Prince Harry Reportedly Opens Up About Paternity Rumors Surrounding Daughter Lilibet

In a deeply personal and unexpected disclosure, Prince Harry has reportedly acknowledged that he may not be the biological father of his daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor — a revelation that has generated widespread attention and speculation within royal circles and beyond.

According to sources, the Duke of Sussex made this confession in what was intended to be a private conversation, later leaked to the media. He was quoted as saying:

> “I know Lilibet is not my daughter by blood… but what can I do? I still love her deeply. She’s my little girl, and nothing will ever change that.”

This comment comes amid long-standing rumors regarding Lilibet’s paternity, with some reports suggesting that a DNA test was conducted in private. Though no official statements have been made by the royal family, this apparent admission marks the first time Prince Harry has addressed the subject publicly — albeit informally.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, was reportedly taken by surprise by the disclosure. A source close to the couple claimed she was “visibly shaken” and offered no immediate response to Harry’s remarks.

Speculation has since intensified over the possible identity of Lilibet’s biological father. While Harry is said to have withheld any names, some royal observers have pointed to past rumors involving a former bodyguard during a period of personal strain in the couple’s relationship in late 2020. These claims remain unsubstantiated.

Despite the controversy, a close friend of Prince Harry offered a statement emphasizing his emotional resilience:

> “He’s devastated, yes. But he’s also stronger than ever. Lilibet will always be his daughter — maybe not by blood, but certainly by love.”

The royal household has declined to comment on the matter, and it remains unclear how, or if, this development will affect the family’s public role or internal dynamics.
