Victoria & Charlotte
Paintings of the young Queen Victoria, intermingled with portraits of her cousin, Princess Charlotte of Belgium (the future Empress Carlota of Mexico) as a little girl. I was really struck by the family resemblance!

I think I see some resemblance between both Charlotte's and Victoria's face features with those of King Albert I. What do you think?
That is probably true, too. Nonetheless, I was struck by the fact that Victoria seems to have resembled her cousin, Charlotte of Belgium, the future Empress of Mexico.
The love of one's neighbors, the sense of duty, truth, and justice, if applied to daily life, would spare mankind countless sufferings, troubles, and anxieties ...
The solution of the problems which oppress the world can only be found in the practice of Charity between individuals and between nations.

I had not really focused on that before, but yes, I can see what you mean. For instance, in the photo here:

The expression and the look of Albert's eyes and nose does remind me of these paintings.
This is confusing. I thought the Charlotte that has a resemblance to Queen Victoria is Charlotte the Princess of Wales.
That is probably true, too. Nonetheless, I was struck by the fact that Victoria seems to have resembled her cousin, Charlotte of Belgium, the future Empress of Mexico.
