Harding’s secret child confirmed by DNA from 1920s scandal
AncestryDNA reports 99.9 percent certainty that President Warren G. Harding fathered a child with Nan Britton, a claim long denied by historians and Harding defenders. The DNA analysis uses Britton’s grandson and Harding descendants to support the tale of a Jazz Age affair and Britton’s 1927 memoir The President's Daughter.
