Fact Check: Did DNA testing prove that Prince Harry isn’t King Charles’s son?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry is once again at the center of rumors about his parentage. A viral claim circulating online alleges that DNA tests proved he is not King Charles III’s son. The post also included a video showing the Duke of Sussex supposedly losing his temper in court over the alleged results.
What did the claim about Prince Harry say?
A Facebook post from Top News Feed on November 30 claimed, “Prince Harry Goes Off the Rails in Court After Dismissing DNA Test: ‘My mother didn’t lie…’”
The post included a link to an article on the New Top Feed website and a video that appeared to show Harry screaming while two people tried to restrain him. Many social media users quickly shared the same video and repeated the claims.
The article described Harry’s alleged reaction in court, saying he appeared, "Prince Harry’s reaction was anything but calm. Witnesses describe how the Duke appeared visibly agitated as the DNA test results were read aloud in court.
Sources say that he refused to acknowledge the validity of the findings and insisted that they were incorrect."
According to the article, onlookers were shocked by Harry’s supposed outburst, which seemed out of character for someone usually composed in public.
It concluded by questioning, "His refusal to accept the DNA test results has left many wondering if he will ever be able to make peace with his past or if this latest incident is merely another chapter in the ongoing saga of his tumultuous relationship with the royal family."
The video of Prince Harry screaming in court is fake
The claim about Prince Harry’s DNA has been proven false. Searches on Google, Yahoo, and Bing found no credible media reporting that Harry had taken a DNA test showing King Charles III was not his father.
The video shared with the claim, suggesting the media had witnessed Harry receiving the results, also raised significant doubts. No reputable photo agencies, including Getty Images, have published any images of such an event, which would have received widespread coverage if it were real.
Experts noted multiple signs that the video was created using artificial intelligence (AI). Although the figure vaguely resembled Harry, the prince’s eyes are blue, yet the video showed him with dark eyes. A badge on the arm of the officer restraining “Harry” displayed symbols that match no known alphabet, a common indication of AI-generated visuals.
The audio was also out of sync, with the scream attributed to “Harry” playing before his facial expression changed. Overall, the video appears to be an AI-generated fake, and the claim about the DNA test has no factual basis.
