Where is Major James Hewitt now as Harry addresses 'joke ... (OK! Magazine)

Prince Harry has slammed rumours that Major James Hewitt is his biological father instead of King Charles III, calling the whispers a "joke" in his memoir ...

In Diana's famous 1995 Panorama interview, she said of James' participation in the book: "Yes, I adored him. But I was very let down." Ken Wharfe wrote: "Diana felt betrayed: he had chosen his career over her. He is now believed to be working as a gardener in the grounds of the flat that he shares with his elderly mother in Devon. Since his relationship with Diana, James has dipped in and out of the spotlight, having done a number of interviews following the death of Princess Diana in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Along with his tell-all book, Princess in Love, James went on to share further details about his affair with Diana in a book named Love and War, which was released in 1999. James and Diana's romance is thought to have lasted a number of years, until James had to go abroad at the end of the 1980s after becoming command of a tank squadron, leaving Diana feeling "betrayed" that he "chose his career over her". According to the book, Diana and James were in a relationship from 1986 to 1991, ending a year before Diana's marriage to Charles officially ended in 1992. Prince Harry insisted that his mother, Princess Diana, didn't meet Major James until "long after I was born", which was in 1984. Going into more detail, Harry said that tabloid readers "loved the idea" that he wasn't Charles' biological son and "never got tired of that 'joke'," leaving him to wonder if he was a "laughing stock". [Princess Diana](https://www.ok.co.uk/latest/princess-diana) admitted to having a five-year long affair with James in the 1980s, however, Harry, 38, labelled them a "joke" and said that King Charles, 75, would make fun of them. [Prince Harry](https://www.ok.co.uk/latest/prince-harry) has slammed the "sadistic" longstanding rumours that Major James Hewitt is actually his biological father, rather than [King Charles](https://www.ok.co.uk/latest/king-charles-iii).

They never got tired of that 'joke', for some reason.” In one of the paragraphs, the Duke of Sussex can be seen referencing the tabloid frenzy over the identity of his 'real father' and was quoted saying, “The joke was damn funny in light of the rumor going around at the time that my real father was one of my mother's ex-lovers: Major James Hewitt.” This accusation has been issued by the Prince himself, all in an effort to clear the air over ‘shocking’ accusations that James Hewitt is his father.

James Hewitt? No, I think we can all see Harry's lineage, says ... (Daily Express)

I've never been one of those people who believed that Prince Harry was the product of the affair between Diana, Princess of Wales and Major James Hewitt, ...

The favourite son of his mother, Cecily Neville, he rebelled against his brother, King Edward IV. Instead of calling her therapist, she was sentenced to death, to be executed at the King’s (her first cousin’s son) will. Thus, the poor woman, who was aged 67, was literally hacked to death being chased around the scaffold. And she didn’t even accuse anyone of having "baby brain".) A rumour has grown that George, being able to request his own method of execution, chose to be drowned in a vat of Madeira wine – as a mockery to the King’s heavy drinking and that it was known to be a favourite of his sister-in-law, for whom he wanted to ruin the pleasure. The reason for this statement came after he revealed that King Charles joked that his real father might be "in Broadmoor" after the then Prince of Wales met a patient who claimed that it was he who held that title.

Prince Harry made some bombshell revelations in his upcoming memoir, Spare, which will hit the stands on January 10.

The royal family has to be 100 percent certain that he's a blood relative." Hewitt told her he was a riding instructor; when she in turn spoke of her long-held fear of riding, he offered to help her overcome it." "She said that their first conversation was completely natural, and it was this that first attracted her to him. According to People Magazine, Major James Hewitt is a graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst who served as a cavalry officer in the British Army. “He’d laugh and laugh, though it was a remarkably unfunny joke, given the rumor circulating just then that my actual father was one of Mummy’s former lovers: Major James Hewitt. He also claimed that Princess Diana did not meet Hewitt "until long after" he was born.

Prince Harry has just hit back against 'years of tabloid lies' by setting the record straight on whether his mother's former lover was really his father.

They never got tired of that 'joke', for some reason.” He even went on to note the attraction of such a scandal to the wider press and added, “Tabloid readers loved the idea that Prince Charles's youngest son was not Prince Charles's son. In one of the paragraphs, the Duke of Sussex can be seen referencing the tabloid frenzy over the identity of his 'real father' and was quoted saying, “The joke was damn funny in light of the rumor going around at the time that my real father was one of my mother's ex-lovers: Major James Hewitt.”

The 38-year-old prince has claimed in his new memoir 'Spare' that the king made a joke 'in poor taste' during a visit to a psychiatric hospital.

Prince Harry news – latest: Duke addresses longstanding James ... (The Independent)

An affair between Princess Diana and James Hewitt in the 1980s combined with the supposed 'likeness' between Harry and the former Major fuelled speculation ...

It wasn’t until his wife noticed “scrapes and bruises” on his back that he told her of the attack. In an extract from the royal’s book, which is due for release on 10 January, Harry writes that his older brother grabbed him by the collar, ripped his necklace off and “knocked” him to the ground. The royal linen may be luxurious, but it’s caked in filth, and it’s been hanging out for all to see for years already – we’ve just grown used to the sight. He discovered via the BBC News website after his flight landed that Her Majesty had died. The first person the Duke of Sussex called after the physical fight was not his wife – who was the main subject of the brothers’ alleged squabble – but his therapist. Maybe Prince William, and men everywhere, should take a page out of Harry’s book. And even in the most clear-cut of cases, you can always find contrary voices who will merrily place the blame on an innocent party. Prince Harry served bravely and well with the military in Afghanistan. I’d like to think there is actually a sizeable, silent majority who aren’t spending their hours getting frothy at the mouth about “Harry’s outrageous behaviour!” or about “William’s despicable conduct!”. the rumour going around at the time that my real father was one of my mother’s ex-lovers: Major James Hewitt”, Prince Harry writes in the leaked book. It may be a mindset he needed to get into for combat, but saying this publicly about a fallen enemy, however much one may be against what they stand for, was the wrong thing to do. It’s rather like the breakdown of a celebrity marriage: are you with Jennifer or Brad; Angelina or Brad?
