Casting call for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle goes unanswered at Fringe Festival

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s declining popularity may be impacting the entertainment world, at least according to one Bafta-winning photographer.

Alison Jackson, known for her satirical productions featuring celebrity lookalikes, says she’s been unable to cast anyone to portray the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in her upcoming show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 

Jackson, 65, claims that while several Prince William lookalikes have come forward, not a single Harry or Meghan has shown interest in joining the performance.

“I have a couple of 'Prince Williams' who've come forward and they look quite good,” Jackson told The Daily Mail. “But no 'Meghan' or 'Harry' has turned up.”

Jackson attributes the casting challenge to public sentiment. 

“I think that people don't like Meghan, they don't trust her and they think she's an operator who sucks everything she can out of Harry,” she said.

“As Meghan gets more and more assertive, the lookalikes disappear. They've probably all cut their hair short and look different.”
