'I'm constantly mistaken for Kate Middleton - but my husband looks like Prince Harry'

A Kate Middleton lookalike has told how strangers stop her in the street to comment on her resemblance to the Princess of Wales - and she hopes to one day play her in hit Netflix series The Crown.

While the show may already have cast Meg Bellamy as the Princess of Wales, Dr Molly Brinkmann wouldn't say no if the opportunity came her way.

Dr Brinkmann, 35, says she loves being mistook for Kate Middleton - but admits her husband looks more like Prince Harry than Prince William.

The rival brothers are set to reunite this weekend in the UK for the Coronation - and Molly will be glued to the screen at home in Nashville, Tennessee.

The mum-of-two sees the likeness herself and says they style their hair and do their make-up in a similar fashion.

Luckily, considering her resemblance, she is a fan of the Royal family and is excited to see what Kate wears this weekend.

Molly, a vet, who lives near Nashville, Tennessee, US, with her husband, Ryan, 35, said: "It’s a compliment to look like her.

"I’ve always loved her. People say ‘holy cow, you look like Kate’ and ‘you should audition for the Crown’.

"Netflix can call me anytime. I can be the current Kate.”

Molly has always had strangers telling she looks like Kate Middleton for years but said she gets it more now after positing videos on TikTok.

She said: "I’ve been told for years in person that I look like her. Strangers come up and say 'you look like Kate'.

"They say ‘for a second there I thought you were her'. My TikTok blew up and people started saying it online.”

Molly says she can see the similarity "a little bit” - especially as she's got older.

She said: "As I’ve got older my appearance is more like her.Our hair and style is quite similar. When I’ve got my hair curly it looks more like her.

"We do our make-up similar. I see the similarities a little bit. I think she is beautiful. It’s fun and flattering to be compared to her.”

Molly also gets compared to other famous Kate’s but doesn’t see the similarities with them.

She said: "I get Kate Upton and Kate Hudson. I don’t see it. We’re very different. It’s so funny - it’s all the Kate’s.”

Her husband Ryan, who teaches personal finance, goes along with the likeness and was even told he looked like royalty.

Molly said: "He’s like 'yeah sure’ when people say I look like her. He doesn’t look like a William. He looks more like a Harry but not really.

"These women turned to us once and said to him 'is there royalty in your blood?’ It was so random. We asked why and they said of Ryan – ‘you look like you could part of a Royal family’.”

Molly is theatre trained and is keen to play Kate in Netflix’s The Crown.

She joked: "Somebody needs to call me.”
