In a whirlwind of revelations, Prince Harry is stirring the pot ahead of his memoir release, with some shocking claims about his relationship with King Charles.
The buzz around Harry’s true parentage has been a hot topic for years, especially given the striking resemblance he shares with James Hewitt, the army officer who had an affair with his mother, Princess Diana.
As the January 10 release date for his memoir, “Spare,” approaches, the anticipation is palpable.
Rumors have long suggested that Harry might not be King Charles’ biological son, fueled by his distinct ginger hair.
In his upcoming book, Harry seems to reflect on this contentious narrative, hinting that it might not be the worst thing if he were not related to Charles.
This revelation comes as part of a broader examination of his tumultuous relationship with his father, which has been under scrutiny for quite some time.
Harry recounts a particularly memorable story that Charles enjoyed sharing—a visit to a mental asylum where he met a man who claimed to be the Prince of Wales.
In a moment of levity, Charles allegedly wagged his finger at the patient, asserting his own royal status.
However, the man shot back with the same gesture, leading to a philosophical musing from Charles about the nature of reality and identity.
In a twist that could only come from a royal family, Harry recalls his father jokingly questioning whether he was, in fact, Harry’s real father.
“Who knows if I’m even your real father?” Charles reportedly quipped, suggesting that perhaps Harry’s true lineage could be traced back to someone else entirely.
This jest, made amidst swirling rumors about Hewitt, struck Harry as particularly ill-timed and inappropriate.
The Duke of Sussex describes the joke as “in poor taste,” especially considering the sensitive nature of the rumors.
He reflects on the absurdity of the situation, noting that while his father laughed heartily, the joke itself felt deeply unfunny given the context.
The mention of Major Hewitt, known for his flaming ginger hair, only added fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding Harry’s parentage.
Despite the persistent gossip, Harry has consistently denied any claims that Hewitt is his biological father.
The affair between Hewitt and Diana began two years after Harry’s birth in 1984, yet the palace rumors refuse to die down.
Interestingly, many observers note that Harry increasingly resembles his father, Charles, as they both age.
Insiders suggest that Harry’s ghostwriter has encouraged him to delve into his complicated relationship with Charles in “Spare.”
It’s expected that Harry will confront the Hewitt rumors head-on, providing readers with a deeper understanding of his feelings toward his father, who he feels has fallen short in the parental department.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle‘s potential absence from King Charles’ coronation is generating its own share of headlines.
Royal biographer Angela Levin speculated that many in the UK would welcome Meghan’s decision to skip the event, as the couple has yet to officially RSVP for the May 6 ceremony.
The couple’s hesitation has led to discussions about their intentions and the optics of their presence at such a pivotal royal occasion.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have received their invitation but are reportedly grappling with requests regarding their role during the coronation.
They have expressed desires to be acknowledged formally alongside their children, raising questions about their place within the royal family moving forward.
As the release of Harry’s memoir looms closer, the tension surrounding these revelations continues to build.
With the spotlight firmly on both him and Meghan, the world will be watching closely to see how they navigate their complex relationship with the monarchy, especially in light of Harry’s candid reflections on his upbringing and familial ties.
