It’s one of the most common questions in the royal history books.
No, not “Is Dr. Chris Brown really that attractive in real life?”
We’re talking about the suspicions behind Prince Harry’s paternity with long-running rumours Princess Diana‘s former love, James Hewitt, was Harry’s father.
But thankfully Paul Burrell put the wild rumours to rest for once and for all, dishing the goods on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, which is currently airing on Australian TV.
Paul Burrell is the jungle’s very own royal encyclopedia.
Another contestant on the show, former Real Housewives of Melbourne star Jackie Gillies asked, “Do you believe that Prince Harry is Charles’ child?”
To which he swiftly responded, “Yes. Absolutely.”
Needing a bit more, Jackie pushed, “It isn’t the other…The orange hair?”
The royal butler remarked, “She didn’t know James Hewitt when Harry was born. That’s fact. Five years into the marriage, she had Harry. And she hadn’t yet met James Hewitt. True.”
To which the Real Housewives‘ star said, “Awesome! I believe you. Case closed!”
It’s one of the royal family’s longest-running rumours, but Paul has shut it down!
The question of Prince Harry’s paternity has been rattling around for decades.
Last year, Princess Diana’s lover shut down the claims.
James Hewitt spoke to Australian Channel Seven’s Melissa Doyle.
The TV host asked him straight out, “Are you Harry’s father?”
To which the 59-year-old responded: “No, I’m not.”
When quizzed about why the rumour refuses to go away, the former cavalry officer explained: “It sells papers. It’s worse for [Harry], probably, poor chap.”
