What is the truth behind the rumors about James Hewitt being the real father of Prince Harry?

Delving into the depths of Prince Harry's life, his ongoing phone-hacking trial has resurfaced the controversial notion that James Hewitt, not Prince Charles, is his true father. Stepping onto the grand stage of the High Court in the UK on June 6, 2023, the Duke of Sussex bravely continues his legal battle against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), seeking justice and retribution. This lawsuit, encompassing multiple plaintiffs, stems from MGN's unlawful acquisition and publication of sensitive information about public figures.

Among the claimants, Prince Harry stands tall, determined to expose the truth. However, the court has selected only four representatives, including the second son of the late Princess Diana, to serve as test cases for the larger group. Thus, the trial commenced in early May 2023, with Prince Harry making a groundbreaking appearance on June 6, becoming the first royal in 130 years to testify in court.

Not only is Prince Harry taking on MGN, but he is also challenging Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers and Associated Newspapers Ltd. for similar offenses. Accusing MGN of publishing approximately 140 stories obtained through phone hacking and other illicit means between 1991 and 2011, Prince Harry has not shied away from criticizing the British press. In doing so, he has once again brought attention to the long-standing scandal surrounding his alleged connection to James Hewitt.

The James Hewitt Paternity Rumors, which first emerged in a 2002 article titled "Plot to Rob the DNA of Harry," have continued to haunt Prince Harry. This article, published over a decade ago, suggested that Major James Hewitt, Princess Diana's riding instructor, was his true father. It insinuated that Diana had an affair with Hewitt while still married to the now-reigning King Charles III, who was then a prince. According to the article, Harry may have been the result of this affair, concealed as King Charles' son.

These theories gained momentum as subsequent articles highlighted the striking physical similarities between Harry and James, particularly their fiery red hair. Over a decade later, these wild speculations persist, with some still linking the Sussex royal to James.

Taking a firm stance against the James Hewitt rumors, Prince Harry released a written statement on June 6, 2023. He vehemently denounced the 2002 publication, exposing how numerous newspapers had labeled him as Diana's love child with James. Furthermore, Prince Harry clarified that Diana only met James after his birth, making any biological connection impossible. Although Prince Harry discovered this timeline in 2014, it appears that certain members of the British press had been aware of it for decades. Despite this knowledge, the defendant's journalists chose to perpetuate the false narrative for their own gain. This had a detrimental impact on Prince Harry, jeopardizing his position within the royal family. Reflecting on this, he wrote:

"At the time, when I was 18 years old and had lost my mother just six years earlier, stories such as this felt very damaging and very real to me. They were hurtful, mean and cruel. I was always left questioning the motives behind the stories. Were the newspapers keen to put doubt into the minds of the public, so I might be ousted from the royal family?"

Prince Harry also called out the author of the 2002 article, Dean Rousewell, accusing her of a history of obtaining information through unlawful means. Citing her article, Prince Harry expressed concerns about the credibility of her claims, supposedly sourced from a highly placed royal insider. He wrote:

"I'm not sure from where, or who, these comments were obtained from because they feel like a huge security risk, effectively putting a price on my DNA for anyone who could obtain it. I firmly do not believe that these are details anyone from within the palace would have shared, given the measures put in place for the security of all members of the royal family."

In his quest for justice, Prince Harry unveils the secrets, determined to protect his legacy and uphold the truth.

Implied in this narrative is the notion that Dean, the source of information, may not have had any regal connections at all, but rather obtained her knowledge through unconventional means. Unfortunately, this revelation only served to ignite rampant speculations about Prince Harry's paternity, a burden he has carried for decades.

Who truly fathered Prince Harry?

Born on September 15, 1984, Prince Harry entered the world as the second child of Charles, the Prince of Wales (now King Charles III), and his first wife Princess Diana.
