'I Wanna Marry Harry' Trailer, Cast, Contestants: TV Show With 12 Girls, Prince Look-Alike Is 'The Bachelor' With a Twist, Cancelled After Four Episodes [Video]
"I Wanna Marry Harry" debuted on Fox TV on May 20. The idea of this reality TV show is comparable to that of "Joe Millionaire." The show invited 12 American women to compete with each other and vie for Prince Harry's affection. The twist to the plot is that this Prince Harry is not real but actually a guy pretending to be Prince Harry.
The look-alike Prince Harry is Matthew Hicks, who is in fact a bachelor and currently working in an environmental consultancy company. Hicks, who resembles the bad-boy prince, has impersonated Prince Harry before but to a smaller scale. He admits to not having any actual acting experience. To get the accurate hair color of Prince Harry, Hicks had to have his hair dyed in the red color (he is a natural blond). Hicks also received a short amount of princely training in activities like fencing, horseback riding and ballroom dancing, all of which are needed in the show. He was also educated on the life of Prince Harry, allowing him to give mostly correct answers to the contestants.
The 12 women contestants on the show are:
- 23-year-old Rose Copeland, a Special preschool teacher from Westlake Village, California (Episode 1)
- 24-year-old Leach Thom, a Cocktail waitress from Fort Worth, Texas (Episode 1)
- 25-year-old Andrea Fox, a Lead Development Representative from Longview, Texas (Episode 2)
