One of the most shocking cases of lookalikes is of Nathalie Emanuel and Meghan Markle. The Games of Thrones actress speaks on similarities

Nathalie Emmanuel Talks About Similarities With Meghan Markle and Shades the Royal Family

In 2019, Mindy Kaling created a brilliant romantic comedy titled Four Weddings
and a Funeral, taking inspiration from the Richard Curtis masterpiece. The flick
starred none other than the Game of Thrones actress and Meghan Markle lookalike
Nathalie Emmanuel. She played the character of Maya in the series who, just like
the actress, also has many similarities with the Duchess of Sussex. Maya is a
woman of color who is determined to make it big in the male-dominated world.

Therefore, she moves to London to find better opportunities. While Maya may have
only a few similarities, Emmanuel has almost identical features to that of the
former senior royal. Under any picture that the actress posts of herself, a
majority of the comments are “OMG! You look like Meghan Markle,” which is why
much like the Suits alum, with her Netflix documentary, the actress decided to
take the reins in her own hands in 2019.


NATHALIE EMMANUEL TAKES A MAJOR DIG AT THE ROYAL FAMILY

Considering that the show is created by Mindy Kaling, we can all expect there to
be some hilarious calling out of patriarchy. Or, in this case, hierarchy and
racism.

In the series, Nathalie’s character, Maya, jokes about applying to Markle’s
decoy but got rejected because “the royal family hit their diversity quota.” It
is one of the best lines from the show, not just because of the subtle shade but
also because Emmanuel’s character acknowledges that she looks like Meghan
Markle.


DOES MEGHAN MARKLE KNOW SHE HAS A LOOK-ALIKE?

Back in simpler times when Meghan Markle was a Suits actress and not the force
that broke the Royal family, as Twitter likes to call her, the actress also
referenced Nathalie Emmanuel. In one of the episodes, Markle’s character, Rachel
Zane, says, “Apparently I look like Khaleesi’s translator or something.”
Emmanuel is famous for her role in Game of Thrones.

However, Emmanuel has heard the Meghan Markle comparison far too many times and
especially expressed her frustration with people tagging her in photos of random
bi-racial women in 2017. While the actress did see similarities before, she now
fails to see them.

And by ad-libbing a part where she acknowledges the fact that she looks like
Markle, Emmanuel was taking control. The actress said in a Glamour magazine
interview
[https://www.glamour.com/story/nathalie-emmanuel-on-four-weddings-and-a-funeral/amp]
“For me, having my own control over that was important because I hear [that I
look like her] all the time.” Now that Markle is not a senior member of the
Royal family, fans are hoping the two of them can play sisters in a project.

Do you know any other celebrity look-alikes
