Prince William and Ben Fogle - can you tell the difference?

Prince William.
They bear a passing resemblance to one another and they both like to get away from it all by spending time in Norfolk.

But a village shopkeeper was having none of it when Prince William's bodyguards tried to pass him off as TV adventurer Ben Fogle.

Trevor Howell recognised the 27-year-old Prince and his partner, Kate Middleton, as soon as they walked into Howell's Superstores at Binham, near Wells. When he said as much, a protection officer replied: “No it's not, it's Ben Fogle.”

The story surfaced in newspaper reports today , but Mr Howell said the incident happened more than a month ago.

“I believed him until I looked again and saw Kate Middleton standing beside the till, it was pretty clear then,” he said last night .

Prince William is a regular visitor to Norfolk. He enjoys shooting parties on the Sandringham Estate, as well as visiting nearby pubs like the Dabbling Duck, at Great Massingham.

Though he is nearly 10 years older, TV adventurer Ben Fogle bears a resemblance to the Prince with his receding blonde hair and similar build.

Both men also share a love of Norfolk. Mr Fogle and his wife Marina, who gave birth to the couple's first child last week, were frequent visitors to Holkham where they enjoyed romantic breaks at the Victoria.
