Alex Jones joked that she and JJ Chalmers were a "very poor man’s Harry and Meghan" as they recreated an iconic moment from the royal tour on Friday. The Invictus Games co-hosts struck a pose in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge while sailing on a boat together, with Alex later sharing the snap on Instagram Stories.
The mum-of-one looked relaxed in a white T-shirt, jeans and sunglasses as she sat on the boat, with the famous bridge in the background. Her photo was shared just hours after Prince Harry and Meghan’s pose in front of the landmark went viral on social media.

Prince Harry and Meghan, meanwhile, spent the morning at Bondi Beach.
