A newly surfaced video of Prince William and a woman resembling Kate Middleton at a farmer's market near Adelaide Cottage has reignited conspiracy theories about the Princess of Wales using a body double.
The footage, released by TMZ, shows the couple appearing joyful as they exit the market, marking one of Kate's rare public appearances since her abdominal surgery earlier this year.
Amid lingering questions about Kate's prolonged absence, some royal enthusiasts and online commentators have speculated that the woman in the video might not be the real Duchess of Cambridge, but rather her professional lookalike, Heidi Agan.
Who is Heidi Agan?
Heidi Agan gained recognition for her striking resemblance to Kate Middleton and was recruited as a professional lookalike for the future Queen of England. Initially working as a waitress, Agan's life took a dramatic turn after the royal wedding in 2011.
Quitting her job to pursue a career as a Kate Middleton lookalike, Agan reportedly earned up to £10,000 per week impersonating the Duchess. Reflecting on her unconventional career path in a 2017 interview with Business Insider, the single mother attributed her success to a stroke of luck and her initial job as a waitress.
"I'm incredibly fortunate for how things turned out. If it weren't for my time as a waitress, I would have never ventured into this line of work," Agan said, recalling how a customer first encouraged her to embrace her resemblance to Kate.
While Agan has become a well-known figure in her own right, her uncanny similarity to Kate Middleton continues to stir curiosity and speculation, particularly when the Duchess maintains a low profile.
