The James Hewitt And Prince Harry Rumors Just Won't Die. Here's Why
David Mccullough Diana acknowledged the affair in the controversial Martin Bashir BBC interview in which Bashir brought up the book about their affair that Hewitt helped author (from BBC). Diana called it filled with "a lot of fantasy" but also said she adored and loved Hewitt.
Since Hewitt had red hair and Prince Harry also has red hair, some believe that Hewitt is actually Harry's father, not Prince Charles. But the timing just doesn't line up for that to be true. Harry was born in 1984, and Diana and Hewitt didn't meet until 1986 (via Town & Country).
Hewitt has publicly said that he is not Harry's father (from Marie Claire). And while Prince Harry is reportedly working on an upcoming memoir, it's not clear if he will bring up the rumor in his book.
He hasn't commented on "Diana: The Musical," potentially because it's airing on Netflix and he has signed a $100-million with the streaming giant (from Daily Beast). It could also be the same reason that he doesn't seem to have a problem with "The Crown." In an interview with James Corden, he acknowledged he's watched the show and is okay with it because it's fictional: "I'm way more comfortable with 'The Crown' than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself. Because ['The Crown'] is obviously fiction, take it how you will" (via Deadline).
