The Duke of Sussex has long been a subject of fascination, particularly due to his striking red hair that has captivated the public’s interest.

Speculation surrounding his real father has been a topic of much curiosity since he became a member of the British royal family.

The crux of the matter lies in Princess Diana’s rumored romantic involvement with James Hewitt, a British army commander and writing instructor.

While some accounts suggest their relationship began in 1986, there are whispers that it may have started even earlier.

This has led many to ponder whether the Duke could be the product of this alleged extramarital affair.

Despite persistent rumors linking James Hewitt to the Duke, the former has vehemently refuted any claims, asserting that he had no association with Diana around the time of the Duke’s birth.

Princess Diana herself addressed the speculation by attributing the Duke’s red hair to a hereditary trait within the family.

Although concrete evidence establishing Hewitt’s paternity is lacking, public intrigue on the matter remains fervent.

Comparisons between images of James Hewitt and the Duke frequently surface online, further fueling the ongoing controversy.

In 2003, reports emerged that a British tabloid had conducted DNA testing on the subject, yielding inconclusive results.

Discussions regarding DNA testing within the royal family had already been circulating, with rumors suggesting that such tests were carried out on Princess Diana in the mid-1990s at the behest of the royal household.

Historical accounts indicate that Princess Diana kept the Duke unaware of the true purpose behind the blood sample request, leaving him oblivious to suspicions regarding his parentage.

Speculation has swirled that the Duchess has encouraged the Duke to delve into his family lineage, a notion reinforced by recent reports indicating his active engagement in exploring his ancestry.
