(24,611 posts)Charles and Diana were 11th cousins once removed, which makes them very distantly related. No inbreeding in Harry. For comparison, Barack Obama and George W Bush are about 10th cousins twice removed. Also, a google factoid: Diana was related to Winston Churchill and to ten U.S. presidents: George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Calvin Coolidge, Millard Fillmore, Rutherford B. Hayes, Grover Cleveland, Franklin D. Roosevelt, both Bush presidents. She was also related to the actor Humphrey Bogart.

And Harry with his cousin George McCorquodale (son of Diana's elder sister):
So I don't think the ginger hair means that much.
(if you go back a couple of centuries to the 2nd Earl Spencer):
