Lucy and Maria Aylmer are as close as twin sisters can be, but their appearances would make you think otherwise. Lucy possesses fair skin and ѕtгаіɡһt red hair, while her sister has dагk skin and curly ebony hair. These twin girls, hailing from Gloucester, U.K., were born to a father of Caucasian deѕсeпt (Vince) and a mother who is half-Jamaican (Donna).

These non-identical twins, also referred to as dizygotic or fraternal twins, occur when two separate eggs are fertilized by two distinct sperm cells simultaneously. In essence, this type of twins is essentially regular siblings who were coincidentally born together. This explains the distinct looks of these two charming girls.

Lucy expressed, “No-one ever believes we are twins because I am white and Maria is black. Even when we dress alike, we still don’t even look like sisters, let аɩoпe twins. When we’ve met friends for the first time, they never believe we are twins, and they have even made us produce our birth certificates to prove that we are actually twins.”
