Princess Diana’s former lover is breaking his silence on Prince William and Prince Harry’s feud.
James Hewitt, who had an affair with the late Princess of Wales during her marriage to the future King Charles III, appeared on “Good Morning Britain” on Tuesday. The British Army officer was there to discuss his work with Operation Safedrop, which delivers humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
The 66-year-old was asked about the ongoing fallout between the Prince of Wales, 42, and the Duke of Sussex, 40.
“Any mother would be grief-stricken over the separation we’ve seen between Harry and Wills,” said host Richard Madeley in a clip shared by UK’s Express. “Do you think she would have been able to make a rapprochement possible?”
“I think any mother would be worried and concerned about such a rift, as you put it,” said Hewitt. “And she’d do her best to try and get them together.”
Hewitt met Diana at a party in 1986 and offered to give her horseback riding lessons. They went on to have an affair that, according to reports, lasted for several years.
