A professional Kate Middleton lookalike has said the royal mother dresses 'too boring' for her age - and admits that she fancies Prince Harry more than William.

Jodie Bredo, 26, from Essex, has been a Kate lookalike for six years and wishes the Duchess of Cambridge would 'change her hair for once' - suggesting she opt for a bob style.

Jodie, who is now single after splitting from her boyfriend, said of the Duchess, who is expecting her second child: 'Kate’s just too frumpy for her age.

'I know I'm seven years younger than her but she should dress more fun. I like wearing fitted dresses and showing my figure off. I’d love her to get something more fashionable like a bob.'

Miss Bredo admits she does not fancy Prince William and is not tempted to have her own happy ending like the royal couple.

She said: 'I do lots of jobs with a William lookalike, but I don’t see him like that. Prince Harry's the better one. His bad boy image is more for me.'

Although her counterpart is in the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London currently awaiting her second child, Miss Bredo is not keen to start a family herself.

The glamorous Essex resident said: 'I've recently broken up with a long-term boyfriend so I’m not thinking about babies. 

'Kate’s new baby isn’t making me broody,' said the lookalike (with her nephew Louis). 'I've got two nephews and one's the same age as Prince George - but it’s nice to hand them back to their mum at the end'

Miss Bredo started her career after noticing her resemblance to the Duchess of Cambridge.

She was routinely stopped in the street when Kate first came into the public eye while dating Prince William.

She said: 'I was shopping in Debenhams with my mum when this woman came running after us.

'I thought I’d left something, but she just said, "I have to tell you, you look so much after Kate Middleton."

'Even at the opticians having my eyes tested, the optometrist told me I looked like her.

'My family were on holiday in Cyprus and Kate was in the newspaper. My mum told me I looked like her and needed to do something with it.'

Miss Bredo sent an email to a lookalike agency with her photographs in 2009.

She said: 'I was accepted but didn’t hear from them about any jobs. I wasn’t too bothered. I was working as a personal assistant at the time and didn’t think about it.

'In March 2009, I had a call from them saying I had my first job. When they said it was for Tatler magazine, I couldn’t believe it.

'I took the day off and had to go to Aintree races, the shoot was based around what they thought Kate should be wearing. I was in these mad outfits.

'This one dress had plastic panelling all down the arms so I couldn't even move my arm to have a drink.'

After the royal couple’s engagement in October 2010, Miss Bredo began working as a lookalike full-time.

She said: 'I had so many calls I was doing four to five days a week, appearing at corporate events and doing shoots.

'It was really strange, people wanting a picture with me, but I got into it and really had fun.'

Miss Bredo studies Kate’s mannerisms as well as following her beauty regime.

She said: 'I have regular trims to keep my hair looking good, every two months and curl the ends the same as Kate.

'Her signature look is a lot of black eyeliner so I get through that really quickly.

'I spend £30 a month buying black eyeliner. My favourite brand is Bare Minerals.

'She also wears very harsh blusher and has natural nails so I give myself regular manicures.'

Miss Bredo spends hours searching for the Duchess on the internet so she can keep up-to-date with her wardrobe.

She said: 'If she’s wearing something new, I’ll try and find it but it’s usually sold out instantly.

'I know what kind of clothes she’ll wear now.

'When I’m going clothes shopping I’ll choose some things that I think are "Kate."

'I picked up this black and white spotted dress and my mum didn't think it was something the Duchess of Cambridge would wear.

'Then I saw a picture of her when she was pregnant with George – it was the same one I’d bought.

'I think she’s copying me now.'

Miss Bredo usually appears with a William lookalike and their after-work drinks get plenty of attention.

She said: 'You can tell people are staring and some people take sneaky pictures of us.

'But a lot of people come up and ask to take a picture, it’s funny we’re just two friends having a drink.

'Even on my own I get lots of double takes – especially if I’m in London.'

Since the duchess gave birth to Prince George, aged one, Miss Bredo has had plenty of shoots with tots.

She said: 'I’ve got used to holding babies now and when I do events they provide me with a bump.

'I’m looking to forward to losing that now she’s having the baby.'
