Prince Harry, James Hewitt Photos That Fuel Paternal Conspiracy Theories Revealed

Prince Harry’s real father has always been an issue to some.

Many believe that the Duke of Sussex’s real dad was Princess Diana’s lover James Hewitt. He already denied it, but the conspiracy theories surrounding Hewitt and Prince Harry’s paternity never die. According to Nicholas Bieber of Daily Star, this is due to photos showing the two’s uncanny similarities.

In this photo, Prince Harry and Hewitt looked very similar due to their hair color. They also have the same pointed nose and smile. Their striking similarities are also undeniable in a viral photo that’s been shared on Twitter.

“Prince Harry is not Prince Charles’s son and his biological dad is James Hewitt, who Diana confirmed to have had an affair with BUT apparently two years after Harry’s birth #SDconspiracytheories,” Anna Faith wrote.

“How come Prince Harry has the same birthmark as James Hewitt?” one commented.

“Looking at James Hewitt. Harry looks just like him. Shape of face is the same. He's [sic] must be Harry's father,” another user commented.

“The nose, the hair, the face in general - more than a bit alike, aren’t they ...,” another person wrote.

“Harry is the absolute double of James Hewitt, the nose, a lot,” another user added.

However, some changed their minds after seeing a young bearded photo of Prince Charles. When the Prince of Wales turned 70 years old last month, the palace showed a number of photos featuring the next king while he was growing up. One particular shot showed Prince Charles with a beard just like Prince Harry’s.

“People are still questioning Harry’s parentage, they can stop after seeing Charles in a beard,” one commented on the post.

“Really did think harry wasn’t Charles son. But after seeing that pic of Charles with the beard. Wow uncanny!” another user said.

“I never thought Harry looked like Charles until I saw the photo with Charles with a beard! Happy Birthday!” a netizen wrote.

In response to the conspiracy theories, Hewitt recognized their similar hair color. However, he added that Princess Harry was already a toddler when he met Princess Diana.

Princess Diana’s former royal bodyguard, Ken Wharfe, confessed that the issue angered the People’s Princess “greatly.” “Harry was born on 15 September 1984. Diana did not meet James until the summer of 1986, and the red hair, gossips so love to cite as proof is, of course, a Spencer trait,” Wharfe wrote in his book “Diana: Closely Guarded Secret.”
