In a shocking revelation, the Duke of Sussex has come to learn about a bizarre plot aimed at abducting a lock of his hair for the purpose of obtaining a DNA sample.
This unsettling news emerged from a letter addressed to the private secretary of King Charles III, the duke’s father, which was sent by the attorney representing a former police officer.
The Sunday Times reported that this alarming correspondence prompted immediate action from law enforcement.
The implications of such a scheme are profound.
Genetic testing can be conducted using minuscule samples of hair, skin, or saliva to establish paternity.
The Duke, known for his vibrant red hair, is the younger son of the late Princess Diana and King Charles.
Speculation surrounding his parentage has lingered in the public eye, especially following the tragic car accident that claimed Diana’s life in 1997, alongside revelations of infidelity involving both parents.
Amidst swirling rumors, James Hewitt, a man often linked to Diana, recently took to the press to dispel any notions that he could be the duke’s biological father.
In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, he emphatically stated, “There really is no possibility whatsoever that I am the duke’s father.” Hewitt revealed that his romantic involvement with Diana began when the duke was still a young child, further distancing himself from the ongoing speculation.
An insider, who chose to remain anonymous, disclosed to the Sunday Times that the letter detailed a media outlet’s alleged hiring of a private investigator to execute this hair-snatching scheme.
The plan reportedly included orchestrating a meeting between the duke and a young woman, purportedly to facilitate the theft of his hair while he is still a student at Eton.
This strange saga is just the latest in a series of peculiar rumors that have surrounded the royal family.
From scandals to sensational claims, the British monarchy often finds itself at the center of tabloid intrigue.
