Prince Joachim of Denmark and his wife Princess Marie have piqued the interest of royal watchers for many years.

The younger brother of Crown Prince Frederik, Joachim has led a colourful life, welcoming no less than four children into the world - two elder sons with his first wife, Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg and a young daughter and son with his now-wife Marie.

The family's appearances are undeniably glamorous - Princess Marie is a royal style icon, while Joachim's eldest son Nikolai, 20, is a real life model.

But there's another reason why the world can't get enough of this royal family - and it's all to do with some striking similarities to their closest relatives.

If you were to take a quick glance at Joachim, Marie, Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary, you might well confuse one for the other - in the best way of course.

We take a look at the family's life in pictures - and see the similarities for yourself!
