In his bombshell memoir Spare, Prince Harry, 39, addressed rumors about how his brother, Prince William, obtained his wife Kate Middleton’s engagement ring, calling the claims “absolute rubbish.” But that’s not the only piece of gossip the Duke of Sussex debunked in the tell-all book.
In an excerpt shared by Buzzfeed News, the Duke of Sussex addressed the gossip surrounding his paternity. For many years, it’s been speculated that Harry is not King Charles’s biological child; instead, the rumors claimed that Harry is the son of Princess Diana’s former lover, Major James Hewitt. (FYI, Hewitt has red hair.)
Prince Harry set the record straight, writing in the book, “Never mind that my mother didn’t meet Major Hewitt until long after I was born, the story was simply too good to drop.”
