Alleged DNA Test Involving Princess Lilibet Sparks Widespread Speculation and Controversy Across the UK
A wave of speculation has swept across the United Kingdom following claims of a controversial DNA test allegedly conducted using a lock of hair said to belong to Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
According to unverified sources citing a confidential royal insider, the sample was sent for private analysis under a pseudonym. The reported results have sparked dramatic headlines and online speculation, suggesting an unexpected revelation: that Princess Lilibet is not biologically related to either the Duke or Duchess of Sussex.
The same reports allege a genetic match instead with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine Middleton—an extraordinary and highly contentious claim.
> “The results were… impossible to ignore,” said the unnamed source quoted in the original report. “They indicated that Lilibet is not genetically linked to either Harry or Meghan.”
These allegations, if true, would represent a major disruption to the narrative surrounding the younger generation of the British Royal Family. However, there is currently no official evidence supporting the existence of the DNA test, nor confirmation of its authenticity.
Social media has been inundated with speculative theories—ranging from mistaken identity or fertility clinic confusion to more elaborate, and unsubstantiated, conspiracy scenarios involving surrogacy and royal cover-ups. A few theories even suggest that Lilibet may have been placed under the care of Harry and Meghan as part of a covert agreement intended to mend fractured family ties—an idea dismissed by most royal observers as far-fetched.
As of now, Kensington Palace has declined to comment, and representatives for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have categorically dismissed the story, calling it “laughable and pure fiction.”
Buckingham Palace has not issued a public statement, and its silence has only fueled further speculation.
While experts and royal commentators urge the public to treat these claims with caution—especially given the lack of substantiation—the story has nonetheless captivated global attention. The incident has already been dubbed “HairGate” on social media, with users questioning the veracity and implications of such claims.
Until credible evidence or official statements are made available, this story remains firmly in the realm of speculation. Still, its viral spread illustrates the public’s enduring fascination with royal intrigue.
