Pippa Middleton bears an uncanny resemblance to Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle
SHE’S the glamorous actress who’s been thrust into the limelight after snaring Prince Harry.
But eagle-eyed royal watchers have noticed that Meghan Markle bears an uncanny resemblance to Pippa Middleton, the younger sibling of his sister-in-law, Kate.
The model-like pair share the same glossy brunette locks, classic make-up look and preppy, tailored dress sense.
Harry, who is fifth-in-line to the throne, was romantically linked to Pippa back in 2011 after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding.
The red-headed prince was seen telling Pippa as they walked out of Westminster Abbey, “You do look very beautiful today – seriously”.
Body language experts dubbed them a “perfect pairing”, while the rumour mill went into overdrive after they were reportedly spotted on a “date” at a London pub.
Harry has always shot down romance claims and insists that their relationship is strictly platonic.
Pippa 32, is now engaged to financier James Matthews, 41, while Harry has reportedly been wooing Meghan for the past six months.
It’s claimed they first crossed paths in Toronto at the Invictus Games earlier this year before beginning a trans-Atlantic relationship.
Meghan is a well-respected and established actress who is best known for starring in US TV legal drama, Suits.
