THIS. yay, I’m not the only one to notice this moment. Ah well it can mean nothing of course, but provokes sooo many thoughts...
So I was rewatching new Doctor Who series 9 episode 12 “Hell Bent”, and I realized something, and I couldn’t find any mention of this on the internet (though I didn’t look very hard).
So basically, when Clara and Doctor are in the Cloister Room trying to find a way out, they go through a conversation about rumor of a young Gallifreyan, who once went into the Cloister Room, and the Sliders (Cloister people) told him a way out. Well, in the conversation Clara asks the Doctor
“ What, and the kid told you the secret? ” To which the Doctor replies
“ Ah, no, he didn’t tell anyone anything. He went completely mad. Never right in the head again, so they say. The last I heard, he stole the moon and the President’s wife. “
Clara immediately realized he was talking about himself and asks if the President’s wife was nice. To that the Doctor replied
“ Ah, well, that was a lie put about by the Shabogans. It was the President’s daughter. I didn’t steal the moon, I lost it.” The key element here is “it was the President’s daughter”.
I am very certain he is talking about Susan! His granddaughter! I’m certain because he is talking in a sense that refers to his early days, which is evident of his expression “The last i heard”, which was to express something that happened a long time ago.
This means, that if I’m correct, Susan, who is the granddaughter of the Doctor, is also a daughter of one of Gallifrey’s presidents’. That would mean, that Doctor is the father to that certain president.

If there are any flaws, please point them out, I’d love to hear if my theory is flawed in any fashion!
