Australian Kate Middleton lookalike perfecting ‘posh accent’ with help from British grandmother

An Australian Kate Middleton lookalike who applied for The Crown after going viral on TiKTok revealed she’ll be working on her ‘posh accent’ with help from her British grandmother. 

Brittany Dixon, from the Gold Coast, created her account on the social media platform to promote her artwork – but other users were quick to point out her uncanny resemblance to the Duchess of Cambridge.

After being spurred on by her followers, the artist responded to an open casting call for a ‘stunning’ actress to play a young Kate in the sixth season of the historical drama. 

Appearing on ITV‘s Lorraine today, she explained that her step-grandmother is from London, meaning she can ‘give her a few pointers’ on how to perfect the perfect English accent if she gets an audition.
