- Royal fans have started to notice some bizarre similarities between Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and “Fifty Shades of Grey” star Jamie Dornan.
- Prince Carl Philip, who is the son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, is fourth in line to the throne.
- The Swedish prince gained an outpour of praise after he made his Instagram account public, giving fans hundreds of pictures to use when drawing comparisons between himself and the Hollywood hearthrob.
Prince Carl Philip of Sweden has a Hollywood doppelganger – and fans have been in awe since they realised his lookalike is none other than “Fifty Shades of Grey” actor Jamie Dornan.
The Evening Standard drew attention to the eery similarity between Jamie Dornan, 36, and the dashing royal, 39, earlier this week.
Both men are frequently pictured with their dark hair slicked back and are regularly dressed in formal wear. They’re also both known for their signature rugged facial hair and often brooding stare.
Here’s Carl Philip – who is the son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, and is fourth in line to the throne.
Now here's Jamie Dornan.
The publication is not the first to notice the royal's handsome lookalike.
Prince Carl Philip and his wife, former glamour model and reality star Princess Sofia, made headlines in 2017 when they gave fans a glimpse into their private lives after creating an official Instagram account.
