Princess Margaret
A man named Robert Brown believes Princess Margaret secretly gave birth to him on January 5, 1955, hiding the later stages of her pregnancy with a body double. He claims he was sent to Kenya to be raised because, at the time, the princess was unmarried and getting over her breakup from Peter Townsend. Brown has never been confirmed as the son of Princess Margaret, but even if he was, he’d still have no chance to take the throne.
Princess Diana
There’s been speculation that Prince Harry’s father is not actually Prince Charles. It's believed that Princess Diana was having multiple affairs while still married to the Queen’s oldest son Charles (but he was too). In an interview she’d even confessed to an affair with army officer, James Hewitt, whom people think Harry bears a striking resemblance to. Then again, Harry also looks quite a bit like Diana's brother, Charles Spencer. If it were ever confirmed that Charles wasn't Harry's father, that would make him an illegitimate royal.
Marina Ogilvy
Queen Elizabeth II’s first cousin Marina Ogilvy almost tore her family apart with the announcement that she and photographer Paul Mowatt were expecting. Ogilvy’s parents Sir Angus Ogilvy and Princess Alexandra told her she could either have an abortion or marry Mowatt immediately. The parents-to-be were married in February 1990, and their daughter Zenouska was born a few months later. While she wasn’t born out of wedlock, Zenouska was most definitely conceived out of it.
Captain Mark Phillips
Princess Anne’s husband Captain Mark Phillips had an affair with a New Zealand woman named Heather Tonkin. The one night affair resulted in a love child named Felicity Tonkin. Phillips reportedly asked Heather to get an abortion. Felicity is the half sister of Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, Mark and Anne’s two children.
King Henry I of England
Robert FitzRoy, the 1st Earl of Gloucester, is one of the few confirmed illegitimate children of King Henry I. Henry I only had one legitimate daughter named Matilda, but was said to have fathered at least 22 other children while not married. The surname FitzRoy was often used by the illegitimate sons and daughters of a King or Queen.
King Henry VIII of England
Henry FitzRoy, the first Duke of Richmond and Somerset, was the illegitimate son of King Henry VIII and his mistress Elizabeth Blount. FitzRoy died when he was 17 years old, and the cause of death was never confirmed, though it was speculated that he could have been murdered.

King Charles II of England
Taking the crown (pun intended) for most potential children born out of wedlock was King Charles II. He was married to Catherine of Braganza, but they never had any kids together. All 14 to 17 (the number was never confirmed) of his offspring came from his many mistresses.
King Edward VII of England
It's been reported that King Edward VII, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1901-1910, had over 50 affairs with women, including Winston Churchill's mom. He's presumed to have fathered many children outside his marriage, though he never acknowledged them. He had six legitimate heirs to the throne with his wife Queen Alexandra, including Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather George V. Sadly, one of the six died as a child.
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent
Everyone thinks of Queen Victoria as the daughter of Prince Edward and Princess Victoria, but biographer Andrew Norman Wilson thought he found evidence that she was illegitimate. Wilson noted that none of Victoria’s many descendants suffered from porphyria, a hereditary disease caused by “buildup of certain chemicals related to red blood cell proteins.” Victoria's grandfather George III suffered from the condition.
Other members in the family had a similar illness called haemophilia, which led the biographer to believe Victoria had a different father.
