A determined Sarah Ferguson once vowed to put an end to wild rumors about the identity of Prince Harry’s father.
The Duchess of York is said to be ‘infuriated’ by outlandish conspiracy theories that claim her father is actually James Hewitt, who Diana had an affair with while married to Prince Charles.
Diana and Hewitt’s entanglement between 1986 and 1991 began after he was asked to give her riding lessons while a member of the Household Cavalry – two years after Harry was born.

“It frustrates her to let this continue, which is why she broke ranks. She’s sick of hearing that.”
Going further in their relationship, the source clarified that although the couple “had feuds over the years”, Fergie was one of the “few people Diana could turn to for sensitive matters”.
