Kate Middleton lookalike says ‘it wasn’t me’ in farm shop, adding of her royal doppelgänger: ‘I think she’s doing well but until then she needs to recover and heal’
Britain’s ‘most realistic’ Kate Middleton lookalike had revealed that ‘it wasn’t me’ pictured in a farm shop belonging to the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Professional Kate Middleton lookalike Heidi Agan, who has earned a living impersonating the royal for more than a decade, said she was not seen in a video of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor on Saturday.
Heidi said on ITV’s This Morning: ‘I wasn’t there. It definitely wasn’t me and I think it was 100 percent Kate and William in the video.”
Heidi thinks it’s time for the public to leave Kate alone. She adds, “I think she’s doing well. She will be back after Easter, as Kensington Palace says, but until then she must recover and heal.’
The 43-year-old, who heads a dancing and acting school, admitted that her work as a lookalike usually dies when Kate is ill – although the current situation has led to the opposite reaction.

To mark Mother’s Day, Kensington Palace posted a photo of the Princess of Wales with her three children on their official social media platforms on Sunday, March 10.
The video recorded on Saturday shows Kate carrying a shopping bag and walking quickly out of a farm shop with her husband – the first images of the future queen since her abdominal surgery in January.
The images published by The sun shows Kate walking quickly with a bag of groceries and talking animatedly with her husband on Saturday afternoon.
Heidi said that when the video hit the headlines yesterday, she was enjoying a cup of tea and coffee with her partner when her social media went ‘crazy’.
She added: ‘My partner and I woke up yesterday morning with tea and coffee and we couldn’t quite believe how angry my social media had become.
‘I didn’t know anything about it, but overnight it just went a bit crazy – it was a strange 24 hours.’
Heidi added that the video couldn’t possibly be hers as she was working at her other job at her dance school on Saturday.
‘I work here at the main office, so I was here on Saturday. There’s no way I could have been 80 miles away in Windsor.
‘There’s a lot going on here on Saturday, lots of witnesses!
Heidi added: ‘If the royal family is busy, that spills over into our lives too.
‘When she appears in the press, there is a lot of interest in my work. Normally the work dries up out of respect when she is sick, but this time it has gone the other way, which is really unusual.’
Heidi previously revealed how she chases Zara and TK Max to keep up with Kate’s expensive wardrobe, and can’t go out without being asked for a selfie.
The royal impersonator has been working professionally as a Kate lookalike at parties, meet & greets and other performances since 2012.
She now believes conspiracy theories about the princess’ health have gone too far, adding: “If the surgery is something she wanted to keep private, then [Kensington Palace] are right not to share more details.”

The film was a balm for millions of people in Britain and around the world, but crazy conspiracy theories are still swirling about Kate, despite The Sun’s video proving she is doing well.
The shopper who filmed the couple also claims it wasn’t Kate in the HD footage.
Former England cricket star Kevin Pietersen, 43, also slammed the ‘absolutely absurd’ and ‘bulls**t’ conspiracy theories about Kate and admitted he sees the Prince and Princess of Wales ‘most days’.
KP said: ‘The conspiracy theories surrounding Kate are absolutely absurd. We see W&K [William and Kate] most days and also in the last few days!
“I can’t believe people would be so ridiculous and cruel if they wrote BULLS**T on this platform, which is outright lies.
‘W&K are the most wonderful parents and as normal/humble as can be.
‘Let K who is recovering from surgery recover. Leave her and her beautiful family alone.”
Kevin Pietersen has previously tweeted about teaching cricket at Lambrook School, where William and Kate send their children.
It was previously reported that KP’s son Dylan, said to be a star cricketer in the making, is also heading to Lambrook.
Kevin Pietersen denounced conspiracy theorists on social media. He said: ‘The conspiracy theories surrounding Kate are absolutely absurd!’

The Prince and Princess of Wales clearly felt “at ease” being seen in public, otherwise they wouldn’t have gone out to buy bread together at their local shop, according to Jack Royston, chief royal correspondent for Newsweek.
He said, ‘They were not born yesterday. They do understand that they are at the center of a huge international news story. They must have felt comfortable with the risk of being photographed.
‘It’s so clearly Kate in the images. She is recovering from surgery and has no makeup on. She could take a DNA test and people wouldn’t believe it was her.
‘It has been very hard for a woman who has so much attention on her. She’s under so much pressure to look perfect, but she can’t be expected to look perfect all the time. It’s impossible and not fair.’
A source close to William made it clear yesterday that he was determined to ignore the speculation surrounding Kate, telling MailOnline: ‘His focus today is Homewards.’
MailOnline understands that the couple have become aware of much of what is being said and are deeply saddened and saddened by the often vile speculation.
