“You’re twins!”: Kate Middleton look-alike goes viral
<p dir="ltr">An Australian woman has gone viral on social media, thanks to her eerie resemblance to Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Brittany Dixon, an artist from Queensland, took to TikTok with a series of side-by-side photos of herself and the Duchess after a deluge of fans urged her to answer Netflix’s recent casting call for Middleton lookalikes for <em>The Crown</em>’s upcoming season, per the <em><a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/02/kate-middletons-twin-applies-to-play-her-in-the-crown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a></em>.</p>
<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-4c7445aa-7fff-9b6a-4b92-87b7b9fee909">“Okay you are all bullying me into actually doing this,” she captioned <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@brittanydixonart/video/7091536687943257345?_t=8RycV3L7Mcd&_r=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the clip</a>, which came as a response to another user who tagged her in a clip from Monica Riviera, the casting director for <em>The Crown</em>.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr">“We’re looking for a young Kate Middleton, 18 years old, to play her in Netflix’s series <em>The Crown</em>,” Riviera said in the clip, which included a screenshot of the role’s requirements.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Other users on the social media platform quickly flooded Dixon’s comments, insisting she’d be a shoo-in for the role.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I know exactly who you’re applying for no backstory needed - you’re twins!” one supporter said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“If you, her identical twin, [do] not get the part … I give up,” another joked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Please remember me when you’re rich and famous on ‘The Crown’ @Netflix,” a third wrote.</p>

<p dir="ltr">With all of this support, Dixon created a follow-up video confirming she did apply for the part.</p>

<p dir="ltr">“They just wanted a selfie, some general information and a 30-second video of me talking about something I love - obviously I talked about painting,” she explained in <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@brittanydixonart/video/7092218076527168770?_t=8RycbFx3TeE&_r=1https://www.tiktok.com/@brittanydixonart/video/7092218076527168770?_t=8RycbFx3TeE&_r=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the clip</a>, which has since garnered over 612,000 views.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“So we’ll see how it goes. We’ll see if [the Netflix casting directors] even see it,” she added, thanking her followers for encouraging her to do it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Thanks guys for being so nice.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Back to painting.”</p>
