UNCANNY ROYAL RESEMBLANCE — ISLA PHILLIPS, 14, LEAVES FANS STUNNED WITH A FACE FROM THE PAST Isla Phillips, the youngest daughter of Peter Phillips, is suddenly at the center of royal buzz after new photos revealed a striking resemblance to a young Prince Philip—and it’s one specific detail that has people talking: the exact same piercing gaze and sharp profile that once defined the Duke in his early years. At just 14, Isla has previously been compared to her aunt Zara Tindall and grandmother Princess Anne, but this latest comparison feels different—almost like history repeating itself in real time. Royal watchers are calling it one of the most uncanny likenesses seen in the next generation, as if a familiar face from decades ago has quietly returned. And the moment people noticed that one detail… everything changed.

The royal family were out in full force on Easter Sunday, with many fans noticing the younger generation stepping out to mark the occasion.
It was a particularly special day for Princess Anne‘s son Peter, who attended the Easter service at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle with his fiancee Harriet Sperling, his two daughters Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14, whom he shares with his ex-wife Autumn Kelly, and Harriet’s daughter, Georgina, 13.

Peter’s youngest daughter, Isla, has previously been likened to her grandmother, Anne, and once again sparked comparisons to her great-grandfather, Prince Philip, the late husband of Queen Elizabeth II.

Isla’s relationship with Philip
Isla’s great-grandfather passed away on 9 April 2021, aged 99. While some family members were unable to attend his funeral due to Covid restrictions, his memorial service in 2022 fell on Isla’s tenth birthday, allowing the family to pay their respects.
