Diana, the princes’ mother, had a five-year affair with Hewitt after meeting him at a dinner party in 1986, and their trip made global headlines. Hewitt became a controversial figure in the United Kingdom for his attempts to sell the love letters he exchanged with the late princess, earning him the nickname “Britain’s biggest bastard”.
