DNA test?

I recall that this article used to mention the DNA test that was done a few years ago which confirmed that Napoleon III was not the son of his father. What happened? Why was it removed? --Lecen (talk) 21:45, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

I did not remove your edit but I have attempted to research it and it appears that the science it actually currently inconclusive - if i've misread or simply missed the facts by all means set me and the record straight but it seems for the time being it would be at least arguably too speculative to include a section on this here, at least at the present moment. Irregardless, I would encourage you to add this content to page on House of Bonaparte.

It cannot be mentioned, since the result became that his biological father was Nathanael Rothschild of London, the long-time lover and money lender of Hortensia. A century before DNA was discovered, the people of Paris openly talked about his complete lack of resemblance to Napoleon physiognomy and uncanny likeness to the Rotschilds. 78.131.76.26 (talk) 19:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

OgramD218 What sources do you have to ensure that the DNA corresponds to the Rothschild family? SrReptil (talk) 06:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Image

I have noticed that the lead image seems to bounce around these three paintings:

• 
  1
• 
  2
• 
  3

Personally, I prefer 2, as it seems to have been used the most (from browsing the page history) and, I believe, was his wife's favourite painting of him. Please give your opinions. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 16:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

I prefer the Winterhalter, which shows him at the peak of this regime, and is a brighter and clearer image, over the Flandrin or Cabanel, in second place. But they're both pretty good. The French Wikipedia uses the Flandrin, I believe. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 17:38, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm very late to this but as he is best know for being an emperor I'd go with 1 as the most regal. BogLogs (talk) 12:41, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
