“You’re twins!”: Kate Middleton look-alike goes viral
An Australian woman has gone viral on social media, thanks to her eerie resemblance to Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
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 The Crown’s upcoming season, per the New York Post.
“Okay you are all bullying me into actually doing this,” she captioned the clip, which came as a response to another user who tagged her in a clip from Monica Riviera, the casting director for The Crown.

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

“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 the clip, which has since garnered over 612,000 views.
“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.
“Thanks guys for being so nice.
“Back to painting.”
