A trainee solicitor is considering moonlighting as a Duchess of Cambridge impersonator.

Christina Spencer joined Mayo Wynne Baxter in Brighton last year. The 26-year-old says that people have increasingly remarked on her striking resemblance to the Duchess. She added that the only noticeable difference is that she has a lisp, but given that the requirements of the job are largely an ability to cut ribbons, wave at poor people and smile at sick kids this presumably doesn't present a problem.

Spencer intends to stay in the law on qualification, but will be able to supplement her legal salary very nicely if she wishes. One of her competitors charges £480 to turn up at events, and boasts clients such as The Sun, Marie Claire and Heineken. And Poundland. And Gatwick Airport. The glamour... Still, it's certainly a more agreeable hobby than bare-knuckle cage fighting, which seems to be the other recreation currently in vogue for trainees.

Spencer confirmed to RollOnFriday that she still intended to practise law, and declined to offer her lookalike services at a discount to RollOnFriday's readers. Which is a shame, because there must be a massive market in her chosen profession. Need a new office opened? Want to impress some Americans at a client party? And Farrers might pay a fortune to convince everyone that it's still really tight with the Royal Family after its News of the World shenanigans.
