Cape Town - Her resemblance to Princess Charlotte is uncanny!
Adorable Scarlett Evered, from Kent in England, was signed by a lookalike agency when she was just 15 months old, after her grandmother noticed her striking resemblance to the fourth in line to the throne.
Little Scarlett has starred in three supermarket campaigns, modelled dressing gowns and even got to open up a winter wonderland with other royal lookalikes.
Her doting mom, Victoria Evered (38), said her daughter constantly gets stopped by strangers who are in awe of her resemblance to Charlotte.
“When Princess Charlotte turned one there was an OK magazine feature with lots of pictures and my mom said Scarlett looked just like her,” said Victoria.
“Mom said, ‘Why don’t you see if she could be a lookalike.’ I sent Scarlett’s picture to a lookalike agency and she was working.
“Her first job was for a viral video campaign for [supermarket chain] Asda when she was 15 months old to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday.
“It was amazing. There were lookalikes for Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge. She loved every minute of it.
“People were walking past and doing a double take. It was hilarious.
“It had millions of views on their social media platforms. It was so surreal.
“I thought that would be it and it would be a one-off but then that summer she was asked to do another one.”
The mom of three said her little girl loves being in the limelight.
“Scarlett’s taken to saying, ‘I’m not Princess Charlotte, I’m Scarlett.’ And as she gets older she’s becoming much more aware of it.
“When we’re out and about and people say it she laughs and smiles. She does love the attention,” the mom said.
Although Scarlett loves being in the limelight, spending time around so many royal doppelgangers has confused her.
“When the royal baby [Prince Louis] was born she thought she was watching Simon who’s the Prince William lookalike.
“I always show her Princess Charlotte on the television and a couple of times she’s thought it’s actually her,” Victoria said.
“Scarlett has got lighter hair and a different eye colour. She’s not exactly the same but they definitely have some sort of resemblance.
“Scarlett does like Princess Charlotte. She always looks at her dresses and what she’s wearing. I think she’d be happy to copy her clothes.”
The proud mom hopes Scarlett will be able to continue her career as a royal lookalike.
“I’ll be over the moon if she can continue to do it. We have a lovely memory book of all her press cuttings so that she can see it when she’s older,” she said.
“We love the royal family. I think they do us proud as a country so it’s really nice to have this memorabilia.”
