Prince Harry couldn't mask his surprise when he spotted a Meghan Markle lookalike during a walkabout on Bondi Beach last week.

Both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did a double take at 22-year-old personal trainer Danielle Bazergy, who bears a strong resemblance to the former actress, before stopping to have a chat with her during their ongoing royal tour down under.

"Meeting the royals last week was amazing, they're both incredibly humble, witty and just grade A down-to-earth and easy-going people," Bazergy told Daily Mail Australia.

Royal fan Bazergy caught Harry's sweet reaction on camera - which was a warm smile and flicker of recognition - and shared it on Instagram.

She recalled: "It was incredibly humbling. Not going to lie, [it was] very exhilarating when Harry did a double take on me - I was actually the first in the crowd that they came and started chatting to."

The fitness expert - based in Sydney - says she's often mistaken for Meghan, adding: "I was 16 and at a friend's birthday party when one guy, a total stranger, came up to me and said, 'You look like Rachel from Suits.'

"I always try to make a joke about it when people say I look like Prince Harry's wife. My go-to line is usually to laugh at my single self and say that I'm still looking for my prince."
