Im Prince Harrys doppelganger – looking like him has | UK News

Prince Harry lookalike Adrian Webster may look precisely like the Duke of Sussex, but it hasn’t always been an straightforward journey. A frequent traveller to Laos in south east Asia, Adrian has had a three-day road social gathering thrown in his honour because locals in a small village thought he was the prince – but it also has its downsides.

On one event, he was stopped by armed Border Force officers who assumed he was travelling on a faux passport, and taken to an interrogation room for a long three-hour wait. Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, Adrian explained that he knew how the passport system labored in Laos, until sooner or later all the things modified.

“I’d been going out there a little bit on holiday, so I knew how the passport control system at the airport worked. On this one occasion, I filled out all the paperwork, went to the desk and gave the guy my passport.

“Normally, they just give it to the next guy, stamp it, and off you go. They don’t have expensive electronic systems.

“He starts looking up and down at me and my passport, hands it to the guy next to him and they’re both glowering at it and at me and I thought, ‘Something’s up here’. This hadn’t happened before and I’d done it the best part of 40 times.

“They waved me over and asked me to go into an office around the corner. There’s a guy in full military outfit in there and they asked me to take a seat and said, ‘Do you know why you’ve been brought in here?’ I said no, not got a clue. They said, ‘We think you’re on a fake passport’.

“One of them gets a Google image of Prince Harry up on his phone, holds it up next to my passport and holds both of them up next to my head. He asked the other guys, ‘Are you in agreement this is the same person?’ and then asks me, ‘Is this you on the photo?’”

Thankfully, the officers “weren’t angry”, but Adrian admitted: “You could tell if I didn’t give straight answers I was going to be put on the next plane back to England. I didn’t want that, because I’d paid a lot of money to get there. I was more than a little bit on edge.”

He was saved ready for three hours, during which the officers plied him with drinks and three scorching meals – just in case he was the real Prince Harry.

But talking of looking like the doppelgänger of Prince Harry, Adrian confessed: “I love it, I absolutely love it. I could either say no to people who want a picture with me and come across as a selfish person who just wants to mind his own business in the street, which… yeah, sometimes is nice and I do just want to walk down the street and get on with my day.

“But if I could put a smile on somebody’s face, especially somebody who’s not from this country, to take a photo with someone they think is Prince Harry, is like a groundbreaking moment in their life. If I can put a smile on their face just by saying yes to a photo, then so be it.”
