Prince Harry breaks silence on the rumour that James Hewitt is his real father

Prince Harry has spoken out over rumours that King Charles is not his real father. The publication of his book Spare has included a number of explosive revelations which have rocked the Royal Family.

And in one extract of the book, the Duke of Sussex addresses rumours that his dad is actually Major James Hewitt. In an extract, as seen in Page Six : Harry says: "Pa [King Charles] liked telling stories, and this was one of the best in his repertoire. He’d always end with a burst of philosophising… Who knows if I’m really the Prince of Wales? Who knows if I’m even your real father?

"He’d laugh and laugh, though it was a remarkably unfunny joke, given the rumour circulating just then that my actual father was one of Mummy’s former lovers: Major James Hewitt. One cause of this rumour was Major Hewitt’s flaming ginger hair, but another cause was sadism."
