: Yesterday, I visited an exhibition about the
: splendour of the Romanovs in Monaco. There I
: saw a portrait of Tsar Paul I of Russia and
: had the impression, that there's a strong
: resemblance to Crown Prince Frederik of
: Denmark. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to
: take photographs, but I found a pic of a
: similar portrait of the tsar:

: Today I searched the net for a possible
: relation between Crown Prince Frederik and
: Tsar Paul I and found out, that the Tsar is
: the CP's grand-grand-grand...(6) father (via
: his grand-grandmother, Duchess Alexandrine
: of Mecklenburg-Schwerin).
:
: On the British Royal Message Board was some
: time ago a discussion about another
: resemblance beteween a member of the today's
: Royal Family and an one of her ancestors
: (Princess Beatrice of York and Queen
: Victoria).
:
: Am I the only who thinks that there's a
: resemblance between Crown Prince Frederik
: and his ancestor?

I cupped my hands around the face in the portrait to block out the hair and then the resemblance is startling. How very discerning an eye you have to have picked the similarity in looks despite hair and clothes.
