Would the real Duchess of Cambridge please stand up? Heidi Agan, 32, looks so much like Kate Middleton that the mom of two decided to quit her waitressing job at Frankie and Bennie's, a TGIF-like '50s style restaurant chain in England, to work full-time as a royal lookalike. The move made for a significant bump in pay: From $9.75 an hour to about $1,050 per appearance. Take a look at some side-by-side images of Agan and her royal doppelganger. -- Lylah M. Alphonse, Y!

With her bright eyes and wavy chestnut hair, 32-year-old Heidi Agan (left), amother of two from Corby, Northamptonshire, is a dead ringer for the Duchess of Cambridge (right), even though Agan's eyes are sky blue and not hazel.
Agan (left) quit her waitressing job in favor of life as a faux royal because "People would come in and point at me and say, 'That's her!'" she told The Daily Mail. "I've had other people come up to me during jobs, convinced I'm Kate."
It's not just the customers who see a royal resemblance: Even her 3-year-old daughter, Abigail, thinks she looks like the future queen.
"When my daughter sees her in a magazine, she points and says, 'There you are, Mummy!'" Agan told The Daily Mail. "She's turned into a right little royalist."
Agan's 10-year-old son, Blake, hasn't given his opinion on his mom's new job yet. She's booking her gigs through the London-based Susan Scott Lookalikes agency, which has contracts with more than 8,000 actors and actresses, including 21 other ladies who also look a lot like Kate Middleton (and two who look like Princess Diana).
The strangest request so far? To play a game of Twister with Prince William and Queen Elizabeth lookalikes. "I guess people want to put us in real-life situations that they would never see the royal family in," she says.
Agan has filled her wardrobe with outfits that match Kate's, including the deep blue Issa dress worn for the famous engagement photo. But she's putting her foot down about Kate's recent royal faux pas: Agan says she won't be making any topless appearances.
"I felt really bad for Kate when the photos were published as she was on a private trip with her husband," she says. "If someone had done that to me I would go to the police. She and William don't get any time out and they were just trying to be a normal couple. It's a terrible invasion of their privacy."
