Rosacea and the Wales Family

[Lady Bluffton]

Is it just me, or do the Wales' boys have galloping cases of rosacea? Especially Harry? Did Diana have that, too? What about Charles and his siblings?

According to many Rosacea websites and the book by Ann Chubb entitled "Royal Fashion and Beauty Secrets" Diana was thought to have a mild case of Rosacea.

"Among the most famous rosacea sufferers is former President Bill Clinton, whose doctors disclosed that he has this condition in The New York Times. Others reported to have suffered from the disorder include Princess Diana, financier J.P. Morgan and the Dutch painter Rembrandt. "

It is prince Chas who has the rosacea. More often than not, Chas' face is blotched red. His hands are always red and frequently swollen. He is also a nail biter.

Unfortunately, Chas has passed this onto Princess Diana and his sons, Princes William and Harry.


Their faces frequently have the red blotchiness.

Rosacea isn't contagious, so there's no way Charles passed it on to Diana. It's quite prevalent in people of Northern European descent, as both Charles and Diana are, so the odds are good that they both had it and passed it on to their sons.

How can you say that Chas has passed this onto Princess Diana? Rosacia is not a contagious condition!

Let's see some photos...I remember photos of Princess Diana as a young girl with relatively little makeup show clear signs of rosacea. I've not noticed that as much with Prince Charles.

If Prince Charles is the genetic link, then where is he getting it from? Queen or Prince Philip?
