“The gene for red hair is recessive, so a person needs two copies of that gene for it to show up or be expressed. That means even if both parents carry the gene, just one in four of their children are likely to turn out to be a redhead”

My mother and my aunt were both redheads, and each had just one red haired child, out of three and four, respectively. No idea what my father or uncle had, as far as recessive genes, but neither had red haired siblings.

I think Prince Philip may have had that gene through his Danish relatives. Some pictures of Harry look a lot like his grandfather, too.

I’ve had my dna done and I am also a carrier of that gene.
