My daughter has the biggest crush on that kid, she thinks he is cute. Thank goodness he doesn’t look like Charles. ( who looks like a horse).

Royal Watchers ping. (And Cute Boy ping to #20, n.)

~~sigh~~
old lady gossip and long disproven.

Besides, look at a pic of younger Andrew/Edward, the Duke of Windsor OR Di’s bro-— that’s who he looks like.

[najida]

See my above post——

Old gossip and Di didn’t get involved with Hewitt until 3 years after Harry’s birth...and only AFTER the finall Camilla fall out.

[najida]

Thanks! I’m a big fan of Brit Hx....and Di did a great job with her boys.

[RDTF]

I’m not so sure

[najida]

I strongly disagree-— and if you look a pictures of the Windsor side, as well as Di’s brother, Harry is part of the family.

I’m not saying Di was an angel, but there were things even she wouldn’t have done-— sadly, putting all of Charles stuff in front of the palace and setting it on fire wasn’t one of them.

[Mr. Silverback]

More smooth kills, brought to you by your United States Air Force.

Thank you for the assist (and your bravery) WIDOW 67. Nice to see you're living up to your family's reputation for bravery under fire.

[Tax-chick]

RDTF, do you honestly think that if there were any doubt in the minds of the Queen and Prince Charles about Harry’s father, that it wouldn’t have been dealt with. Even in the Old Days, before DNA testing, they always seemed to manage to get a legitimate son on the throne.

[Tax-chick]

Harry looks a lot like young Prince Andrew in the post 20 picture - the different hair color doesn’t show under the beret.

[Mr. Silverback]

Even if Hewitt is his biological dad, his bravery comes through the Windsor line. Charles never saw combat but is said to have been an impressive and physically courageous officer who once "disrupted" a security exercise by commandeering a chopper and flying himself and his sister away from the bad guys. Uncle Andrew put his royal butt on the line to rescue survivors from the Atlantic Conveyor

during the Falklands conflict.

[RDTF]

LOL - I don’t know (or care). I just know that his DNA seems different - and he not only acts and looks just like him he has the exact same walk, expressions and mannerisms too.

Hey now...there's no need to insult horses.

[Mr. Silverback]

You know, maybe we got it all wrong when we rejected the monarchy. I mean, three heartbeats from the British crown is this young, capable, intelligent soldier; three heartbeats from the American presidency is Robert Byrd.

Get ahold of a book called King, Kaiser, Tsar and read the parts about "Eddie", aka, Prince Albert Victor. Britain dodged a bullet big time when he died of influenza and his brother George became the crown prince.

[Mr. Silverback]

It used to be a tradition for the younger brother of the crown prince to join the Army or Navy (usually Navy) and stay in it for life, often becoming admirals or generals on merit alone. Based on this report and his fierce loyalty to his men, that might just be a good career path for him.

[Mr. Silverback]

Here's a painting of Andrew doing his bit as a Sea king pilot:

At the time of this rescue work, the Brits were expecting a follow-on Argentine attack at any moment, IIRC.

Hewitt is an ass, and you don't have to like Charles to respect his family's habit of getting into the thick of combat and doing a good job while there.

[cpdiii]

Yep, he drinks beer, chases women and can fight.

His older brother Andrew also excels in this also. In fact during the Falklands war the queen instructed the captain of Andrew's ship that the fact he was royalty was to have no bearing on his service. Andrew was a chopper pilot and went out and fought just like the other pilots. I wish it were Harry or Andrew in line for the throne and not Charles. However, I suspect it is a lot more fun to be Andrew or Harry as opposed to the Prince of Wales.

Agreed!

Back in the old days, when English wealth was mainly predicated on land ownership, the practice of primogeniture often resulted in younger sons of the aristocracy taking up commissions in the Army or Navy.

[Just mythoughts]

YOUR supposed point being?

[Stonewall Jackson]

Indeed.

It looks like Harry has really grown up over the past couple of years.

BTW, I really like his call sign, Widow 67.
