Oh, I didn't say he'd be kicked out and shunned. Just... not be made king. There's a lot of room between "not being king" and "booted out of the royal family forever", as you've noted. Henry VIII might not be the best example because while he did elevate his bastard son and it's said he was thinking about making him heir, it's very unlikely Henry would've done so if he'd had a legitimate son.

Oh yes totally. Henry VIII is a certified bastard (in the other sense of the word) and once Edward existed nobody else was getting a look-in. I know Edward died young so didn't rule very long, but obviously Henry didn't know that would happen so wasn't particularly bothered about the two daughters waiting behind Edward! Not to mention those two got taken out of the succession and then put back in as well. Henry VIII alone is an interesting example of royalty bending the rules to suit themselves.

I actually think the modern royals would be less forgiving of someone who wasn't legitimate. I guess because they're scrutinised more and it's easier for us ordinary folk to find out and react accordingly? Idk, it's just a feeling I get even as a not-particularly-royalist. So that's another reason I find it hard to believe Harry isn't Charles's son. I don't think they could possibly hide it for this long without the truth coming out (I don't count tabloid gossip as the truth.)

IMO, if the royals found out that Harry was illegitimate, they would've quietly planned a more out-of-the-limelight life for him from an earlier stage. Not shunning, not as a pariah, but closer to what his cousins do. Especially after William married and had his first kid.
