To be bemused that so many people STILL think James Hewitt is Harry's father...

Confused

Why do people think this? They don't look alike - the only thing they have in common is the red hair, but Hewitt's is wavy, whereas Harry's looks like a loo-brush, not at all dissimilar to Earl Spencer's.

Plus - wouldn't one of the tabloids have swiped a hair off his jacket while rolling out of a club at 3 in the morning, had it analysed and flogged the story by now if there anything even remotely in it at all.

I always think people are a wee bit simple/naive when they trot out this old chestnut. Grin

Hewitt would keep his mouth shut if he was paid enough and warned to within an inch of his life. If it is the case well done Charles for taking him on and being so utterly devoted to him. If not how shitty for the boy to have his life questioned so much. Either way does it matter?

Both Charles and Phillip have massive conks! Nothing like Harry's.

I always think that William and Peter Phillips are the spit of each other, and that all the royals have a certain "look" about them that Harry doesn;t have.

He is much better looking, and I don't think resembles the Windsors. But who knows?

HerRoyalHighnessSarahStratton · 01/05/2011 22:50

His nose is the same shape as Phillip/Charles, much bonier than Hewitt's.

wotnochocs · 01/05/2011 22:50

I don't think he is that like Hewitt.Different shaped ears eyes and nose.the pictures may be doctored a bit too.

SpotsMumSally · 01/05/2011 22:53

I think they have very similar features.

fearnelinen · 01/05/2011 22:55

Precisely - Harry is quite fit so he cannot be a royal! He is also a cad - even his walk is Hewitt-like, he's all bow legged, show me another royal with that particular trait. It's so bloody obvious, I get why Charles loves him, but the real test will be if the Queen treats him like her other grandsons when he finally marries.

It matters not a jot - except that maybe people shouldn't believe what they are spoonfed!

SybilBeddows · 01/05/2011 22:59

I thought Hewitt appeared on some low-rent tv show where minor slebs got hypnotised, and under 'hypnosis' he 'remembered' that he'd actually begun the relationship with Diana earlier.

have I completely misremembered/imagined this?

thing is with Hewitt, it was when he was putting himself about trying to be a tv personality (remember him turning up on Top Gear and they pretended not to recognise him and writing him down on the board as 'well-spoken man') and one almost felt at the time he would have said or done anything to keep himself in the public eye.

marmaladetwatkins · 01/05/2011 23:03

He looks like Prince Phil.

No-one gives a crap. Please stop discussing the alleged paternity of my future husband, it upsets him when he has to read this tosh. Thanks.

GKlimt · 01/05/2011 23:04

Harry's resemblance to Hewitt is very superficial - thick reddish hair. On the other hand Harry is so much like Charles Spencer & his teenage son, Viscount something. Also Harry has something of the male Spencer line in other respects like ....the bon vivant, 'ladies man'. I think.

blackeyeddog · 01/05/2011 23:07

Harry and Hewitt have the same nose - based on the first working link. The pics that SugarPaste links to the nose of Philip/ Harry are enrirely different.

Philip is very pointy facially while harry has ruggedness and is a bit silly similar to Hewitt.

We need cross analysis of Di, Charles, Queen, Philip.

I had the same thought at the same time *Sugerpastefrog" It was the eyes, he has the same twinkle.

Pancakeflipper · 01/05/2011 23:11

Hewitt was financially on the skids the other year, I so reckon he'd have blabbed. Cos if he is getting paid by the Royal Firm it ain't much.

Sorry Marmalade if this is distressing you... Just so you know my bottom is as pert as Pippa M's so a bridesmaids dress like that would suit ( and I can handle the slagger-offs on a forum who reckon it's the size of a small country). Ta.

Actually I am so lying about my bum. It's not been that pert since 1995.

marmaladetwatkins · 01/05/2011 23:11

Look, there's only one way to settle this;

DNA test on Jeremy Kyle.

megapixels · 01/05/2011 23:16

I am yet to see a picture where Harry looks like Hewitt. The only resemblance I think is the hair colour and the fact that they are both human.

There were some pictures of Harry at the wedding where he looked exactly like Phillip. I hadn't noticed until then how similar they were because Harry does look quite different because of the hair and freckles etc., but the bone structure is exactly the same.

I'd never heard the one about Andrew before. On googling, Andrew certainly looks a LOT like Lord Porchester doesn't he? More so than Harry and Hewitt.
