"Charles has known for years. At least he's being the dad."
Quite, as they might say. Traditionally, the husband has been legally and socially the father of any child borne by his wife during their marriage. Cuckolded or not . . .
[I guess you could say Hanoverian rather than Windsor-Hanover, since Windsor was a made-up name to avoid the German-sounding connection of the royal family. The British, of course, eliminated the German royalty at the end of WW I, but for some odd reason which I cannot fathom, kept their own . . . ]
