James Hewitt rumours made Harry worry he was ousted

Rumours that Major James Hewitt was Prince Harry’s real father and not King Charles III had been circulating for years, and that speculation made Harry fear he would be ousted from the British royal family.

He said: “Numerous newspapers had reported a rumour that my biological father was James Hewitt, a man my mother had a relationship with after I was born.

“At the time of this article and others similar to it, I wasn’t actually aware that my mother hadn’t met Major Hewitt until after I was born.”

“Newspapers (were) keen to put doubt into the minds of the public so I might be ousted from the royal family?”
