The Crown are currently looking to cast a Kate Middleton lookalike for the sixth and final series of the hit royal Netflix show.

One woman, Brittany Dixon, who has been told by her TikTok fans that she is the spitting image of Prince William's wife, has revealed she has applied for the role.

Brittany, an artist from Australia, shares the same long brunette hair, bright eyes and sparkling smile as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis' mother.

After followers of her TikTok page started pointing out her resemblance to the royal, Brittany posted a collection of side-by-side images of herself and Kate to show the comparison.

At the time, she posted the video with the caption: "OK U ARE ALL BULLYING ME INTO ACTUALLY DOING THIS", followed by many laughing face emojis.

In a video uploaded just days later, Brittany revealed she has applied for the role, explaining: "I did end up applying, they just wanted a selfie and some general information, and a 30 second video of me talking about something I love – obviously I spoke about painting."

She went on: "We'll see how it goes, we'll see if they even see it, thanks guys for being so nice!"

Later that month, the apparent casting call notice was published online, and advertised that they were looking for an actress with a "strong physical resemblance" to Kate.

Actresses applying for the role have been told that they do not need previous professional acting experience to play the 18-year-old version of Kate.

The casting call notice revealed that shooting for the sixth series of The Crown will begin in August 2022.
