Prince Harry lookalike Rhys Whittock is already being flooded with enquiries after news broke that Harry and Meghan are planning to move back to Britain. Whittock, regarded as one of the nation’s leading Prince Harry lookalikes, expects business to boom now the Sussexes have confirmed they are returning to the UK.
Sussexes to return to Britain
Prince Harry and Meghan plan to move back to Britain in a shock development more than six years after they relocated to the US. The Sussexes are returning to the UK later this month, making their home in a non-royal residence outside of London, and have already enrolled Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in British schools.
It is understood there will be no change to Harry and Meghan’s role and status as private individuals and non-working members of the royal family. They are expected to remain financially independent and continue their commercial and charitable work, while Harry is not expected to undertake official royal duties.
Lookalike sees surge in demand
This is fantastic news for Rhys Whittock, who is already being flooded with enquiries after news broke this week, reports Daily Star. Rhys says his resemblance to Harry has remained remarkably consistent over the years, something he believes has helped him stay at the top of his game and ahead of his rivals.
Rhys normally earns a couple of hundred pounds per appearance, although fees and perks vary depending on the job. One of his wildest jobs took him all the way to Macau, China, where he was hired for a billionaire’s birthday party.
He added: “It was an incredible experience. I got to stay in a beautiful hotel and was treated like royalty. I’ve travelled all over the world doing this job, and that’s one of the best things about it.”
Now, he expects Harry and Meghan’s return to Britain to bring another surge in demand. He added: “I’m expecting it to get super busy now. This is definitely good news for me.”
Estate agent hopes to help Harry find a palace
Alongside his lookalike work, Rhys is an estate agent, meaning Harry’s return could give him the perfect excuse to combine both careers. He joked: "Harry is going to be looking for a house, so I’d happily show him around some suitable properties. I’d be more than happy to help him find a palace.”
Rhys shared: “I’d love to meet Harry one day, shake his hand and thank him. He has genuinely changed my life. I wouldn’t have met my wife or had my daughter, who we named after Princess Diana, as I met my wife at a London Fashion Week event during an appearance as Harry.”
