Wasn't there a rumor going around that Prince had made financial arrangements for a child but at this date neither the mother nor the now grown child wanted any publicity?

Let the Prince had a secret child rumors begin. Sigh.

Yes, that rumor has been going around for years. I keep thinking that the work product his attorneys turned over to court was some kind of settlement concerning M2. I figured if he had one settlement with her there could be others. He could also have set up trust if he had children with a clause that stops them from speaking to the media.

I think something is going on or they would not be sealing the results but you know peace to those people they need their privacy.

2 people took test that the results were not made known to the public. We know this for sure and we know all results are being sealed. These are facts.

In more recents DNA news. Crazy ass from New Zeeland flunked her test. Stupid ass Breamer for allowing her to even take one in the first.

-Just shows you how stupid the Breamer people were for even allowing this. This was only reported on in the New Zeland news as American news papers never follow up on this types of stories

The DNA test for an Invercargill man whose mother claimed late musician Pri...his father has come back negative.

A test conducted by the DNA Diagnostics Center in Ohio, USA, says there was a zero per cent possibility that Prince was the father of Max Stacey McCormack.

The DNA samples were sent to the US at the end of December 2016, with the results coming back in early January.

Caren McCormack said the inquiry into the paternity of her son had been an "exhausting" process.

The test was verified by the DDC's laboratory director, Michael Baird, who was formerly the court-appointed expert in the paternity case involving the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith in 2007.

Caren McCormack had previously stated her 40-year-old son was fathered in 1976 by the American singer, and the singer had lived with her for a period of months in Christchurch when both were 17 years old.

Born in 1976 in Christchurch, Stacey McCormack had been raised and lived most of his life in Invercargill.

Stacey has suffered from problems with mental illness throughout his life, and was still living with and being looked after to a degree by his mother.

Caren said her son had only met the man she believed to be his father once, when he was ten days old.

Although she said she had not seen Prince since 1977, for several years he had remained in contact by mail when he was in the United States, she said.

Caren said while she still stood by her claim, she would not be appealing the decision.

"I don't think an appeal would be worth it, it's just going to be more costly.

"It's cost me $5000 so far just for the lawyer's fees, not including the DNA test costs.

"It's a bit deflating really, but we don't want to get in a fight about it.

"Life is all right as it is, so we'll just let it drop."

She said her son was coping well with the results.

"Stacey is as good as gold – nothing really fazes him that much."

While the test had stated otherwise, Caren maintained her side of the story was the truth.

"I know it sounds like sour grapes, but nothing has changed in my mind.

"You can't live with someone for five months without knowing something about them."

She said while she admits there was the possibility it was a case of mistaken identity, the appearance and mannerisms of the man she met in 1976 still have her convinced.

"I could have made a mistake and maybe I'm totally off base, but as far as I'm convinced it's still the truth.

"It was never about money or publicity, it was about finding the truth.

"If I have made a mistake and Stacey's father was still out there, I would want to make contact with him."

I'm not disputing that. Is the only reason they would be sealed because they involve a child? I prefer to deal in facts but I know how easy it is for rumors and speculation to somehow become fact. Sigh.

Prince not Invercargill man's father, negative DNA test reveals

Wow! I am so relieved I was sure that in 1975 Prince left school and lived...where the hell is that anyway? for 6 months... and no one ever mentioned it?!

oh wait! I bet her child got switched at birth! yeah the hospital sent her home with the wrong child! That has to be it!

There is a set of twins and one of them (but maybe not the other) tried to have a DNA test but he was adopted and the court (according to him) said because he had been adopted that severed any claim. (which is bull but whatever)

One guy flat out said he was not his son and he was just a fan... he was actually from about 10 miles from me!

This may be a dumb question, but if there is a "love child" that passes the DNA test, even if the tests are sealed, wouldn't it be a huge heads up, because Tyka and everyone else will be SOL...unless of course, the "love child" wants nothing to do with the estate and settles out of court???

/-Love child can take a settlement or love child could have been taken care of by a trust fund long ago. Just as hugh sums of cash could have been placed in a trust years ago.

But if the child passes a DNA test, wouldn't the entire Estate go to that child, and not to the brothers and sisters? IF there were no trust fund/taken care of business?

So, if there is a positive DNA match, there is an option to settle out of court (?) and it doesn't automatically void Tyka and the reast as heirs?

But if the child doesn't take the settlement, it will all go to the child? And the others will be out of luck?

--Yes, it would but the judge has said he believes they will be the declared the hiers after the appeals are done. So I think if there is a child a settlement or trust would be in place. I also think the DNA test may be sealed to give some people their privacy especially if the child is a family friend or aquatatenice. Something like this was eluded to in some of the court papers.

True, despite all the confidential stuff they still are called the non-excluded heirs in all the official documents by the court.
