Royal etiquette

Prince Harry’s lookalike, who signed up with the agency in 2017, had thought that Harry, Duke of Sussex’s decision to step down from royal duties in 2020 would destroy his business. But the royal family’s constant public appearances alone mean Rhys is working harder than ever.

“I was a little worried that my ‘Harry lookalike’ career was over, but it quickly became clear that Harry and Meghan would still be in the public eye,” says Rice. “I realized that I will be fine while they are [Harijs un Megana] will be the center of attention…”

Rice was stopped on the street several years ago, saying he looked like Prince Harry, and soon signed with the agency. Since then, he has appeared all over the world in TV commercials, private events and most recently on British news.

Rees can now earn more than £1,000 a day (€1,170) in the role.

A fan of the royal family himself, Rees hopes to one day meet Prince Harry and considers his job “the best job in the world”.
