TRACY GRIMSHAW SPEAKS TO JAMES HEWITT
ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF PRINCESS DIANA’S DEATH

Tomorrow (Friday 31 August) at 6.30pm on Channel Nine

The man once called the “vilest man in Britain" and pilloried as a cad for selling intimate details of his relationship with Diana, Princess of Wales is still one of the most hated figures in the world.

On the 10th anniversary of Diana’s death, A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw travels to Hewitt’s home in Marbella, Spain where the former Army Major gets the opportunity to set the record straight.

In a revealing and at times explosive interview, Hewitt bares his soul about his love for Diana – a complex woman who he says manipulated him and sought protection from him at the same time.

“She wasn’t a saint and she did have her faults, and I think that is part of her attraction and beauty,” he says.

In the past, every time Hewitt has been asked about Prince Harry’s paternity he storms out of the interview. But this time, he refuses to deny it, fuelling fresh speculation he might be his father.
