James Hewitt Biography

James Hewitt is one of the most popular and richest Military Personnel who was born on April 30, 1958 in Derry, Derry, United Kingdom. Hewitt was born in Derry, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, where his father, 1952 Olympic pentathlete John Hewitt, was stationed with the Royal Marines, and grew up in Kent and Devon. His mother, Shirley, was daughter of a London dental surgeon who lived in Devon. Hewitt was educated at Millfield, a public school, in Street, Somerset.

In 1994, six months after Hewitt’s retirement from the armed forces, Anna Pasternak published the book Princess in Love. Hewitt was a major source, and it alleged that he had a five-year affair with Diana, Princess of Wales from 1986 to 1991. Diana confirmed the affair in her 1995 Panorama interview. The following year, the film Princess in Love by David Greene was released, based on the book, with Julie Cox and Christopher Villiers playing the lead roles.

On 1 March 1994, he was retired from the British Army after 17 years’ military service.

In 2003, Hewitt tried to sell his 64 personal letters from Diana for £10 million. The act of selling the letters was considered to be a betrayal of trust, and Sarah, Duchess of York, condemned his action. She was reported to have said, “Betrayal, I think, is the most horrible, horrible, disloyal thing you can do to anyone”.

Persistent suggestions have been made in the media that Hewitt, and not Charles, is the biological father of Diana’s second son, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (born 1984). Hewitt stated to the press in 2002 that Harry had already been born by the time of the affair, a statement also made by Diana’s police bodyguard. He reiterated this in an interview in 2017. Diana attributed Harry’s colouration to her side of the family, calling him her “little Spencer”.
