Royals With Celebrity Lookalikes That We Only Just Noticed

If you’re a Hollywood casting director and you want someone to play Kate Middleton in a biopic, then look no further than Keri Russell. She not only has similar facial features to the Duchess of Cambridge, but she also has that gorgeous, long, flowing hair.

Amelia and Emilia! As well as having almost the same first name, these two look very alike when you put them side by side. Alas, though, despite being an heir to the throne, Amelia has almost no chance of becoming queen like Clarke’s Daenerys did.

When Kristen Stewart was cast as Princess Diana in the biopic Spencer, you’d perhaps have been justified in feeling a little skeptical. But then the first images from the movie came out, and Stewart looked shockingly like the late Diana. She was Oscar-nominated for her performance, too!

Allison Williams is delighted that people think she looks like Kate Middleton. She told SiriusXM’s Radio Andy in 2019 that she used to get the comparison “once or twice a week,” and that it was a “huge compliment.” Williams added, “She’s my dream person. She’s so elegant! I would faint in her presence.”

Queen Rania’s a very highly accomplished royal. She’s an advocate, an author, a UNICEF representative for children, and a member of the board of the United Nations. And she also so happens to bear a resemblance to beautiful actress Rose Byrne.

Remember when The Lord of the Rings came out and everyone went totally crazy over Orlando Bloom? Well, it turns out there’s another one of him — and he’s a prince to boot. Meet Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and his incredible cheekbones.

Dame Helen Mirren has even won awards for her resemblance to Queen Elizabeth! She picked up her first Oscar and multiple other acting gongs for her performance in 2006 biopic The Queen. But that wasn’t all — she also received numerous awards for playing the monarch on stage.

So, you might not think on first glance that Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Hollywood A-list actress Angelina Jolie look anything alike, apart from the brown hair. But look at pictures of them when they were younger and suddenly the resemblance becomes much more stark.

Pierre Casiraghi of Monaco is the grandson of a Hollywood legend turned royalty, Princess Grace Kelly. And it so happens that he has his own Hollywood doppelganger as well! Casiraghi looks a lot like the notoriously handsome British actor Jude Law.

Here’s another case of a celebrity/royal pair not only sharing a face, but very nearly sharing a name as well. Princess Charlene of Monaco bears quite the resemblance to another famous blonde beauty, Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron. And both women have lived in South Africa, too!

Prince Philip lived to be 99 in the end, but did you ever wonder what he looked like as a young man? Well, he looked… pretty much exactly like actor Matt Smith, actually. Which is probably why the producers of The Crown cast him!

Princess Eugenie and Kate Mara are both one half of a famous pair of sisters. And yet, they also look like they could be sisters themselves! The pair definitely have a lot of facial features in common, not to mention their hair.

Actor Michael Sheen’s portrayed a lot of famous people throughout his career on stage and screen, David Frost, Tony Blair, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart among them. Perhaps one day he can add another: Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. Because he looks just like him.

Harry Potter’s nemesis is apparently living in Belgium now! And not only that, but he’s also a member of the royal family! Prince Joachim of Belgium bears a very strong resemblance indeed to the man who played Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton. Maybe don’t ask him to cast any spells, though.

Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York City is a reality TV star first and foremost. And reality TV isn’t really associated with European royalty. And yet, it happens that Frankel bears no small resemblance to Queen Letizia of Spain.

The lucky lady who married Prince Carl Philip of Sweden is now Princess Sofia of Sweden. And her beautiful dark hair and bright eyes help make her a dead ringer for the striking The Affair star Ruth Wilson.

Tiffany Smith knew she looked like Meghan even before she played her in Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal. She told Glamour magazine in 2019, “The first time it happened was when she was on Suits and started dating Harry. People would come up to me and say, ‘Do you know who you look like?’”

Did Prince Carl Philip of Sweden get some amazing genes or what? As well as looking like Orlando Bloom, he also looks like Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan. But sorry, ladies — he’s taken! The prince is married to a very lucky woman named Sofia Hellqvist.

Meghan Markle and Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines aren’t from the same ethnic backgrounds, and they’ve taken completely different paths in life. Yet there’s no denying that these two accomplished women look similar. Oh, and they both married a redhead!

Meghann Fahy’s a rising star in the acting world. She’s already got hit shows Gossip Girl and The Bold Type under her belt. And if she’s looking for a new acting challenge, perhaps she could take advantage of her looks and play Princess Madeleine of Sweden?

