He gave her a horse named Gary? Did he get it from Rev. Jim Ignatowski?
Now, if you’re going to be that picky about it – in the earliest tradition, any child borne by a king’s wife was considered his legitimate heir. It was for the very reason that one might not be able to know for sure who a man’s father is that a king often traced his right to the throne through his mother rather than through his father.
Fair point, but then again, modern British royal heredity is handed down paternally, so that’s not necessarily correct.
My brother and I don’t look like each other at all. I take after dad, and he takes after mom’s side of the family. My sister also takes after mom.
If I could be really pedantic, I’m not relying on Hewitt; I only cited him to show that what he actually says does not support the claim that he says that he had met her in 1981. We don’t need Hewitt’s account to establish that they probably met for the first time in 1986, although Hewitt’s version is naturally more detailed and the other evidence suggests that, on this point at least, he is telling the truth. The date of the meeting has been the subject of considerable scrutiny, not so much because Hewitt might have fathered Prince Harry but because an earlier date would strengthen Charles’s claim that he only resumed his relationship with Camilia after Diana had strayed. Evidence that Diana knew Hewitt at any point between Harry’s conception and mid-1986 would be very convenient for Charles. If such evidence existed, we would have heard about it.
It doesn’t really matter, because William is a dead-spit for Charles and he’s the bloodline heir.
Of course if we weren’t still “ruled” by a fucking undemocratic anachronism, it wouldn’t be any issue whether either boy was black, white, speckled or martian.
Lets leave the EU out of this one…
They wouldn’t be the first royal “bastards” and they certainly won’t be the last.
But… but… Harry is the spit of Hewitt. Have a look at a picture of Hewitt in his twenties. And he’s got red hair. That would have to be a serious throwback in both Diana’s and Charles’s families.
OH well, one thing is good - at least the dear lad’s fondness for marijuana might prevent him from getting anorexia like the sainted Diana.
I think Harry looks a good bit like her brother (also named Charles). He has red hair. And didn’t her father also have red hair when he was younger?
I remember reading something that Charles (the Prince) said when Harry was born to the effect of him being disappointed that he had that “ugly” Spencer red hair.
There something curious about Princess Diana’s children but it has nothing to do with James Hewitt. It’s the fact that Prince William almost looks like a clone of his Uncle Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother. When I think of that I remember how Kevin Spacey began his acting career: as one of the Profitts in Wiseguy. Remember the rich, incestuous brother and sister crime bosses? Why do the rich and incestuous always seem so sexy? I mean, the poor and incestuous end up (in popular imagination anyway) with totally unglamorous web-toed children.
Also, at Diana’s funeral there was a cousin of Harry’s (presumably on his Mum’s side) that looked the spit and image of Harry.
I remebered thinking at the time that if Harry ever needed a body double for some reason then his cousin would be perfect. Of course now they are older the similarities may have changed.
My two aunt (married to two different men) each has a son that looks identical to the other’s son. In both cases they are blond boys and in both cases neither parent is blond… things like that can happen. It’s the wonder of genetics.
Anyway as istara said William is in line for the throne so what does it matter? (however I am not anti-monarchy:) )
Neither of them resembles Diana. I suspect Charles was the one having an affair.
How long must that woman be dead before the world ceases to be obsessed! She was a pretty, dumb, blonde who married a high profile type…then she DIED…get over her already!!! Charlie will make a good King, he is his Mothers’ son. Camilla is much more Queen material then Barbie…ooops Dianna ever was. Dianna would have made a damn fine “Miss Universe” though. All that “I’m shy but I want to save the world” stuff.
Are you kidding? William looks just like his mother, IMO.
As for Charles having an affair, well, of course. Maybe the ones to DNA-type are Camilla’s kids. Who do they resemble?
I always thought that Prince Andrew was certainly not Prince Phillip’s son. I think the Queen herself was guilty of a little horizontal hokey pokey outside the bonds of holy, royal matrimony.
