Prince Harry — what are you doing here?
A Prince Harry look-alike was spotted at Kate Middleton’s Christmas carol service that took place on Dec. 6 and will be televised on Tuesday, Christmas Eve.
The doppelgänger appears at the 35-second mark in the trailer for the annual celebration hosted by Harry’s sister-in-law.
The Duke’s look-alike is seen at Westminster Abbey wearing a navy ceremonial uniform of the British Army.
The unidentified male also dons Harry’s signature red hair and beard.
He seemed to be in a jolly mood when he arrived at the event.
The trailer shows British citizens at the “Together At Christmas” service and being greeted by Middleton, 42, who reads an empowering message in the voiceover.
“Welcome to our ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service here at Westminster Abbey,” the Princess of Wales says. “Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. It is a time for presents, tinsel and mince pies, but it’s also a time to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all.”
Middleton continues, “It is when we stop and take ourselves away from the pressures of daily life, that we find the space to live our lives with an open heart, with love, kindness and forgiveness, so much of what the Christmas spirit is all about.”
Prince William and his three children — sons Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, 6, and daughter Princess Charlotte, 9 — also attended Middleton’s fourth annual Christmas carol service.
Middleton, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and finished her chemotherapy treatment in September, wore a long red coat with an oversized black velvet bow at the collar to the festive event.
Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle weren’t at the Christmas carol service — and likely weren’t even invited as they remain estranged from the royals.
The Sussexes, who now live in California, were notably snubbed from the guest list for the royal family’s annual Christmas celebration at Sandringham House.
Instead, the couple — along with their children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3 — will reportedly spend Dec. 25 with Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland.
“Meghan’s mom Doria will join them at home in Montecito and they’ll ensure the children have a joyful day, despite not being around extended family,” a source told Closer last month.
The insider added that Harry and Markle, 43, did not expect to receive an invitation to the royals’ Christmas party.
They have not been back on Harry’s home turf for the festive season since the royal family’s 2018 gathering at Sandringham, the late queen’s country estate in Norfolk, England.
A source recently told The Mirror that King Charles III — who was also diagnosed with cancer this year — is disappointed that he’s not seeing Harry’s children for yet another Christmas.
“There’s nothing King Charles wants more than to see see his family united, and for his sons to put the past behind them and move forward,” said the source.
“It is his hope for his family to be reunited and there’s no better way than spending quality time with his grandchildren at Christmas. It would be truly special,” the insider added.