Josh O’Connor, who plays Prince Charles — now King — in The Crown, knows exactly what facial feature he and Charles share. He joked to the Netflix Queue website in 2021, “There are maybe two actors I know with sticky-out ears, and I’m one of them.”

Meghan Markle and Jennifer Lopez don’t just share a worldwide level of fame, they also share some facial features and a lot of long, beautiful hair. And when both of them have it up in a bun, they look pretty similar as well.

Emma Corrin was a complete unknown before she portrayed Princess Diana in The Crown. And yep, she was one of the show’s best casting choices, because she wasn’t only the spit of Diana but also conveyed the princess’ personality flawlessly.

Have you ever thought Prince William and actor Robert Pattinson looked a bit alike in some ways? Well, there’s a good reason for that! According to genealogy researchers, they’re actually distant cousins, linked through the Yorkshire-based Pickering family. Who knew?

Actress Naomi Watts played the Princess of Wales in a 2013 biopic called Diana, and it was a complete and utter controversy-courting calamity. Even the harshest of movie critics would have to agree, though, that Naomi Watts does physically resemble the late royal.

Charlotte Casiraghi’s the granddaughter of Princess Grace Kelly, and is considered one of the most beautiful and fashionable royals in the world today. She shares that beauty with Sara Sampaio, a Portuguese model and long-standing Victoria’s Secret runway star.

The Crown obviously got a lot of things right, or it wouldn’t have become the massive hit it did. And one of those things was Erin Doherty as the young Princess Anne. She was absolutely spot-on in both acting and appearance.

Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge is actually not too far removed from royalty herself. Her parents were very wealthy and there are a few titled people in her family tree, including some baronets. Plus she has her own royal doppelganger: Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg.

Princess Sofia of Sweden has one of those faces that’d fit in perfectly in Hollywood. Another one of the actresses she closely resembles is dark-haired Friends star Courteney Cox. No one ever told her life was gonna be this way.

Social media users everywhere love that Prince Harry bears such a strong resemblance to red-haired Washington Commanders star Carson Wentz. There are memes aplenty! If they ever actually meet face to face — and it could certainly happen! — Twitter will probably explode.

Once she’d been cast as Queen Elizabeth in Steven Spielberg’s children’s movie The B.F.G, Wilton received a costume made by the same designers who created clothes for the real Queen. And that helped make her resemblance to Elizabeth even more uncanny!

Beatrice Borromeo’s the wife of Pierre Casiraghi of Monaco, and she’s a very good-looking and fashionable blonde. Perhaps you, too, think that she looks a lot like a Hollywood star who’s also one half of a power couple, namely Blake Lively?

Princess Madeleine of Sweden is one of those rare royals who’s on social media. She’s got an Instagram account where she posts pictures of her three kids and often herself. And you might think on seeing those Insta snaps that she resembles TV presenter Maria Menounos as well!

Some folks think that Netflix’s The Crown will cover Meghan Markle eventually, and they’ve eagerly looked around for actors who might play her. Jessica Parker Kennedy of The Flash is a popular choice, since she looks just like Meghan and is also biracial.

What is it with Naomi Watts and looking like royals? Not only did she play Princess Diana, but she also looks a lot like Princess Charlene of Monaco. Maybe it’s that gorgeous blonde hair, or maybe she has blue blood in her.

Tim Warmels became famous after appearing on The Bachelor Canada, though alas his relationship with April Brockman didn’t endure in the end. But if he ever wants another job, he could easily make it as a Prince Felix of Luxembourg lookalike.

Many British actresses have portrayed the Duchess of Cornwall over the years. But maybe there’s an American who deserves a chance as well. After all, Candice Bergen looks quite a bit like Camilla, and could certainly act the part.

So, Karla Souza of How to Get Away with Murder is Mexican and Chilean, while Princess Eugenie is obviously as British as they come. But there’s no denying that the two women look quite alike in terms of facial features.

Doesn’t Prince Philippos of Greece look like a Hollywood star? Maybe one in particular… yes, Prince Philippos bears a likeness to John Krasinski. And even more so when he’s looking directly into the camera like he’s on The Office!

Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark actually has German heritage, and so does actress Carmen Electra! The two blonde women — one of them TV royalty, the other actual royalty — look quite alike when placed side-to-side as well, despite their completely different career paths.
