Have you ever seen someone who looks exactly like a famous person? Well, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has a real-life lookalike named Heidi Agan. A recent viral video showed a woman shopping with Prince William, sparking rumors it might NOT be Kate. But was it really her? Let’s find out!
Windsor Farm Shop on Saturday
Last Saturday, a viral video showed Kate Middleton with Prince William. This caused a big online stir, with some people speculating it might not be the Princess of Wales since she just had a major surgery and might still be recovering. Many netizens think the woman might be her lookalike, Heidi Agan, who immediately discussed the situation online.
Heidi’s Work as a Lookalike
Heidi isn’t a secret agent for the royals! She’s a ‘professional lookalike’ who appears at events and dresses up as Kate. She’s been doing this for over ten years and has even been featured in newspapers and TV.
- Professional Lookalike: Simply means a person who distinctively has a similarity in facial features, build, etc. to a celebrity or known individual who entertains people by dressing up like them.
Why the Confusion?
So why did people think Heidi was Kate? They share many similar features – hair color, smile, and even style. Sometimes, it can be hard to tell the difference, especially in a short video clip.
Keeping Things Straight
Thankfully, Heidi could clear things up and let everyone know it wasn’t her in the video. She said, “I think it was [a] 100% her.” Heidi even emphasized that she was working at that moment as a dance and musical theatre group teacher.
“I think she’s alive, she’s well, she’s fine, she’s just recovering… It’s a shame you know, if you’ve had a major operation, you just want to be with your family, you want to recoup, and she doesn’t get that luxury… I think now is the time just to leave her alone and she’ll come back when she’s ready.”

The Conspiracy Theories
After the video above emerged online, many conspiracy theories arose because people thought the woman they saw wasn’t Kate Middleton. Some point to differences in facial features, height, and even her walk.
People still have doubts about the video. Others even speculate that her absence might be linked to her relationship with Prince William.
Netizens believe she might still be recovering from abdominal surgery. They think a double was used to show the public she’s okay and avoid worry. Despite all this, we hope the Princess of Wales is well and will soon address the public to clear up these rumors.
