Legend has it that when Princess Diana gave birth to her second child, Charles looked at the newborn child and was disappointed, and muttered to himself, "Another boy, still a redhead!" His unintentional words brought endless annoyance and humiliation to the later Harry.
Coincidentally, their marriage also seems to have begun to have problems since Harry was born. It was suspected that Harry might not have been Charles's biological son, otherwise why, after giving birth to Harry, Prince Charles began to change his previous sweetness towards Diana and became cold.
At the same time, it was discovered that Princess Diana had an affair with a cavalry officer named James Hewitt in the later stages of her marriage, and he happened to have red hair, so rumors spread about Harry.
The gossip that had plagued Harry since he was a child, after his first child, Archie, with his wife, Megan, was exposed to be redheads, rumors spread again that Hewitt might be Harry's true father.
Although there is various evidence that Princess Diana did not meet Hewitt until after Harry was born, people still do not want to believe Charles's attitude towards Diana and Harry, even if the evidence is in front of them.
Back in 2019, Spencer Stevenson, founder of a hair loss consultancy called Spex Hai, studied the pattern of top fading in Harry and Hewitt's head and came to a conclusion.
As his hair fades, Harry may go bald for the next two years, while Hewitt, 63, still has a thick hair that only fades slightly on the front.
Harry and Hewitt's patterns of hair loss are completely different: Harry's hair fades from the top, while Hewitt fades from the front. Harry actually inherited this type from his mother, Diana's family.
Harry would follow the pattern of his brother William and father Prince Charles, where early signs of MPB (male pattern baldness) began at the top of the head and moved forward from there, while overall diffuse thinning also occurred at the same time.
This is a classic and radical pattern of loss. It's safe to say that Harry is like the immediate royals in his family, not a small loss like Hewitt's.
So the nonsense that Hewitt was Harry's father should be put to an end, but because Archie's hair is red, it's likely to fuel conspiracy theorists' crazy claims for many years to come.
Since the couple has not shared any photos of their daughter Lily Bette with the public, it is unclear whether Lily is also a red-haired girl.
