For the British royal family, the mystery of Prince Harry's life has always made many people happy, and rumors that Prince Harry's biological father is not King Charles, but the lover of Princess Diana have been circulating in the British people for many years.
So, what is the truth of the matter?
The British media "Daily Star" published a report on September 14 local time, which reported on the matter. According to the report,
A crazy conspiracy theory suggests that Prince Harry's father is not actually King Charles, but James Hewitt, Princess Diana's lover and former British Army officer. This rumor began after Princess Diana had a romantic relationship with Hewitt during her marriage to Charles.
Diana confirmed the incident in a famous interview with the BBC's Martin Bashir, who said: "Yes, I adore him (Hewitt). Yes, we are in love. That — and the fact that Hewitt and Prince Harry had similar hair colors — got people talking.
But in reality, Hewitt could not have become Harry's father. First, Diana's relationship with Hewitt began in 1986, and Harry was born on September 15, 1984. Prince Harry also publicly responded to this conspiracy theory in his memoir "Spare Tires" published in January this year. Prince Harry revealed in the book that the royal family was aware of rumors about his biological fatherhood. He even claimed that Charles would joke about it when he was younger.
Harry wrote: "Dad loves to tell stories and it's one of his best. He added that Charles would say: "Who knows if I'm really the Prince of Wales? Who knows if I'm your real father? Maybe your biological dad is in Broadmoor, dear child! ”
Harry continued: "He would laugh a lot, even though it was a very bad joke because there were rumours at the time that my biological father was one of Mom's former lovers: Major James Hewitt.
"One reason for the rumor popularity is Major Hewitt's red hair, and red hair is key to people believing this rumor."
Hewitt himself outright denied the rumors in 2017. He added: "It could be worse for (Harry), poor fellow. ”
A royal insider also told Australian magazine New Ideas that Diana's close friend Sarah Ferguson was "very angry" at the rumours. "People have been arguing for years, but Figie is one of the few people Diana can turn to on tough issues," the insider said.
"Fergie vowed to bring many of Diana's secrets to the grave - but Harry is not Charles's child and is not one of them at all."
On this matter, the author's view is that if a rumor has no factual basis, then people will not be interested in constantly circulating it, and in fact, for whether Prince Harry is the biological son of Diana's lover Hewitt, the royal family has not produced very conclusive evidence to prove it or overturn it, in fact, this matter is not difficult, for such a technologically developed modern society, a simple paternity test can prove everything, then the problem is, Did the royal family do a paternity test for Prince Harry? If not, then what is the reason?
