The internet erupted in speculation after Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, was seen shopping with Prince William in Windsor. While some doubted the viral video, others suggested the woman was Heidi Agan, a Kate Middleton lookalike.
Agan, who has impersonated the British royal family for 12 years, clarified that the woman in the video was indeed Kate Middleton. She explained,
“There has obviously been some speculation about whether it was Kate and William in that footage and stills. In fact, my own social media has gone crazy as people think it is me, but I know it is not. I was at work at the time so I know that is not me. I 100 per cent believe that is Kate Middleton and William in that video,” as reported.
Meet Heidi Agan
Heidi Agan, a former waitress at a UK burger joint, gained fame in 2012 for her uncanny resemblance to Kate Middleton.
Her website describes her as the most realistic Kate Middleton lookalike, with a portfolio that includes television appearances, newspaper features, and media events.
Working extensively in the UK and internationally, Agan has been flown to various countries such as the United States, Australia, and China.
Praised for her professionalism both on and off the screen, she takes her work seriously and is committed to delivering authenticity in her impersonation.
Where Is Kate Middleton?
Kate Middleton, 42, hasn’t made any public appearances since undergoing abdominal surgery for a non-cancerous, unspecified condition on January 16.
Amid speculations and controversy surrounding her “disappearance,” Kensington Palace released a Mother’s Day photo of Kate Middleton with her three children on March 10, intensifying scrutiny on the British royal family.
Reports surfaced alleging heavy and amateurish Photoshopping, prompting several agencies, including AP and Reuters, to withdraw the photo.
Later, Kate and Prince William acknowledged on their official account that she had digitally altered the photograph.
Some reports indicate that the royal family will soon provide details about Middleton’s recovery, with expectations of her returning to royal duties in April.
