William looks more like Diana than Harry

Aside from all the petty spite the thing that I think is one of the most offensive and hurtful for William is that Harry seems to want to claim Diana as only his mother. He wants everyone to believe William and Charles are two of a kind and so are he and Diana. In his book he talks about William's resemblance to Diana fading. Surely any child could accept that a parents "belongs" equally to all children? It's such a cruel narrative for him to push.

He must be so put out that William and Diana are so alike and he is looking more and more like Charles as he gets older!

Well, yes. William has always looked very much like Diana facially (with some aspects of Charles too). Slap a blond wig on William and it'd be really obvious.
Harry looks like her a bit too, but much more like his father around the eyes and nose.
He has his aunts colouring.
But that's just children isn't it - we all have features that look like our parents and family.
I don't undertake why he's making such a big deal of it.

understand not undertake ffs 😑

The resemblance to Diana comment was weird and came across (in the translation at least) as a bit mean. I am sure William feels just as much Diana's son whatever Harry feels or says. Personally I think William looks an awful lot like her. It is the mannerisms as well as the looks. And he is now four years older than she was when she died.

Harrysfrostbittentodger · 08/01/2023 10:04

William definitely takes after Diana but you can still see the Windsor genes. As he’s gotten older he’s starting to resemble to Uncle Edward. I think George also has a look of Diana.

Harry, facially, resembles Charles and Philip, but has the Spencer’s colouring. From certain angles he has a resemblance to Uncle Charles.

Forthelast · 08/01/2023 10:05

Did he really say that, and the receding hair line comment? The catty oneupmanship is unbelievable if so.

William looks much more like Diana but does it matter.

DorritLittle · 08/01/2023 10:05

I look nothing like my mum, while my sister resembles her strongly, and I have never felt the need to think about it at all.

Don't be ridiculous ,we all.know Diana was mother to them both ,Williams always looked like her and Harry !like like Charles ,the level of craziness on this topic is out of control🙄

Dillydollydingdong · 08/01/2023 10:13

Harry doesn't look like either of his parents. He looks like Henry VIII with his red hair and small petulant mouth.

Time40 · 08/01/2023 10:19

Harry doesn't look like either of his parents

Recently I saw a photo of Charles in the mid-Seventies, when he had a beard. He looked exactly - absolutely exactly - like the present-day Harry.

Hes comments have done nothing to gain him favour if anything its had the opposite effect. He's too dim to see this. As the saying goes give enough rope he will hang himself and in this case he has. All people see is two toxic individuals who have both fallen out with their respective families and are playing the woe me act.

He's comments over the tiara say it all she should have been privileged to wear any from the collection. They are completely tone deaf to the real struggles people face in the world. Meghan complaining whilst filming in Africa. They want to push their narrative because that's all they got to sell their souls and throw anyone under the bus for 'their' truth. Meghan is just as compliance as harry is as evident in the documentary. I do believe if the sexes were reversed people would be saying harry was in a controlling relationship who's partner has isolated them from friends and family members and been spreading lies to the highest bidder.

The fact she doesn't have any contact with older friends and her family says it all. I don't think she's a nice person and I 100 percent believe she bullied the Palace staff members. I'd love to hear her exhusbands take on her.

MoirasSaggyBundles · 08/01/2023 10:26

When he says "resemblance", does he mean just physical resemblance, or does he include emotional/character resemblance? It was intimated in the bit of the book about their post (Philip's) funeral spat that William had been a substitute mum to Harry. He's talked about everything changing when William married Kate, almost like an abandonment. I think his feelings for and projected on to William go beyond the mere brotherly. So, hand in hand with Harry's behaviour where the family (and particularly William) are not covering up for him and giving him what he wants, goes the feelings of betrayal and abandonment by a parent, all conveniently manifested in the physical sense by William ageing and balding.

Well.ex husband's are generally an ex for a reason so he probably won't talk about her in glowing terms and some of her family members sound toxic .

Davros · 08/01/2023 10:39

Harry looks like Diana's brother as well

Butteredtoast55 · 08/01/2023 11:57

@Davos
He's definitely strongly like Charles and Prince Philip, with clear Spencer genes too. I think the likeness to Charles Spencer extends to personality, unfortunately.

Theunamedcat · 08/01/2023 12:05

Harry is coming across like he wants to have been her only child

I understand that William was just as damaged by his mother's mental health issues the stories of him passing notes under the bathroom door to her are heartbreaking im hoping he finds a but more peace in his lifetime

Sunbird24 · 08/01/2023 12:12

All the press stuff while they were growing up was constantly how much William looked like Diana, and what a heartthrob he was, while Harry got the James Hewitt rumours and ginger jokes. That must have been really hard for him, so petty as it is I’m not surprised he was pleased when William started going bald and looking older. Of course he’s losing his hair now too, so that’s not going to help with his insecurities.

JaneJeffer · 08/01/2023 12:31

He should do this for his next public appearance Grin

ginghamstarfish · 08/01/2023 12:37

I always thought Harry looked like his dad - the close together eyes and largish nose, and William more like his mum. No doubt Harry resents him for this too.

pocketvenuss · 08/01/2023 21:36

Harry is looking more and more like Charles. At least the ridiculous James Hewitt rumours can be laid to rest.

William is handsome with an attractive physique and a sweet personality. He has a good head shape so being bald is fine.

Harry is no match. He is very unattractive and has an unpleasant personality.

DewinDwl · 10/03/2023 14:54

Fuck. This board is getting more and more unhinged

HereComesMaleficent · 10/03/2023 15:01

William definitely looks more like his mother than his father. William also looks more like Diana than Harry does also.

Willaim has the same eyes and facial shape as his mother. But his fathers gene's are clear also.

Harry looks more like his father with the same eyes, nose and facial shape but has his mothers family colouring.

But children by nature are always a mix of both parents in some way or form.

Harry publically mocking William for going bald and "looking less like his mither" I personally found very cruel and uncalled for.

Both Willaim and Harry are Diana's sons, I'm not sure why Harry is trying to push William out of this narrative, it's strange

Arrocahar23 · 10/03/2023 15:04

He’s jealous.

jeffgoldblum · 10/03/2023 15:13

This thread is from January?

mathanxiety · 10/03/2023 15:15

Could there be a more petty thread?

Take a look at the Georgian ancestors of the Mountbatten Windsors and see if you can spot a few dead ringers for William.
