Royal Lookalikes by EasyJet
Finally, easyJet went on a five month search to find Harry and Meghan “Lookalikes.”

The challenge was launched last November, when an actor who looks like Prince William unveiled the stunt.
3000 people from across Europe applied, claiming to look like one of Harry or Meghan with nine finalists being invited to come to London to audition in front of a judging panel, chaired by British ex-Royal correspondent and author of Prince Harry: Inside the Story, Duncan Larcombe.
Challenges that the finalists had to undergo included making a royal wave, throwing the bridal bouquet and making a romantic wedding proposal.
The winners were Rhys Whittock from the UK as Harry, and Inmaculada Santisteban Serrano from Spain (“Meghan”), who received a year’s worth of free flights from the airline.
They were then driven around central London in a horse drawn carriage, while easyJet’s PR and social media team captured footage of onlookers taking pictures of the fake Royals.
Coverage appeared in The Sun (the UK’s largest tabloid), the Mail online (the largest English speaking newspaper online), and Metro among others.
