Yahoo Estilo Princess Charlotte wears uncle Prince Harry's hand-me-downs on royal tour
While Princess Charlotte is mini trendsetter, taking after her stylish mom, the Duchess of Cambridge, it turns out that she owes one of her latest fashionable accessories to her uncle Prince Harry. Fans who were hoping to copy the two-year-old's latest look may be disappointed to learn that the bright red shoes she wore for her arrival to Warsaw on July 17, can no longer be purchased. Charlotte appears to have worn hand-me-downs from her royal uncle as one eagle-eyed royal watcher pointed out.

Harry was pictured wearing the shoes back in 1986, when he was a little boy, about to turn two-years-old. The shoes that Harry and Charlotte wore, thought to be Start-rite, have the same bar strap, rounded edges, a beige sole and round buckle. And if you look very closely, Charlotte's shoes look slightly scuffed by the toes, another giveaway sign when you compare her pair of shoes to uncle Harry's old ones.

It's not uncommon for royals to reuse clothing and keep traditional pieces for future generations. Charlotte's older brother Prince George has previously worn their dad Prince William's clothes. At Trooping the Colour last year, George was the picture of cuteness as he recycled his dad's white shirt and blue shorts – an outfit that William wore back in 1984 to attend Prince Harry's christening. William also wore the blue and white outfit to Trooping the Colour in 1986.

George has also worn outfits that are emulated by William's old ones. For his sister Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015, the little boy looked adorable in red shorts and a red and white shirt. His look was virtually identical to his father's from 1984, when William met Prince Harry for the first time at the hospital.
