King Charles made “sadistic” jibes about Prince Harry’s “real” father, the prince reveals in his new memoir.
Harry, 38, grew up amid public speculation that his true father was Princess Diana’s former lover Major James Hewitt.
The prince writes in his new book, “Spare,” out Tuesday, how Charles seemingly enjoyed making hurtful comments about his parentage.
In one segment, seen by Page Six, Harry writes: “Pa liked telling stories, and this was one of the best in his repertoire. He’d always end with a burst of philosophizing … Who knows if I’m really the Prince of Wales? Who knows if I’m even your real father?
“He’d laugh and laugh, though it was a remarkably unfunny joke, given the rumor circulating just then that my actual father was one of Mummy’s former lovers: Major James Hewitt. One cause of this rumor was Major Hewitt’s flaming ginger hair, but another cause was sadism.”
