Good point Warren. :)

I don't think Harry looks like the Windsors but that hardly makes him Hewitt's son. I guess the papers are going on the fact that most of the Windsors look alike so if Harry doesn't, he must be a Hewitt.

The Windsors may pass down strong genes but it doesn't mean that everyone in the family has got to look the same. It was the same with JFK Jr. growing up. All the Kennedys looked alike except for him.

Whenever someone says this based on looks, I always direct them here ; www.queenlookalike.com - Now, Elizabeth is a dear friend of mine and I can vouch that she isn't an illegitimate twin or related to Royalty at all - but she looks like the Queen. Looks mean nothing.

Looks don't mean that much. Almost all of our DNA is exactly like the royals. Its just that 1% difference.

I have always thought that Harry looked more like his cousins on the Spencer side of the family. I haven't seen photos in ages but I remember seeing them at Diana's funeral. It would be interesting to see current photos of the Spencer cousins to compare.

With regards to hair colour (which is all he apparently has in common with Hewitt) not exactly the most reliable comparison to parents. I am one of three girls (with the same parents), I am a brunette, and my one sister is red-haired while the other is blonde.:)

Harry is a strange mixed version of his parents, it happens in many families that one kid looks like noone and everyone at the same time. All in all, I think Harry resembles Charles more than Diana!

But Pollyemma, don't you think he would be even hotter if he considered getting a chin tuck at the same time as his nose job?

Which ones? I doubt there are many pics of them though.

Considering we have the same DNA as cows minus 2-4%, that is saying a lot.

I don't think it was the cows.
It was the primates. …cows would turn the Charles Darwin’s theory up-side down.

Sooo suddenly Hewitts says that his affair with Di started in 1982? How interesting... I guess we will soon be graced with a new updated and improved version of his master piece A Princess in Love (one got to pay one's taxes, and Bentleys don't come cheap).
PLEASE folks, get real. Jamie sold about everything there was to be sold about DI. Do you really believe, feeling a ultimate remorse when writing his book or giving tell-all interviews, or selling intimates letters to the highest bidder, he did decide to act gentlemanly in falsify the date of the dalliance? To protect Harry? 'So yeah I can write about the sessions in the stables but let's not hurt the little boy'. Suuure.
Whatever, Harry looks like a perfect blend of Philips and Charles Spencer. The red hair is a Spencer trademark. Diana herself was a venetian blond (she died her hair fair blond), just like William is.

And as Branchg wrote, end of the story.

Have you studied genetics? We share over 98.5 percent of our DNA with the chimpanzees. Only a tiny bit of the genome makes us human.

Wow, genetics getting off topic. Yeah, Harry probably is Charles' son.

Yeah, strange things happen to threads. Here we have Prince Harry News and Pictures; instead we have cows, chimpanzees, genomes, and Charles Darwin.

Do you think the "question" (or rumors) of the uncertainity of Harry's paternity is the reason why certain members of the royal family seem to favor William over him?

I don't think the uncertainty is why some family members favor William. Harry has done some wild things in the past that some of his family may disapprove of. William just seems calmer, I guess you could say more dignified since William knows his future is different than Harry's. Harry seems to be more fun though .
