Overview

• Both Maynard and Charlotte Chilton were swabbed earlier this week, and outlets report the results were emailed to them.
• Chilton had pushed for a retest after alleging issues with the first process, including a last‑minute site change, an unidentified man at Maynard’s sampling, and the absence of her own DNA.
• Chilton’s team issued a statement acknowledging the Sun’s story and said she will take time to process the result before sharing more.
• Maynard previously said an initial test excluded him and, per the new reports, has not publicly commented on the latest result while a spokesperson expressed hope the matter can be closed.
• Coverage notes the dispute has focused on establishing accurate parentage for Penelope’s birth certificate, with standard guidance often recommending inclusion of the mother’s sample for accuracy.
