A Prince Harry impersonator is expected to earn around $6,330 from the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations next weekend.
Rhys Whittcock, 38, told MyLondon that he had 12 events lined up, with each job paying between $633 and $886. Since Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle in 2017, he has earned a fortune by mimicking the Queen's nephew.
Prince Harry Lookalike Profits From His Appearance
In addition to attending corporate and personal occasions, Rhys has flown around the world to make a millionaire happy on his birthday and won a year of free air travel thanks to an EasyJet lookalike competition. Rhys also advertises his job on Airtasker, a local services marketplace, for individuals searching for Jubilee entertainment. He also has agents and advertises himself through his website and social media.
Events like Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding and the Queen's Jubilee are extremely profitable for the Southwark resident, who previously won an EasyJet competition for the best Prince Harry lookalike in Europe, winning him free flights for a full year.
The majority of the Londoner's job consists of meet and greets or events, as well as photoshoots. He owns a variety of clothes, including a reproduction of Harry's military uniform, which is a popular favorite. Rhys obtained the uniform from a military surplus seller and had reproductions of Prince Harry's decorations manufactured.
Rhys is invited to events all around the world and offered opulent privileges while working two jobs a day during peak times. According to MyLondon, he was once flown out in business class to Hong Kong for a billionaire's 75th birthday celebration.
They were so taken with everything British Rhys said that they built a replica of Buckingham Palace in the hotel lobby and had a birthday cake shaped like a royal carriage brought out, according to Mirror.
Real Prince Harry at Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not be on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour, but they will be present for another Platinum Jubilee celebration with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royal family. The pair will fly from their California home to the United Kingdom. The couple, who are in London with their two children for the weekend of festivities commemorating the monarch's 70 years on the throne, is likely to attend a thanksgiving ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday, June 3, according to The Telegraph.
Many members of the royal family, including Prince Andrew, the Queen's son, who is no longer a working royal owing to his involvement with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, are expected to attend. Some of the Queen's older great-grandchildren, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are anticipated to attend the celebration on Friday, but Meghan and Harry's two children - Archie Harrison, 3, and Lilibet Diana, who will be one on June 4 - are thought to be too young.
The news that Meghan Markle, 40, and Prince Harry, 37, will visit the United Kingdom. The announcement for the Platinum Jubilee festivities came shortly after Queen Elizabeth, 96, decided that only working members of the royal family will appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony as part of Trooping the Colour, the monarch's annual public birthday celebration, as per People.
