Lieutenant Sanderson, a double for Prince Charles

Jan. 01, 1974 - Prince Charles Has Double - On Own Ship: By an incredible coincidence, Prince Charles has a double serving aboard his own ship, the frigate Jupiter. When the frigate arrived at Brisbane, Australia, a welcoming crowd cheered when they thought they saw Prince Charles on the bridge. In fact, they were cheering Lieutenant Sanderson. It was only after Lt Sanderson disappeared from the bridge and Prince Charles, also a lieutenant, appeared that the crowd realised their mistake. Lieut. Sanderson said afterwards that he had realised he was being mistaken for Charles. I thought it jolly amusing. he said. But there was nothing much I could do about it. Photo Shows: Lieut. Richard Sanderson, who was mistaken for Prince Charles
