Do you believe that Prince Harry was fathered by Charles?

[KurtNYC]

This came up in another thread and I'm was surprised to see how few people mentioned or made reference to it. It is widely believed that the reason Harry looks and acts so differently from his brother is that the father is in fact Major James Hewitt. Stories (with pics):

But do you believe that Charles is not the father? or is it just the product of hunger for more scandals involving the Royal family?

1. No.

[WI_DEM]

2. actually I think he looks like Charles while William looks like Di

[goclark]

3. I believe he is Harry Hewitt

The royals are twins to the Bush Crooks.

[librechik]

I think he looks just like the Queen

the eyes are Windsor, not Hewitt, IMO

[elehhhhna]

4. Yes they both have tea pot ears.

5. threads like this bring out the worst of humanity

Gossip is hurtful and might best be left to others on a self-destruct train.

[amazona]

23. gossip is what caused the human brain to develop

Gossip is actually valuable and is now believed to be the reason that human beings evolved such large brains. If you think about it, you will realize that it is highly unlikely that our ancestors on the East African savannah of a million years ago were doing much advanced differential equations in their leisure time.

Gossip about celebrities, far from being harmful, is a fun way to bond with other people without harming anyone.

The celebs are benefited by the publicity.

The regular guys are benefited because we can enjoy the pleasures of human fraility without spreading rumors about real people on the ground in our circle.

Everybody wins.

Prince Harry did not put on a Nazi uniform because he wished to go un-noticed in the media.

6. Major Hewitt strongly denies it.....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2273498.stm

A British friend thinks so--& says many others in the UK believe the same. Personally, I'd think a bit of fresh blood is needed from time to time--all that inbreeding.

[JanMichael]

7. No, and I never have

I am convinced...and always have been...that that child is Hewitt's---not that it matters--I always thought he was a cutie. He needs to be slapped all to hell and back about the current stunt though--what a crock of shit that was.

I hope he is not a litte snotwad...but, it sure looks that way.

[nickinSTL]

8. Hewitt has denied it

and he and Diana did not start a relationship until Harry was a toddler.

Harry looks quite a bit like Charles if you see him in the right shot.

The red hair is not from Hewitt, but both from the Spencers (Diana's family has a lot of red hair) and somewhat from the Windsors as well.

Harry is Charles' son. I'm as sure of that as possible without intimate information or a DNA test.

[itzamirakul]

9. WTF difference does it make?

They all have German blood....so what's the big deal? If Charles has accepted him why do you want to make a thing of it?

[demnan]

10. No way

The kid is Charles all over again. Look at the eyes and shape of the face. He looks more like Charles than William does, which is why he's the wild ugly one.

[Jacobin]

11. No.

He is an absolute clone of his mother's lover. They are identical

[AP]

14. He also seems to be avoiding the Windsor balding pattern.

[underpants]

12. Michael J. Fox?

[AP]

13. One of the best stories I heard about Diana was that she was

watching TV one night with her kids and there was a call-in telephone poll, "Do you think the monarchy should be abolished?"

She dialed in something like 500 times "Yes." (Who pays those phone bills? That was probably the best use of taxpayer money EVER by the royal family.) Then she handed the phone to her older son and let him make his own choice. I can't remember what he did, but I think the story goes that he voted Yes as well.

So, sometimes I like to imagine that maybe she thought she'd really fuck with royal blood lines and have a child with a man she loved instead of with her husband.

But most of the time I have to say that I really don't care who either of those boys' father is one way or the other.

[hippiechick]

15. I think he sortof looks like Diana's brother.

But there IS an incredible resemblance to Hewitt.


:hippie:

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. At Diana's funeral

Not quite so easy to see with Harry that young, but I think his profile does look quite like his uncle.

[tanyev]

19. Yes, I wondered about Hewitt

being Harry's father almost as soon as we started seeing pictures of Hewitt, but there are several sources that say Diana did not meet Hewitt until after Harry was born. It finally occurred to me one day to compare pictures of Harry and Diana's brother, and I think that is where Harry's un-Windsor traits come from. Hewitt's general resemblance to her father and brother could even explain why Diana found him attractive.

[sportndandy]

16. No and I think JFK jr. resembled Halston

[ChickMagic]

17. Charles is his father

There have been redheads in the family before, and I believe it was the red hair that got the rumor started. At any rate, it doesn't matter. Since Charles and Diana were married, he is legally Charles' son.

[MadHound]

20. Look at the nose, ears and eyes

Large bumpy nose, car door ears, and the Windsor eyes. That's Charlie's kid.

[CountAllVotes]

21. well Diana WAS screwing Hewitt

and that is a FACT. Then, the miracle 'child' we see here was 'conceived'. Then we suddenly have Harry! Gee lucky us I guess.

:eyes:

It's Hewitt's kid but an inbred nonetheless, swastika and all. The royals should be hiding their heads in the sand but oh yeah that's right, they are no different than the rest of the 'aristocracy' in this world. :puke:

[amazona]

22. if the royal family cares they can DNA test

If this is really an issue and there is some risk that this child might ever become king, then they could easily determine by DNA test whether or not Charles was the father.

Diana had one job, which was to produce royal offspring of the correct bloodline. If the bulimic hysteric couldn't even get that right, well, what can you say? It is not my job to correct the problem. I'm not British. My money doesn't go to pay for this circus. Perhaps the British feel the entertainment and tourist value of the various royal scandals are good value for the money.

Perhaps the whole Nazi uniform nonsense is a carefully calculated publicity stunt. Perhaps the "who's the father" scandal is another. Stranger things have happened.

24. Harry also looks like other members of Diana's family.

He very much resembles her brother Lord Spencer. I thought too that he looked a bit unlike the rest of the family, but my late husband pointed out the resemblence between Harry and Diana's brother.

25. The Question Is: Who Fathered Charles?

As he ages, Charles bears an increasingly remarkable resemblance to Sir Anthony Blunt. For many years, Elizabeth kept Blunt on the payroll as the Royal art curator, despite the allegations (confirmed after his death) that Blunt was part of Kim Philby's spy ring.

Seriously, does anyone know if Blunt is a relative on the Mountbatten side? His face and ears have the same characteristic features that runs through that family, fortunately watered-down in the current crop of Royals by Diana's rather more attractive face.

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. Charles looks very like the Duke of Edinburgh

"Blunt was born to minor privilige, his father being the chaplain to the British Embassy in Paris." (http://www.lib.duke.edu/lilly/artlibry/dah/blunta.htm)

Unlikely he'd be related to the Battenbergs - they were minor German and Danish royalty, sent to be kings of Greece, when such things were thought necessary.

[leveymg]

27. Must be the same pallor and melancholic expression brought on by castle liv

ing. Blunt's nose is way too small, but the hangdog eyes are vaguely similar. My theory about a family relationship would have explained too much, either way, to be true.

Elizabeth's relationship with Blunt is interesting, though.

Nice to meet the resident subject matter expert.
