Prince Harry lookalike says he earns £1,000 a day despite 'Megxit'

A Prince Harry lookalike who feared he'd lose work after 'Megxit' says business is booming again - and he often makes 'four-figures' a day. Rhys Whittock, 39, says demand has been sent skyrocketing by the Duke of Sussex's ongoing court cases, book launch and coronation appearance.

The doppelganger - who signed to an agency in 2017 - had thought Harry's 2020 bolt for the US with wife Meghan Markle would kill off his livelihood. But the royals' continued public appearances mean Rhys is working harder than ever - and he says his work won't be affected by the outcome of the litigation brought by the prince - "as long as Harry is on the front pages".

Rhys said: "I was a bit concerned that it was my job over. But it became quickly apparent they’d remain in the media and public domain. I knew I'd be fine as long as that’s the case - and arguably [Harry and Meghan are] more in the spotlight than ever before."
