An advertisement by an online platform has prompted jokes about Prince Harry finding a new job after people said that a handyman in the video resembled him.
An advertisement by Rated People – an online platform for tradespeople – quickly got noticed online after people said that model Simon Pengelly resembled Prince Harry.
Watch the advertisement:
Pengelly told the BBC that he was used to being compared to actor Jason Statham normally since he usually has a shaved head. However, since the ad came out he has reportedly been flooded with responses from friends.
Here’s how people reacted to the video on social media:

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced their plans to step back from the royal duties and lead a more independent life from the royal family earlier this month. Buckingham Palace later announced that the couple wouldn’t use their titles anymore and will cease all royal duties as they no longer represent the queen formally.
