Possibly the worst Royal lookalikes EVER: Wills and Kate movie hits a new low

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Who are you? William & Catherine: A Royal Romance stars another host of Royal lookalikes

It's time to break out the bunting as another film about how Wills and Kate got together - starring a second crop of Royal lookalikes - is set to be screened.

'William & Catherine: A Royal Romance' will premiere on the U.S. Hallmark Channel later this month and covers the same material as the much-maligned 'William & Kate'.

But, as was the case in the first film which was recorded before the Royal Wedding, viewers may struggle to recognise the characters who in some cases bear little resemblance to the people they are meant to be playing.


Lookalikes: Victor Garber stars as Prince Charles, while Jean Smart is portraying Camilla

The American production stars a full-head of haired Dan Amboyer as the prince, and sole British-cast member Alice St Clair as Kate.

The Queen and Prince Philip, played by Jane Alexander and Mark Penfold, will be flattered with their portrayals as the couple have had years taken off of them.


Starring roles: Dan Amboyer and Alice St Clair play Prince William and Kate Middleton, while Victor Garber takes on the role of Prince Charles


Stars: Jane Alexander plays Queen Elizabeth II and Mark Penfold as Prince Philip


Victor Garber has been said to look more like an ageing version of Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville, than Prince Charles.

Camilla, as played by Jean Smart, looks remarkably more slimmer than in real life, and Prince Harry actor Stanley Eldridge appears to be 10 years younger than the younger prince.

Princess Diana, played by Lesley Harcourt, is the only person semi-recognisable thanks to a 1980s hairstyle.

Making waves! Gigantic lady of the lake who's got the Germans in a lather

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Lady of the lake: The giant 'mermaid' will be on show at the Alster Lake in Hamburg for the next ten days

Meet the not-so-Little Mermaid that has been having a right old knees-up in the German city of Hamburg.

Oliver Voss's floating sculpture is designed to look like a woman bathing in the picturesque Alster Lake.

The three-piece work of art, which is 13ft high and 98ft long, will be turning heads for the next ten days - with many visitors boarding rowing boats to get a closer look.


Controversial: District mayor Markus Schreiber has said that the sculpture was 'sullying the beloved lake'


Voss, head of the advertising academy Miami Ad School, said he wanted the aquatic sculpture, called The Bather, to be 'a topic of conversation in Germany'.

But his creation has also caused controversy, with district mayor Markus Schreiber telling de Bild newspaper that it was 'sullying the beloved lake'.


Knees-up! Many rowers have approached the sculpture to get a closer look


The enormous sculpture, made from steel and styrofoam, does not resemble a traditional mermaid.

Instead of a woman with a fishtail, Voss's lady of the lake has legs bent at the knee and protruding from the water.


Night-time soak: The sculpture will only be display for ten days

Is that a face in the clouds? Footage shows spooky shape shifting display that formed during Canadian storm

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Ominous: Amateur cameraman Denis Farmer filmed the coincidence of cloud formation from his backyard in the town of Grand Falls, Canada

An ominous display of clouds billowing over New Brunswick in the shape of a face has sparked debate over whether it was just a a spooky coincidence - or a message from God.

Amateur cameraman Denis Farmer filmed the dark cloud formation from his backyard in the town of Grand Falls, Canada.

He watches amazed in a YouTube clip as a giant face morphs through the dark sky, moved by heavy winds.


Features: A profile emerges, complete with a pointed nose, an eye and what appears to be a smiling mouth


A profile emerges, complete with a pointed nose, an eye and what appears to be a smiling mouth.

And all the shocked cameraman managed to say as the storm swirled above him was: 'Face! It's a face! Holy frig!'

But within seconds, the clouds shape shift.


Going viral? The three-minute clip has earned 6,617 hits since being uploaded to YouTube on Monday


As the camera shakes and Mr Farmer pans to his surroundings, he returns to the formation to find it quickly dissipating.

The three-minute clip has earned 6,617 hits since being uploaded to YouTube on Monday.

And other users are entangled in heated debate over whether the spooky clouds were just a coincidence, or carried with them a more meaningful message.


Debate: Some users said the face looked like Jesus, while others said it was a message from the devil


hackmaster1995sicho wrote: 'Looks like Jesus!' while while thetippyshow argued 'it looks like the devil.'

knarflehcar posted a passage from the Book of Ezekiel, and argued God could not be in the clouds.

But others took a more lighthearted view, as one viewer added: 'So Harry Potter hasn't finished yet? Voldermort is back.'

jcshorey wrote cynically: 'Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are right behind him spreading their cheer as well.'
