Burger Waitress gets a new life and identity after discovering she is a lookalike of the Duchess of Cambridge
Overview
In a rather amusing twist of fate, a working mother of two left her previous job to become a full time Kate Middleton lookalike. Heidi Agan, 32, from Corby Northamptonshire, is frequently mistaken for Kate Middleton, so much so that even her young daughter fails to identify the 2 women apart. Her new found similarity helps her charge upwards of 650 pounds for every public appearance that she makes as the Duchess of Cambridge.
The Beginning
It all started when Agan started receiving compliments for her looks while working as a waitress in a local burger hangout. The compliments were not restricted to her workplace as she would encounter people on the streets mistaking her for the real duchess of Cambridge. But of all the compliments she endears the one received from her 3 year old daughter every time she came across photographs of Middleton on Magazines or Television
Life as a Look-a-like
Heidi left her job as a waitress realizing soon after that she can earn much more by becoming a full time look-a-like. She enlisted herself with Susan Scott, a London based lookalike agency and has since then donned some of the most famous outfits worn by the duchess including her engagement and wedding dresses
In addition to the above, one of the strangest requests that Heidi has received so far, was to be part of gig involving lookalikes of prince Williams and the Queen involved in playing a game of twister during a photo-shoot.
According to her, the idea behind requesting such a photo shoot was to get a chance to observe how the royals would have behaved when put in a real life situation like playing a game of twister among themselves.
Heidi being a mother of two, however, shrugs off any suggestions or requests of imitating some of the other famous antics of the celebrity she looks similar to. The most recent being the topless photographs of Kate taken by paparazzi, while she was on a holiday with Prince William at a discreet French resort in August this year.
Heidi felt that it was a sheer breach of privacy and grossly irresponsible on part of the paparazzi to have clicked topless pictures of the young princess without her knowledge and consent. She also added that since the princess was on a private holiday with her husband, it was especially wrong on part of the paparazzi to have taken those photos breaching their privacy and peace.
On a concluding note, Heidi opines that she is earning much more than she used to and enjoying every moment of it and feels the decision to become a professional lookalike was the best thing that could happen to her.
Compatriots
Heidi Agan has company from Kate Bevan, a 22 year old, pharmaceutical assistant Kate Bevan, who also left her job to become a full time lookalike. Bevan also agrees to the life-changing consequences of becoming a professional lookalike, as she happily quips about her various celebrity encounters after becoming a lookalike. She also adds talks about the financial incentives related to the job as was able to make ?3,000 pounds by working as a lookalike for Australian Television a day before the wedding of William and Kate.
