For years, rumors have circulated in the tabloids that Prince Harry of Wales isn’t actually the son of Prince Charles. Instead, many believe Harry is the son of James Hewitt, a former British Army officer, who’s rumored to have had a five-year affair with Princess Diana in the early ‘90s.
Hewitt has denied the rumors, saying: “There really is no possibility whatsoever that I am Harry’s father. I can absolutely assure you that I am not. Admittedly the red hair is similar to mine and people say we look alike … When I met Diana, he was already a toddler.”
But the resemblance is startling.

Harry’s real father James Hewitt? Looks nothing like Charles or William. No royal bloodline #RoyalEngagement #princeharryengaged pic.twitter.com/dQp3TrZTzi

Prince Harry’s face has been splashed all over the media this week after announcing his engagement to American actress Meghan Markle. Now, many people on this side of the pond can’t help but wonder if this Hewitt fellow happened to venture into the United States about 25 years ago. Why? Because Harry looks exactly like Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Carson Wentz.

Even the Eagles can’t tell the difference.
"It’s one of those things where every week we just come in ready to work."

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
