Birmingham Live reports, in one extract, seen by Page Six, Prince Harry, 38, wrote: “Pa [King Charles] liked telling stories, and this was one of the best in his repertoire. He’d always end with a burst of philosophising… 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 rumour circulating just then that my actual father was one of Mummy’s former lovers: Major James Hewitt. One cause of this rumour was Major Hewitt’s flaming ginger hair, but another cause was sadism.”
He added: “Never mind that my mother didn’t meet Major Hewitt until long after I was born.”
Rumours have been circulating for years that King Charles might not be Harry's biological father with some linking Harry to James Hewitt. Mr Hewitt is British former cavalry officer in the British Army. It was alleged that he and Princess Diana had an affair while she was married to Charles between 1986 to 1991 - Harry was born in September 1984.
She later confirmed it during her Panorama interview in 1995.
It has also been shared that the Duke of Sussex also admits in his memoir of killing 25 people during while serving in Afghanistan.
In Spare, he writes: "Most soldiers don't know exactly how many kills they have to their credit. Under battle conditions, you often fire indiscriminately. However, in the age of Apaches and laptops, everything I did in the course of two tours of duty was recorded and time-stamped.
"I could always tell exactly how many enemy combatants I had killed. And it seemed essential for me not to be afraid of that figure. Among the many things I learned in the Armed Forces, one of the most important was to be accountable for my own actions."
He continued: "So my number: twenty-five. It was not something that filled me with satisfaction, but I was not ashamed either.
"Naturally, I would have preferred not to have that figure on my military resume, or in my head, but I would also have preferred to live in a world without the Taliban, a world without war.
"However, even for a casual practitioner of wishful thinking like myself, there are realities that cannot be changed."
