@popculturefangurl: Because Prince Harry and James Hewitt both have distinct red hair and similar facial features, persistent public rumors have circulated for decades alleging that Hewitt is Prince Harry’s biological father. However, this timeline is structurally impossible. Prince Harry was born in September 1984, whereas Princess Diana and James Hewitt did not meet until late 1986—more than two years after Harry's birth. Hewitt has consistently and firmly denied the rumors, stating that Harry was already a toddler when the affair began. Biographers also note that red hair runs prominently in Diana's Spencer side of the family.
