One has to be rather lucky to share similarities in appearances with an A-list celebrity. Especially if that person hopes to make it big in Hollywood! Earlier this year, somebody who was claiming to be another doppelgänger of Markle was hoping to star in Netflix’s The Crown as the mother of two. With the recent buzz around the For All Mankind actress, netizens were clamoring to point out her uncanny resemblance with the Suits star.

A user went as far as to say that they look like “sisters“. Another pointed out that it was only her light “hair” that distinguished her from the duchess. 

Meanwhile, one user felt that the FBI actress was a combination of Markle and “Julia Roberts“. Another user even felt that her “mannerisms” matched the 42-year-old’s.
