Prince Harry is a well-known opponent of the British media.
Harry’s latest battle involves a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), which own several tabloids.
Harry’s lawsuit claims that MGN used nefarious means to get intel on the prince for over a decade.
Needless to say, Harry is not going down without a fight.
I was always left questioning the motives behind the stories.
The pair hit it off at a party, and Hewitt subsequently became Diana’s riding instructor.
Although she was married to King Charles, she began a relationship with Hewitt, which ended in 1991.
News of the affair came to light in 1994.
Due to Hewitt’s red hair, the press speculated that he could be Prince Harry’s father.
Despite this, the rumors thatHewitt is Harry’s father refused to die down.
Harry addressed this discrepancy in his court testimony for the MGN lawsuit.
Harry noted that this ultimately caused him anguish.
In his 2023 book “Spare,” he revealed the rumors also affected his relationship with Charles.
Who knows if I’m even your real father?
Maybe your real father is in Broadmoor, darling boy!'"
(For reference, Broadmoor is a psychiatric hospital in England.)
Harry added that, besides Charles, media consumers found this rumor hilarious.
He said, “They couldn’t get enough of this ‘joke,’ for some reason.
Maybe it made them feel better about their lives that a young prince’s life was laughable.”
Hewitt said no and explained why the rumors persisted.
