We all know that David Beckham is football royalty, but it seems that the royal link extends beyond his sporting abilities.

David recently shared a picture of his mother Sandra West and fans highlighted the uncanny resemblance between her and a famous royal.

In a sweet Instagram post celebrating the important women in his life for International Women’s Day, the father-of-four debuted an unseen throwback photo of his mother,

who is the spitting image of Princess Diana.

In the image, Sandra, now 73, is pictured cradling a newborn David. She is wearing a floral dress in shades of pink and orange with a white frill trim and is gazing lovingly down at her son.

The biggest similarity fan noticed between the mother-of-three and Princess Diana? A fluffy blonde shag hairdo that was an eighties favourite.
