Kate Middleton is gorgeous, stylish, and married to a prince, so how hard could it be to act like her for a movie role?
Alice St. Clair scored the enviable role of playing Kate in the upcoming Hallmark movie William & Catherine: A Royal Romance and the actress admitted it wasn’t so easy to play the beloved Duchess of Cambridge.
“The whole thing was quite a challenge; she’s such a current person,” St. Clair exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News about portraying the 29-year-old future Queen of England.
“Everyone loves her so much and just playing someone that’s so big. She’s someone that people are really just getting to know, it’s not like she’s been there for years. To have that pressure is generally quite a challenge, but an exciting one.”
Although Alice has never met Duchess Kate herself, she claims there is hope she will play her again in another movie: “The sequel -- William and Kate have a baby!” she jokes.
