Diana reportedly had an affair with her riding instructor, James Hewitt, and it led many of believe that Harry was Hewitt’s biological son due to their ginger hair and freckles.

“Charles, Diana’s brother, had bright red hair when he was [in] college. And I used to cut his hair then. [Diana’s sister] Sarah, has bright red hair.
[Diana’s other sister] Jane was more or less the same colouring as Diana,” he revealed. He also shared in his book that Diana "used to get very upset" with the tabloids insisting that Hewitt was Harry’s father. In his me.
