A mum constantly mistaken for the Princess of Wales “loves the compliment” and says she’d love to play her in The Crown. Dr Molly Brinkmann, 35, says she has “always loved” royal Kate Middleton and claims strangers are regularly mistaking her for the Princess at first glance.
The mum-of-two sees the likeness herself and says they have the same style and hair and do their make-up in a similar fashion. Molly is a “fan” of the Royal family and plans to follow along with the King’s Coronation and is excited to see what Kate wears.
Molly has been told she should audition for Netflix’s The Crown and says she’d “love” to play her. Molly, a vet, who lives near Nashville, Tennessee, US, with her husband, Ryan, 35, said: “It’s a compliment to look like her.
“I’ve always loved her. People say ‘holy cow, you look like Kate’ and ‘you should audition for the Crown’. Netflix can call me anytime. I can be the current Kate.”
Molly has always had strangers telling she looks like Kate Middleton for years but said she gets it more now after positing videos on TikTok. She said: “I’ve been told for years in person that I look like her.
“Strangers come up and say 'you look like Kate'. They say ‘for a second there I thought you were her'.
“My TikTok blew up and people started saying it online.” Molly can see the similarity “a little bit”.
She said: “As I’ve got older my appearance is more like her. Our hair and style is quite similar.
“When I’ve got my hair curly it looks more like her. We do our make-up similar.
“I see the similarities a little bit. I think she is beautiful.
“It’s fun and flattering to be compared to her.” Molly also gets compared to other famous Kate’s but doesn’t see the similarities with them.
She said: “I get Kate Upton and Kate Hudson. I don’t see it. We’re very different.
“It’s so funny - it’s all the Kate’s.” Her husband Ryan, who teaches personal finance, goes along with the likeness and was even told he looked like royalty.
Molly said: “He’s like ‘yeah sure’ when people say I look like her. He doesn’t look like a William.
“He looks more like a Harry but not really. These women turned to us once and said to him ‘is there royalty in your blood?’
“It was so random. We asked why and they said of Ryan – ‘you look like you could part of a Royal family’.”
Molly is theatre trained and is keen to play Kate in Netflix’s The Crown. She joked: “Somebody needs to call me.”
