 Proving an intense devotion to her craft, Kate Middleton impersonator Heidi Agan has purchased a series of fake baby bumps so she can accurately portray the Duchess of Cambridge throughout her pregnancy.

These are the kind of on-the-job issues Agan never would have imagined a few years back. In 2009, she was a waitress at a burger joint in Northamptonshire, who happened to look a lot like the girlfriend of Prince William. Then Kate and Will got engaged and Agan decided to make the career move from waitress to celebrity impersonator. She does bear an uncanny resemblance to the Duchess, with the same long brown curls, blue eyes, and smile—and the two are nearly the same age: Kate is 31, Agan is 32.




 
She embarked on her new career by purchasing the blue Issa dress Kate wore for her engagement announcement in November 2010 and then purchased a $450 dollar copy of the Alexander McQueen evening gown the Duchess wore shortly thereafter. Agan tells the BBC is she constantly monitoring the news for information about Kate and working to copy her mannerisms.

Now Agan can afford the expense of being “the UK’s most realistic Kate Middleton lookalike,” as she says on her website. She makes nearly $1,000 dollars a day masquerading as Kate Middleton, by attending charity events and making regular television and radio appearances. In October 2012 she appeared on "Good Morning America" and Kate Couric’s talk show accompanied by Prince William lookalike Tyler Brasfield.

It’s a role that Agan takes very seriously, not only in person but online. Agan has been keeping fans in the loop with social media updates about her fake bump. "The 'bump' and I had a great time filming outside today. But it was cold outside, brrr," she tweeted earlier this month, along with a retweet of a photo with her fake bump. On March 5,  she tweeted about acquiring the prosthetic tummy, "picked up my 'baby bump' today. How strange :)."

It may be strange but it's a living, and a lot more lucrative than her former gig pushing burgers for $9 an hour. "It's just been incredible and I feel so blessed with it and without the support of my family I just couldn't do it,"  

Agan, who has an 11-year-old and four-year-old, said. "Appearing as Kate has given me the opportunity to spend more time with my own children than if I was doing my waitressing job and that's priceless."
