Sarah Ferguson pledges to 'end rumours James Hewitt is Harry's dad' after making promise to Diana

Sarah Ferguson once pledged to end the rumours that Prince Harry's dad isn't Prince Charles. The Duchess of York is reported to be "exasperated" by the theories that James Hewitt actually fathered Princess Diana's second-born son after she confirmed they'd had an affair.

Diana admitted the affair in 1996 and since then, tongues have been wagging across the globe, not least because Harry and Hewitt share similar looks and red hair. Hewitt and the princess got involved between 1986 - 1991 and the affair started after he was asked to give her riding lessons.

He was a member of the Household Cavalry at the time. But Prince Harry was actually born in 1984, meaning their relationship hadn't even started, as writes the Daily Star. Fergie, a close friend of Diana's in the years before her tragic death, has been determined to put them to bed once and for all to protect her legacy.
