King Charles made “sadistic” mockery of Prince Harry’s “real” father, the prince reveals in his new memoir.
Harry, 38, grew up amid public speculation that his real father was Princess Diana’s former lover Major James Hewitt.
The prince writes in his new book, “Spare”, Tuesday how Charles apparently enjoyed making hurtful comments about his parentage.
In one segment, seen by Page Six, Harry wrote, “Dad loved to tell stories, and this was one of the best in his repertoire. He always ended with a whiff of philosophy… Who knows if I’m really the Prince of Wales? Who knows if I’m even your real father?
“He was laughing and laughing, although it was a remarkably unfunny joke, given the rumor circulating at the time that my the real father was one of mom’s former lovers: Major James Hewitt. One cause of this rumor was Major Hewitt’s fiery red hair, but another cause was sadism.
According to the book, Charles never spoke directly to Harry about the Hewitt rumors.
Harry said tabloid readers liked the idea that his father wasn’t really Charles. “Maybe it made them feel better about their lives that the life of a young prince was laughable. It doesn’t matter that my mother didn’t meet Major Hewitt until long after I was born.”
Princess Diana’s former lover Major James Hewitt is believed to be Harry’s “real” father.

Diana, the princes’ mother, infamously had a five-year affair with Hewitt after meeting him at a dinner party in 1986, and their affair made global headlines. Hewitt has become a controversial figure in the UK for his attempts to sell love letters he exchanged with the late princess, and he has been called “Britain’s biggest cad”.
In 2019, author Anna Pasternak, who co-wrote the book “Princess In Love” with Hewitt, touched on one aspect of the case.
Hewitt was routinely bundled up in car trunks [trunks] and driven to Kensington Palace when their affair ensued,” the author wrote in the Daily Mail. “He told me he was terrified the first night he stayed at Kensington Palace, relieved at least that Charles and Diana had separate bedrooms.”
