Prince Harry appeared in the Supreme Court in London last June, where a trial was ongoing against Mirror Group Newspapers, the publisher of the "Daily Mirror." The former royal accused the tabloid's journalists of illegally obtaining private information about him.
Prince Harry stood before the court. He complained about the media and made private confessions
After the premiere of the Netflix documentary and the release of his autobiography, it seemed that Prince Harry had nothing new to say. However, during his testimony, the former prince stated, among other things, that due to descriptions published in the media, he lost trust in people, and these situations negatively affected his mental health. Additionally, he stated that the press revealed his illness.
Another private matter concerned his relationship with Chelsy Davy and the "stupid decision" he had to explain in court. But that wasn't the end of the sensational revelations, as another issue came to light in the courtroom. Rumours had been circulating that Harry is not the son of King Charles III but of the man with whom Princess Diana had an affair.
It was rumoured that Prince Harry is not King Charles' son. The ex-royal dispelled the doubts
While testifying, Harry recalled his mother's affair with James Hewitt, a British army officer at the time. There was even evidence purporting to confirm that Charles is not his father. Furthermore, Hewitt admitted to a close relationship with Diana, which only worsened matters. Today, Harry decided to dispel these doubts.
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, he recalled with undisguised regret how the media treated him.
Harry admitted that he did not know at the time that his mother met Major Hewitt only after he was born. He sees the then-press activities as an attempt to drive a wedge between him and his loved ones.
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, he indicated, adding:
They were hurtful, mean and cruel. I was always left questioning the motives behind the stories. Were the newspapers keen to put doubt into the minds of the public so I might be ousted from the royal family?
