Royal Family News: James Hewitt Has This To Say About Being Prince Harry’s Dad

British royal family news reveals that the United Kingdom’s Prince Harry Duke of Sussex has been dogged by paternity rumors for years. It would seem that his mom, the late Princess Diana, added fuel to the fire by admitting to extramarital affairs, but that doesn’t mean it should be open season on Harry’s DNA.

What in the world is all the fuss about? We have the particulars of this strange story that seems to pick up steam every so often. Read on to find out who has been suspected to be Harry’s biological dad in lieu of Prince Charles.

Even though a disgruntled Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle left the UK in a huff, he hasn’t been forgotten. Far from it. He is in the news now more than ever, and it just so happens that one of the reasons has to do with his paternity.

Years ago Princess Diana and James Hewitt had an affair in the 90s, that much has been confirmed. As soon as the news came out, tons of people started speculating that James is Prince Harry’s bio dad, not Prince Charles.

All of that speculation may be fun and games to some people but the math doesn’t seem to add up. Let’s take a look at what we know about the facts in this case.

First of all, Harry was born in 1984. Secondly, the affair between Diana and James reportedly took place years later. Still, these facts haven’t stopped people from speculating.

What does James Hewitt himself have to say about this matter? In one interview he spoke out to put some lingering rumors to bed (so to speak) and one of them was about Harry, Duke of Sussex.

James addressed the rumors in 2017 during an interview with Australia’s Channel Seven. He was asked directly if he was Harry’s father and James responded, “No, I’m not.”

He was asked some more questions since reporters like to be sure of things before moving on. He was asked why people believe this to be true, and he said, “It sells papers. It’s worse for [Harry], probably, poor chap.”

Both men have red hair which has gone a long way to keeping the rumor alive.
