I just wanted to say that, apparently, Prince Harry’s fellow soldiers are calling him “Ginger Bullet Magnet.”
I think he’s spit and image of his father. I think William looks just like his mother. However, I can’t imagine anyone pursuing his lineage if he was headed for the throne.
He’s the half-blood prince.
He looks just like his father, HRH Prince Charles. Got the nose and the ruddy colouring.
FWIW, Charles Spencer (Diana’s brother) has red hair.
It’s just the red hair and the similar poses. Harry has Charles’ nose, not Hewitt’s, and IMHO his eyebrows look more like Charles’ too.
Even if he isn’t Charles’s biological son he’d still be his heir as far was property is concerned. The throne is another story. The Act of Settlement governs succession to the British throne. Under the Act, the senior descendant of the Electress Sophia of Hanover is automatically sovereign, whether they wish to be or not. If Harry is not the senior heir-general of her body then he simply cannot lawfully be King*. Stuff like this is why it’s treason for a royal wives to commit adultery.
Unless of couse Parliament passes an act saying he is.
I think he just got more than a half share of Spencer traits, personally. Look at Earl Spencer (Diana’s brother):
Hemophilia affected some of the other major European royal houses, such as Spain and Prussia. They were all related.
Looking at the pics in that three-way comparison, it seems like Harry has Charles’s cheekbones, so I guess I’m leaning towards thinking that he really is Chaz’s son.
But I guess there’s only one way to settle this: Somebody call Maury Povich!
BTW, hemophilia is linked to the X-chromosome: for a female to inherit the disease, she must receive two deficient X-chromosomes, one from her mother and the other from her father, who must therefore be a hemophiliac himself.
That’s because Victoria’s descendants married into those royal houses as shown in the pedigree on this site.
Wasn’t the Duke of Kent in his 50s when Victoria was born? I read somewhere that there’s a theory that some of his sperm devoloped mutations and that’s how Victoria became a carrier.
Ooohhh, civil war! I think the public might go for that. There hasn’t been a proper civil war in the British Isles for ages (that bit of nonsense with Ulster doesn’t really count beyond a skirmish) and they could definitely do with weeding out some of the weak blood. Perhaps we can bring back the Huguenots as well to get things moving a bit on the Continent.

Robert Massie, in his book Nicholas and Alexandra, said that the hemophilia trait started with Victoria, in those families. Genes do mutate you know. He quoted Victoria as saying “Our family seems to be persecuted by this awful disease, the worst I know.”
And yes, those other houses were all related, but if you look at the genealogical charts, the members suffering from hemophilia were all descendants of Victoria. The Tsarevitch Alexis was her great-grandson. One of Victoria’s own son’s was affected, and died in his early thirties I think.
Oops, on review I see I’m a little late with the genealogy aspect.
Yes, that was the thesis of the idea I saw; the idea was that the specific mutation for hemophilia is awfully rare, and that it seemed more likely that Victoria’s father was a carrier of the gene in the first place. Therefore he must have been someone other than the Duke of Kent. But as I said, that might be a total crackpot theory–I have no idea.
