UK waitress Heidi Agan has been mistaken for Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge so many times, she’s quit her job to become a full-time look-alike.
The single mum of two says even her three-year-old daughter can’t tell the difference.
“When my daughter sees her in a magazine she points and says ‘There you are Mummy’. She’s turned into a right little royalist,” Heidi told the UK’s Mirror newspaper.
The 32-year-old, who until recently waited tables at a diner-style restaurant chain for around $10 an hour, has now signed up with an agency and is getting more than $1000 for each public appearance.
“It’s a huge difference from working in a restaurant and it pays better. It’s a really fun job as I’m doing something different every day,” she said.
Heidi is strikingly similar to Kate to look at, and when she donned a dress like the one Kate wore for her engagement announcement and had her hair styled in a similar manner for a recent photoshoot, it was almost impossible to spot the difference .
“People would come in [the restaurant] and point at me and say ‘That’s her!’,” reveals Heidi.
“I’ve had other people come up to me during jobs convinced I’m Kate.
Heidi says the most unusual request she’s had was to play a game of Twister with Prince William and the Queen look-alikes for a photoshoot.
“I guess people want to put us in real-life situations that they would never see the royal family in, like playing Twister,” she says.
