To think that prince Harry

[MrsBucketxx]

is not Charles son. looks way to much like James Hewitt, to me.

i think charles knows too, and did the right thing.

[HMQueenElizabeth]

Bugger! Thank you pedant! I have promoted myself to Her Majesty now!

[HMQueenElizabeth]

Clara I think you have proved it once and for all. It's all in the eyes!

[CaveMum]

"The Quuen was punching a over her weight, looks wise, in marrying Prince Philip"

Rubbish! The Queen was a stunner in her youth.

[TheOneWithTheCrown]

I agree CaveMum

[MrsBucketxx]

I'm not saying that she was not attractive just that pp was better looking than her jeesh. I'm not bashing the queen.

[YouOldSlag]

Yes but PP was absolutely SKINT in his youth and his family were in exile. I read he had one shirt which he had to wash out every night when he stayed at people's country piles. He hasn't had to do that since he proposed!

[MrsBucketxx]

i do wonder if it was as much as a love match for him as for her, HM was clearly besotted with him.

[YouOldSlag]

I've often wondered too Mrs Bucket (or is it pronounced Bouquet?)

I think they genuinely like each other though.

[YouOldSlag]

I mean, there still seems to be a warm bond and he makes her laugh, but yeah, she was besotted all right.

[MrsBucketxx]

defo bucket, though i can be a snob at times sense the name.

[MrsBucketxx]

yes i think he is very fond of her too, and love her still in his own way. He still has that naughty sexy twinkle even now.

[YouOldSlag]

Oh yes indeed- did you see him leering at Carla Bruni Sarkozy that time? He was like a cat that's found a mouse.

[MsPaperbackWriter]

Really, what a pointless, nasty thread. Of course he is charle's son.

[Hullygully]

why of course?

[MrsBucketxx]

i get that now paper if you had read the thread he looks like his maternal aunt, and pp in his youth.

[MamaMary]

OP, you're totally wrong. He does look like Charles. In fact he looks more like Charles than William does, and what's more he looks like Prince Philip too.

Diana met James Hewitt two years after Harry was born.

MamaMary you need to read the thread. The op gets it. Really she does. :)

I love this picture

[SaliFourth]

I think if you saw this pic without knowing who these two are, you might well say doesn't the son look just like his dad?

[MrsBucketxx]

love that pic bronze :o

Prince Philip might have been poor - but he was a Prince of Greece, so pretty good breeding there! Infact, aren't he and the Queen third cousins or something?

[CaveMum]

Prince Philip is the oldest living great-great grandchild of Queen Victoria, being descended from Victoria's daughter Princess Alice.

The Queen is also a great-great grandchild of Queen Victoria, being descended from Victoria's son King Edward VI.

According to Wikipedia, in 1993 they used some of Prince Philip's DNA to help to identify the remains of Empress Alexandra of Russia and her family, as she was also descended from Princess Alice of England.

[YouOldSlag]

Agreed- his breeding is impeccable.

[CaveMum]

I've just realised my last post makes me sound all professory-nerdy, which I ain't! That was all copied from Wikipedia

[YouOldSlag]

CaveMum- you're secret's safe with me (and the internet.

I got my knowledge from reading The Royals by Kitty Kelley- Oooh it's a juicy read! (I haven't old any of my RL friends I've read it though).
