I think it's very nice of Prince Charles

[Dookus]

to raise another man's child as his own.

Prince Harry:





His mother's paramour, James Hewitt:





I don't see any Windsor in Harry.

[bleedingheart]

1. I know...I can't help but see the likeness...and wonder...

[Radio_Lady]

28. Somebody MUST have run a DNA test, don't you think?

The resemblance IS uncanny, at least in these photos!

[Anarcho-Socialist]

2. I've always believed that Harry was Hewitt's sprog

I wonder if Charles realises this, or just blocks it out? :shrug:

[Radio_Lady]

29. Did she cohabit with James Hewitt at around the time Harry was --

conceived? I believe that any child conceived while Diana and Charles were married -- even one conceived through adultery -- would be considered Charles' child anyway. That's the law here, which must be a follow-on to British common law.

I know there have been cases where DNA tests revealed another father, and the husband has taken the wife to court -- in one case to be absolved from paying child support. Not sure how the law would view this one, however.

They referred to Prince William as "The HEIR" and Prince Harry as "The SPARE" on TV today. I thought that was really tacky! I feel sorry for any child who has lost its mother at such a tender age. If Harry were to lose the only father he has known would be a crushing blow.

[zann725]

34. I distinctly remember right after Harry was born that Charles made some

sort of cruel comment about the boy's red hair, and how Charles shunned the boy because he looked more like Diana's side of the family??? (It was on one of those Specials about the decline of the Charles/Di marriage.) At the time I saw the Special, I just thought it was Charles' self-centered nature. But in retrospect...Harry's birth was the point at which the marriage really began disintegrating. And the red hair was possibly much more than a lack of Windsor resemblence.

[DulceDecorum]

3. The wives of Henry the Eighth

should have been so lucky.

[Deja Q]

4. You mean Charles did the nasty with James Hewitt?!

IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: :dunce:

[Dookus]

6. huh?

where'd you get that?

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. I've bookmarked this thread to show my mom.

She's always thought Harry looked him, but we could never remember his to find a picture. x(

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. If the "Royal Family" is The Beatles, Prince Charles is Pete Best

...or, as our friends across the Great Pond might put it, a "bloody wanker," a "stupid git."



:toast:

[terrya]

8. Um, that's rather obvious, isn't it?

I can see the Windsor in William. He is very much a Windsor.

Not a trace of it in Harry.

Yes, it is quite gentlemanly for Charles to raise him as his own.

[Dookus]

10. Yes...

after seeing the wedding pics today, I'm afraid Prince William is going to pull an Andrew - gorgeous as a youth - another horse-faced Windsor as he ages.

But Harry's got looks with some staying power.

[hickman1937]

9. Harry looks like the Spencers.

I vaugly remember reading something about dna testing a few years back, and chuck is the dad. Poor Harry.

[Maccagirl]

12. Even Hewitt swears that Harry cannot be his

son because he didn't meet Diana until 1986. Harry gets his red hair from the Spencers-both of Diana's sisters and her brother have it.

[Dookus]

14. a man swearing

a child isn't his? Unheard of!

Heheh...

sorry, I just don't see ANY Windsor resemblance in Prince Harry.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

16. Harry's all Spenser

Look at Diana's brother's baby pictures - they could be twins.

Plus, she and Hewitt didn't meet for a couple of years after Harry's birth.

A little research on the timelines, people - this old chestnut was buried years ago.

[MollyStark]

18. And his eyes are blue

Hewitt has brown eyes while Charles and Diana both have blue.

My family has green or blue eyes on both sides for as long as we go back. All of my sisters and I married men with bown eyes and we got all brown eyed children.
While it is not impossible to have a blue eyed child between Diana and Charles, it would be very unusual.
Besides, the close set eyes and narrow bridge of the nose are pure Windsor.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

19. His profile is just like the Queen's

He has that amazing Spenser hair, too. Kid's got the hair, while his brother looks to have that deadly Windsor receding hairline any minute now.

Did you notice that William's ravishing good looks are rapidly giving way to that unfortunate Windsor mug?

[Emops]

30. "His profile is just like the Queen's" ???

Christ, that's the worst insult I've ever heard.:)

[LisaL]

33. A person with a brown eyes can have a blue eyed child.

The brown eye gene is dominant, the blue eye gene is recessive. So, someone who has brown eyes could carry a blue eye gene. When this person has a child with another person that carries a blue eye gene- A blue eye child can be born. It's not very unusual. You could easily calculate the odds, and they are considerable. On the other hand, it is impossible for two blue eyed people to have a brown eye child.

