includes Princess Charlotte and baby Louis

 But her blue-blooded young charges reportedly receive the same treatment from the discreet and professional nanny as any other young child in her care would

 According to the Sun, Borrallo takes a "no nonsense" Norland approach to her work

   Students at the Bath-based childcare school are taught the youngsters they take care of should follow some very strict rules – so it's likely George and Charlotte follow them too

 Louise Heren, a Norland College expert and author of Nanny in a Book, said: "There will be no messing

That's because Maria will be aware that as they step off planes, holding mum's hands, smiling and waving to the crowds, there can't be any crying or terrible twos or tantrums

" The youngsters will be expected to go to bed at 7pm on the dot every night and they always play outside – even in the pouring rain

 Louise continued: "There will be lots and lots of outdoor play, that's the one thing you could say Norland are old-fashioned about

Loads of fresh air. "Lots of bike rides, playing with their dogs, potentially some gardening

Norland are very into teaching children through play. "Yes you are getting mucky with your hands in the soil but you are learning how to plant

 "If it is tipping it down, they will still go out. Wet weather is just inappropriate clothing, you have to put the right stuff on

"  Louise also said that George and Charlotte are unlikely to be fussy eaters as they will be encouraged not to turn their nose up at anything

 And Borrallo is also key to preparing the royal kids for big public engagements with their parents

 Louise explained: "She'll say: 'This is your opportunity to show Mummy and Daddy just how wonderful you are, and you are to smile and be really good for them and then we can go inside and play

' "Maria will know their schedule. She will be doing a lot of explaining to them, what is happening

 "If the children have travelled on royal engagements, it will be jolly difficult getting the kids to bed because of the excitement and the timetable of events

 "When you see William and Kate go off to a function and the children aren't with them, they will be having naptime

"
