Default Claims about James Hewitt and Prince Harry's paternity

This is really ridiculous, have they seen Prince Harry's recent picture? His resemblance to his father is really striking. If they alleged Prince Harry is Hewitt's son, I'm going to start thinking of the possibility only if they prove Hewitt is in turn Prince Philip's love child, because Prince Harry does resemble his father and grandfather quite a lot.

I have to disagree with you Avalon, if you put pictures of Charles, Harry and James side by side, the resemblance to James is startling. However it is immaterial who his biological father was, he is Charles' son.

I guess I'm disagreeing right back; I remember seeing a photo of Harry in camouflage and I really thought it was Charles for a moment. And there are other photos where he strongly resembles Prince Philip. The major resemblance to James Hewitt, IMO, is his colouring, which he also shares with his Spencer ancestors. To me, Diana looks a lot more like Jemima Goldsmith than Harry looks like James Hewitt.

Well I always thought Harry looked like his uncle Earl Spencer but that doesn't prove things one way or another with Harry's paternity.

Having seen them in the flesh (so to speak), I hold with the view that Harry looks more like Hewitt, but then I also think Diana looks more like a Goldsmith!

I'm almost convinced that Charles is the father of Harry but one thing still makes me doubt : why didn't the royal family make the parternity test public ?
It wouldn't cost a penny and would stop the rumors !

Perhaps because it didn't show a result they wanted the public to know about!

yes but seriously a paternity test would be an insult to Diana (whether one has been done or not it should never be acknowledged)

Maybe an insult but it would finally stop those people spreading rumors.

What paternity test? There's never been any indication that one was even conducted. For that matter, WHY should the Royal Family reveal any results publicly? Simply because the press decided to doubt Harry's paternity?

Charles is Harry's father-he has been from the day Harry was born. Legally, emotionally, and, in all likelihood, biologically. A paternity test wouldn't change that, and, for once, I applaud Charles for his refusal to give credence to the rumor by paying it any attention at all.

It wouldn't really matter what they did. Even if there was to be a ten-year enquiry into Harry's paternity, there would still be those who'd claim "coverup!" or "conspiracy!"

Unless the Royal Family intend to establish a precedent where every royal paternity is publicly examined, why would they do it for Harry (and his late mother)? As far as they are concerned, Harry is Charles' son; we can believe whatever we want to believe.

Me, too. The fact that people talk about somebody (and people talk about anybody) can't lead to the fact that from now on anybody has to wash his family's linen in public! The idea of privacy is not there because people want it but because they need it.

Even if Charles isn't the biological father of Harry, he is undoubtably the one who raised him. Hewitt, who claims to be his father, never tried to see him or anything. He's not a father to me ...

As I said umpteen posts back and in the other threads where this has been discussed.... No matter who donated the sperm, Charles is Harrys father and has been since the moment the child was born!

When did Hewitt claim to be Harry's father? I've never read anyhing like that. on the contrary, Everthing I've read suggests that they started their relationship when Harry was a toddler. Did I miss a news flash?
