Spot the difference: Princess Beatrice looks strikingly similar to her mother

With their flowing red locks and long black gowns, you would be forgiven for mistaking Princess Beatrice and the Duchess of York for sisters.

Both mother and daughter chose dresses with cinched in waists, but while the Princess opted for a daringly plunging neckline, the Duchess gave at least some admission to her years by opting for a more demure v-neck.

Sarah Ferguson also opted for a more forgiving fabric than the tight satin chosen by her daughter.

It's not the first time the pair have dressed alike. Last year Princess Beatrice even confessed she saw herself as "a mini-mummy."

"She leads by example and her behaviour is one that I'd really like to follow," Beatrice told reporters.

The 19-year-old Royal and her 47-year-old mother arrived in their strikingly similar outfits for a 'Children in Crisis' charity event at the Dorchester Hotel in London. The charity was founded by Ms Ferguson in 1993. It provides education projects in 10 countries around the world and helps over 250,000 children each year.

While Sarah arrived without a partner, Beatrice had her American-born boyfriend Dave Clark in tow for the fundraiser.

The loved-up couple have been dating for over a year after being introduced by Prince William and insiders say her parents think he is a "healthy influence."

Mr Clark, 26, works for Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic space project and recently took Beatrice on a gravity defying 90-minute flight aboard G-Force 1 for a birthday treat. With his current job, Mr Clark may even be able to offer to fly her to the moon one day.
