It won't make any difference whether it's published or not. The published results of the French inquiry into Diana's death didn't stop the rumour mills about whether she was murdered. If the British inquest comes to the conclusion of accidental death, it won't stop the rumour mills. No amount of evidence has made any difference to the people who are sure the Moon landings were just a hoax perpetuated by a conspiracy theory. It'll be the same thing here.

But to doubt the parentage means to slander the mother who, while having had affairs in her life must not have been so stupid! In the Ken Wharfe-book he quotes Diana as having said (he claims he had only one converstaion with her about it and she was "in tears" about the claim that Harry was not Charles' son): "I don't know how my husband and I did have Harry because by then he had already gone back to his lady, but one thing that is absolutely certain is that we did". And he adds: "And I believe her absolutely" (p. 45 of the Wharfe book: Diana - closely guarded secrets).

As for the colouring of Harry as "proof" aka "smoke", so there must have been a fire: he looks like the son of his aunt. Thus it's no proof at all!

The rumour has been about since the boy was born and even some of those who support Diana, even now, believe that it was Dianas payback on the royals, that she deserved every happiness and if Harry was the result, so be it. People shouldn't keep putting all the negative things about Diana down to people who didn't like her. The way any proven nasty bits are glossed over is tedious.

Do you mean to say that back in 1984, years before the rumours about extramarital affairs started up and two years before Hewitt and Diana claimed to have met, there were already rumours that this guy nobody had ever heard of was the father of Prince Charles's younger son?

If Harry were a blonde or a brunette, we probably wouldn't be having this debate. I think the major factor of the whole thing is he shares Hewitt's hair color.

Well, nothing has ever been published to prove that my uncle or a friend of my father's was not my father, so it could be a fact that I'm not my father's biological daughter... Or the same for you. Has someone ever proven that your mother's best male friend is not your biological father instead of the man you call Dad? Are you openminded about that possibility as well? I have to confess, I'm no. My Dad is my Dad and my Mum did not cheat on him. As long as nobody really proves otherwise, it's a fact that children born in wedlock are legitimate and their official father's children. IMHO.

yes, i'm saying that i'm open minded to the question of who his father is. however, i'm not questioning who his mother is.

since you've decided to make this personal then yes, i'm open minded to, and have, for various reasons throughout my life, given serious thought to the possibility that neither of parents are my bioligical parents. have i ever taken measures to find out - no. do i need to take measures to find out - no - because i feel the same way - my father is my father and even if i did find out that he's not my biological father it wouldn't change the way i feel about him.

having said all that, suppose for some crazy reason it was proven that hewitt was the father. i don't think it would change the way harry feels about charles. you are right, charles is his father...and been a damn good one from what i've seen. but for me, i remain open minded about it.

i'm not slandering anyone...and for all time and all over the world a lot people have questioned their parentage for various reasons.

i'm totally lost on the second part of your post. i was just saying that just because harry looks like a spencer doesn't mean that would eliminate hewitt as the potential biological father. is that what you mean that just because he looks like his aunt he could be her son? i suppose that's a good point too. however do we want to open that can worms?

The problems with looks is that people can look like others without actually being at all related. I have a alot of lookalike friends, namely one of the Queen and of Joan Collins. Just because they look extraordinarily like the Queen and Joan, doesn't mean they're related.

I do not believe for a moment that Hewitt is Harry's father. The red hair is a Spencer trait and Harry has Charles' face and features. As willful as Diana could be, she never would have given birth to a child who was not of the blood royal during her marriage.

People forget that Diana had royal protection officers watching her every move, including who she was sleeping with and the royal family is often spied on by MI6. There is no way The Queen would not know if Hewitt was, in fact, Harry's father.

Leonie · #**129** 06-17-2007, 06:01 PM

lets really think here, just say that harry was hewitts son do you really think the queen and charles would let the whole public know, i for one doubt that, for all we know hewitt might be his father but they will kept that secret we would never know for certain.

A few years ago when there was rumours in the papers along with pictures i did think well maybe he was, but the other day i saw a clip of harry from an interview that will be shown the day before dianas concert and he looks the spitting image of charles, in the last 2years the pictures of harry you can not deny that charles is his father.

She denied having a sexual relationship with her bodyguard, but you are quite right the queen would have known if Harry wasn't her grandson.

Duchess · #**131** 06-17-2007, 07:05 PM

i did say in an earlier post that harry has mannerisms that are undeniably charles-like. i don't however think he looks one iota like him. i agree that if in fact he was hewitt's child we will never know about it. i think he resembles hewitt moreso but as someone said earlier that's not something that you can go and i agree with that. we all have a "twin". anyway...i haven't meant to start arguments i just wanted to give an opinion and i hope i haven't tread on anyone's toes. this is quite a delicate subject and i respect EVERYONE'S thoughts on it.

Therefore, it follows if he wasn't, both the Government and the Crown would have taken action to deny him right of succession and his style and title of HRH Prince of the UK.

Even in a modern society, there is no way Harry would be allowed to be in line to the throne if he wasn't Charles' son.

Duchess · #**133** 06-17-2007, 07:57 PM

true enough but would they tell the world if he wasn't charles's biological son? if they denied him the styles and titles wouldn't it be saying something they didn't want the world to know?

Do you really think so? I think that to make noises about denying Harry such things because he's not Charles' son would open a can of worms the RF wouldn't want to open. The republicans would love it and public opinion would turn against them because it would be very cruel. No, even if Harry is Hewitt's child and the RF know it, they'll keep it quiet and keep their fingers crossed that William marries early and breeds quickly.

Indeed, especially back in 1984 when the Wales marriage was still supposed to be a happy one. It would have created a really major scandal, and the fallout would have been hugely damaging to the monarchy.

I find Prince Harry's features very close to the Spencer family...All the Hewitt affair is ridicoulous. The man must be wanting publicity or something...

Oh, wait. And maybe my father is not my father...For nobody had already said that my next door neighbor was not...and maybe he is.