[MollyStark]

40. Did you respond just to argue exactly what I said?

I said it was unlikely but not impossible. You say it is not unusual, but infact it is. I took college statistics too.

[LisaL]

41. I responded because it would not be unusual or unlikely.

The odds of an offspring having blue eyes could be as high as 50 %.
See example 1.

[MollyStark]

43. wrong

But if you would like to write out the stats I am willing to read it.

It is unusual and unlikely, but not impossible.

[LisaL]

44. LOL.

Read the attached link. The odds could be as high as 50 %.

Parent 1: Brown Eyes, Genotype: bey2: Brown-blue, gey:blue-blue

Each child has 50% probablility of brown eyes and 50% probability of blue eyes. On average, about half the children of this cross will have brown eyes and the other will have blue eyes"

http://www.athro.com/evo/gen/eyecols.html

[MollyStark]

39. correction

What I meant to type is that it would be unlikely for blue eyed Diana to have a blue eyed child with a brown eyed Hewitt.

[hickman1937]

45. Unless one of his parents had blue eyes.

Both my parents had blue eyes, all of my brothers and sisters have blue eyes, and most of us married brown eyed people who had a blue eyed parent. My little brother married a blue eyed woman. All of the grandchildren have blue eyes, except Mark, who is my youngest brother's step son/adopted son/beloved child. When blue fills 3 out of four squares it dominates. Two of two, usually not.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

13. Of course they would say that Chuck is the dad lol .

If this was an official report it would say Chuck is the dad , because this would be an even more bigger scandal than anyone could imagine .

So did some take snippets from both Harry's and James Hewitt's hair ?I always heard jokes about someone wanting to do that .

[LisaL]

31. LOL. I don't know what you remember reading, but

there was never a DNA testing done. You would be the only person in the world reading about that DNA testing, cause it simply didn't happen. They would never do it, because of the scandal it would cause.

[hickman1937]

35. I don't remember where I read it,

it was awhile ago. Harry is third in line, and if he isn't a Windsor, he's not in line. Personally I don't think it matters to Chuck, he just loves that kid.

[Misunderestimator]

11. LOL

:spray:

[MollyStark]

15. He looks like Diana's father

The spencer family has the red hair and Harry has the Queens profile.
In addition the whole island is inbred. They all look alike among the upper class. There must be 8 or 9 young men that look just like harry in those families. Are they all Hewitt's sons too?

[MissMarple]

36. I agree with you. And such speculation leads nowhere,

except to hurt feelings, specifically Harry's feelings..

[Atlas Mugged]

17. It's been obvious to me for a long time.

Nice to see someone else acknowledging it.

[VolcanoJen]

20. Harry's way hotter than Wills.

And I think Harry, thanks to good hair genes, might just keep it all.

Wills should shave his head, a la Woody Harrelson. Now.

:hug: Hi Doofus! You're always my little love wombat! :hug:

[Dookus]

23. Hey!

Where you been, ya little sex-weasel?

Yer right, Will's startin' to lose his looks - just like a good Windsor.

[VolcanoJen]

27. Will is so Windsor it hurts my sensibilities.

Always thought he was a sexy young thing, then realized he was coming into his inherent horsey looks, but could expect a year or two of decent looks. I rode it out. Neiiiiigh!!

What's up, whore-rodent?

[jpgray]

21. He actually looks a good bit like the Queen

Put a pillbox and some curls around that face and it's her.

[LibDemAlways]

22. I'm with you. I've seen

photos of him where he has a resemblance to Charles. Definitely a Windsor.

[tjwmason]

37. His smile is pure Prince Philip too

On the photo above.

[MollyStark]

42. Look at their profiles

Except for the chin his is just like hers. He also has that thick wiry Spencer red hair. His Aunt Sarah has the same exact color.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. its easier to live with such things than admit it to the world

[Bullwinkle925]

25. I've always thought so as well. Would love to know the DNA results.

:eyes:

[Jilly Beans]

26. Yes, I've always noticed the resemblance

If Harry would have been the firstborn, I wonder if it would have been a problem, since then he would be a direct heir to the throne?

What do you think?

[jdj]

32. holy shit.

wow.

[Placebo]

38. These royal gene pools are so f'n close...

this is like picking potato out of a field of potatoes.

He could be the son of a horse for all I know! (or care)

[tjdee]

46. He is by far the hotter brother.

Too bad he seems to be hellbent on causing trouble and being..."the spare". How irritating must that be?
