Richard Dalton, Princess Diana's hairdresser, has released a memoir detailing his friendship with her, addressing long-standing rumors about her relationship with James Hewitt. These rumors suggest that Hewitt could be the biological father of Prince Harry, but Dalton firmly states that this is not possible, as Harry was born before Diana met Hewitt. Their affair lasted from 1989 to 1991, during a time when Diana was struggling with her marriage to Prince Charles, feeling starved of affection. Dalton reflects on how the media perpetuated these paternity rumors, which deeply affected Harry, especially after the loss of his mother. Hewitt himself has denied being Harry's father, attributing the rumors to media sensationalism. The memoir sheds light on the emotional turmoil Diana faced and the impact of public speculation on her family, particularly on Harry, who was unaware of the timeline of his mother's relationships at the time the rumors circulated.
