Okay, all you conspiracy theorists here, here is a new one for you. Who is the father of Prince Harry?


Source: www.conspiracyplanet.com

The Wikipedia page on James Hewitt summarizes the case for Hewitt. Briefly, Diana had an affair with him, but it is open to debate if that started before or after Harry's conception, and Harry simply looks like him.

Yeah, in the three photos selected, Harry looks a LOT like Hewitt, and not at all like Charles.

Now all wee need is a spin-doctor that can pick three photos that shows the reverse....


In the meantime, I voted that I don't care.

It is rather hard to care about a bunch of mostly useless, inbred drones feeding off the public purse, isn't it? :P
Donald Trump is a fucking criminal

Well, if Charles truly is Harry's father, Harry certainly got very lucky in the genetic lottery, lookswise.

It's one thing to resemble a stranger. It's another to resemble someone who it's known your mother was sleeping with at any time.

Since I like drama, I vote for Harry being Hewitt's kid. But in the grand scheme of things, it's no biggie.

In that picture, Harry's nose is shaped like Charles'.

James Hewitt never met Diana until after Prince Harry was a toddler. He has gone on record saying that Harry was several months old the first time he slept with Diana.

Ginger hair constitute approximately 4 percent of the European population. Scotland has the highest proportion of gingers; 13 per cent of the population has red hair and approximately 40 per cent carries the recessive redhead gene.

Ireland has the second highest percentage; as many as 10 per cent of the Irish population has red, auburn, or strawberry blond hair.
It is thought that up to 46 percent of the Irish population carries the recessive redhead gene. A 1956 study of hair colour amongst British army recruits also found high levels of red hair in Wales and the English Border counties.

Tracing Prince Harry back 13 generations (as well as can be known, and assuming Charles is his father) you get:

35.327% English
29.418% European Royal (treated as an ethnic group)
14.404% Scottish
5.383% German
3.747% Irish
3.320% French
3.295% Anglo-Irish (English who lived in Ireland without cross breeding)
2.343% Hungarian & Transylvanian with several lines of descent from Dracula
0.781% Armenian
0.586% Dutch
0.292% Danish
0.292% Welsh
0.158% Belgian
0.146% Swedish
0.146% Swiss
0.122% Bohemian (part of the Czech Republic today)
0.097% Lithuanian
0.097% Russian
0.036% Jersiaise (i.e. island in the Channel belonging to the UK today)

It's kind of a stock response. If you go to a royalty blog someone asks this question about James Hewitt almost daily. Actually, questioning the paternity of a British Prince has a long tradition and was a major factor in history. They used to have a person observing the royal birth to testify that a baby was not switched if their was a stillborn.

Prince Arthur and Catherine of Aragon had observers on their wedding night, which was a big issue because later in life she claimed that she had never consummated her first marriage, and it should not be a factor in the request of Henry VIII for an annulment.
