Could Prince Harry be the son of his mother's former lover, James Hewitt? The rumors about the Duke of Sussex's paternity continue to make headlines as royal fans recently debated over his lawsuit against the press.
On Twitter, one fan said that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent challenges were the own doing of the royal family. Apparently, they wanted to use the Sussex couple as scapegoats or distractions for the bigger issues hounding Prince Andrew, who was accused as a pedophile, and Prince William, who is allegedly having an affair.
In response to the observation of the fan, another commenter said that Prince Harry doesn't even have royal blood. His real father is, allegedly, not Prince Charles but Hewitt, an officer in the British army.
It is a story that has been speculated by royal fans for many years. On Quora, netizens also talked about Prince Harry's real dad. One commenter said that it is a question that will likely never die, especially since Prince Harry has a strong resemblance to Hewitt.
Princess Diana admitted in a 1995 interview in the defunct Panorama magazine that she and Hewitt had an affair for five years early in her marriage to Prince Charles. However, she has never admitted the rumors over Prince Harry's paternity because she might apparently lose her sons.
Another fan said that Prince Charles is Prince Harry's biological dad. He has the same eyes as Queen Mary, King George V and VI and Queen Elizabeth.
Prince Harry also bears the same royal flaw -- hair loss and baldness, which he has inherited from his grandfather Prince Philip. Old photos of the Duke of Edinburgh also show that he looks very much like Prince Harry in his youth.
The timeline of Princess Diana's affair with Hewitt would also make it impossible for him to be Prince Harry's real father. The young princes were already born when the affair started. In fact, Prince Harry was about two or three years old when the cracks in the marriage between Prince Charles and Princess Diana became more public.
Meanhile, Hewitt himself has denied the rumors that he is Prince Harry's dad. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he said he has no idea why the talks continue but it's probably because these types of stories sell tabloids.
