Royal Family News – Was Harry At The Met Gala?

The Met Gala takes place on the first Monday in May and with tickets costing $75,000 the event is for the A-list crowd.

It is the place to be seen, and celebs wear outrageous costumes that need tons of helping hands as they pose for the paparazzi.

There are always fancy gowns with oversized trains and each year several gentlemen are on hand to help the ladies as they walk around and parade their fashions. This year one helper in particular had fans doing a double take.

These men are dressed in tuxedos and try to stay out of the way of the cameras. But one helper looked just like Prince Harry.

The X account Royal Tea captured Prince Harry’s lookalike fixing one lady’s dress and asked “Why is Prince Harry’s doppelgänger fixing trains on the #MetGala2024 carpet?? They need to hire him as body double – even the bald spots are right!”

Harry’s doppelgänger was so distracting that he was a hot topic alongside spectacles like Zendaya’s two daring outfits and Kim Kardashian’s no-waist frock.
