Why Do Some People Claim That James Hewitt Is Prince Harry's Father?

Question

Reading through some of the answers in the 'Royalty' section I have come across several remarks that Prince Harry is the son of James Hewitt.

Where did this allegation come from and is there any truth in it?

Answer 1

Prince Harry is Charles through and through.. you had better be careful you will have the MI5 on you

Answer 2

I don't think there's any truth in it. The rumour began because of the late Princess's friendship with Hewitt. You can bet that DNA tests will have been done. I think he looks like Charles, and just because he has red hair, does'nt mean a thing.

Answer 3

TAKE A REAL GOOD LOOK

Answer 4

Do an image search for both of them - the likeness is unmistakable.

Answer 5

I have no idea how this started. But Diana didn't meet James Hewitt till two years after Harry was born. Most people forget that the Spencer family has red hair. I think Prince Harry is more like his aunt Lady Sarah McCorquodale who has red hair like Harry.

Answer 6

i remember saying that when harry was only very little - if it is true - one day surely the truth will be revealed

Answer 7

Diana had an affair with Hewitt and he has red hair but so does Dianas brother and Harry resembles his uncle. But people always look for scandals and like to cause trouble.

Answer 8

Because they both have red hair but Diana and Hewitt did not go together until after Harry was born . Dianas family has red hair .But like the conspiracy theory about her death people are like sheep they always like to believe the bad things about a person .Instead of the good!!!

Answer 9

because she had an affair with him, whilst she was with charlie, lets face it the poor girl was fed up being 2nd best against CPB.............................

and harry looks nothing like big ears, but more like ginger nut.

Answer 10

there is no truth in the rumour - some people are just thick!

Answer 11

The late Princess Diana had a long term affair with James Hewitt, a former British household cavalry officer. Diana admitted in her famous Panorama interview that she had committed adultery with Hewitt, saying, "Yes, I adored him. Yes, I was in love with him." As Diana was then the wife of the Prince of Wales, heir to the throne, this would be high treason, if prosecuted. The affair ended in 1992.

In 2002, Hewitt strongly denied long-standing rumours that he was the natural father of Prince Harry. He claimed that Harry was a toddler by the time he met Diana (Harry was born in 1984). However, in a 2005 interview with the television company Making Time Productions, Hewitt admitted under hypnosis that he had met Diana in 1981 or 1982 and that their affair began shortly afterward.

Prince Harry does look simliar to James Hewitt and nothing like his father Prince Charles or brother Prince William. However, there is a logical explanation for looking a bit different as his appearance does resemble more of Diana's side of the family. He looks very much so like his uncle, Charles Edward Maurice Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer (Diana's younger brother), and Prince Harry's two aunt, Lady Sarah McCorquodale (Diana's elder sister) and Lady Jane Fellowes (Diana's second elder sister).

Answer 12

If Charles accepts him as his son. he is his son, what do we have to do with them? I think, Charles is the father.  Anyway Harry is a nice boy and I like him even more than willi, has a nice personality and is happy, Willy looks more responsible and aware to his future. To me both are beautiful boys, and Diana should be proud of them both, (she being with us)

Answer 13

because have you seen the two of them?! that boy is Hewitt's double!

Answer 14

Probably only two people could answer that question, one of them is dead.

Answer 15

Because he bloody looks just like him!  His mum Diana did the dirty dirty with him for years and some speculate that she hooked up with him much earlier than originally thought and that he's Harry's pop.  There's a lot of red hair in the Spencer family but the resemblance is just too coincidental not to take a closer look!!!

Answer 16

She did have a brief affair with the idiot . And yes there is a resemblance. But if you look at Diana's brother Earl Spencer, its easy to see that Harry actually gets his looks from him.

I think if there was the slightest chance that Hewitt was Harry's father he'd have let the world know by now. He sold his stories about Diana - there's nothing that creep wouldnt do for money and publicity.

Answer 17

er,  have you seen the similarity between them?? (unofficially, of course......)

Answer 18

I think it may be to do with his hair colouring and his looks personally I don't believe it
