Among the favorite anecdotes of king charles, there is one particularly bizarre which is about meeting a psychiatric patient convinced to be the prince of Wales. A story that, according to what he remembers Harry in his new biography Shootthe king he often repeated, concluding the story with jokes philosophical reflections who questioned their own identity: «Who knows, maybe he’s your real fathershe sighed, looking at her second son.
“And then he burst out laughing, even if I didn’t find it funny at all», reads the memoir of the Duke of Sussex. «Considered also i gossip who circled about that my real father was one of the former lovers of my mum: the major James Hewitt». Well yes, in the 1990s some newspapers – using one striking aesthetic resemblance – rode the absurd and annoying gossip: «One of the origins of these rumors were Red hair of the major”.
«But another was certainly the sadism» adds Harry. «The readers of the tabloid newspapers they were delighted that the younger son of Prince Charles was not really his son. They never got tired of it joke: perhaps the idea that the life of a young prince it was a farce it made them feel better when they thought about their own. It didn’t matter that my mother had known the major long after I was born».
“The press then continued to ad enrich it with details, there were even rumors that some journalists were hunting for my DNA to prove it: that was the first sign that, after having tortured my mother and tricked her into hiding, the next victim would be me». A rumor which, as the duke underlines in conclusion, still circulating today: “In almost every biography of mine published in newspapers and periodicals there is a hint to Major Hewitt.”
“They consider with some seriousness the possibility that he’s my father,’ concludes Harry, ‘including a description of the moment dad sat me down for a real one two-way conversation, reassuring me that the eldest was not my father. A painted scene in bright colourspoignant, moving. It’s completely made up».
