Morality Q. Would You Betray Diana For 10 M?

Englishman

James Hewitt has outraged public opinion by offering to sell Princess Diana's reputedly very sexy love letters that she once penned to him so ardently. He wants a cool ten million pounds, that's about $16m.

Oddly, in a Sky News poll, the question "Would you sell her love letters for 10 million pounds?" has revealed that 48% of Brits would do so if they had the opportunity.

The situation is further complicated by Prince Harry's extraordinary resemblence to Hewitt, although Hewitt denies that he is the lads real father.

My Q is this: Would you sell the letters for 10 million pounds if they were yours to sell?

Here's a bit more background:

HEWITT ADMITS LETTER STING

James Hewitt has admitted trying to sell love letters Princess Diana had written to him to an undercover reporter for 10m.

But the former army officer, who had a long-running affair with the late princess, insists he did nothing wrong.

He said he thought the letters were going to a Swiss collector and would never be published.

Buckingham Palace had earlier refused to comment on Mr Hewitt's attempt to sell the letters, containing sordid details of their sex life.

Secret lover

Mr Hewitt met the undercover News of the World reporter in a London hotel room accompanied by his agent.

In all, there are 64 letters still remaining from those sent to him by Diana.



	Princess Diana: Five-year affair

Many others were destroyed during the Gulf War in case he was captured by the Iraqis.

During the trial of royal butler Paul Burrell, it emerged that Princess Diana had kept a signet ring belonging to Mr Hewitt in a locked box in her sitting room.

The item was deemed so sensitive by police it was initially not read out in open court but written on a piece of paper and handed to the Old Bailey judge.

The former cavalry officer was Diana's secret lover for five years.

Honey trap

In September, he denied he is Prince Harry's father but admitted people did compare Harry's looks with his own.



Prince Harry: Bizarre plot

Meanwhile, there have been reports of a "bizarre plot" to obtain a sample of the prince's hair to enable DNA tests finally establishing whether Mr Hewitt is his natural father.

In September, Mr Hewitt denied rumours that he was Harry's dad, saying: "There really is no possibility whatsoever that I am Harry's father."

The Mail on Sunday and The Sunday Times reported that a "honey trap" girl was to be used to pluck a strand of the prince's hair.

Both papers said Prince Charles' private secretary, Sir Michael Peat, had been tipped off about the alleged sting operation and that he may suspect involvement by the News of the World.

But the paper denied any involvement, saying: "The whole notion is bonkers".

I'm so sick of this chick. People make her out to be more than she was all the time. She did some charity work, BFD. There are alot of people who do charity work. She spent more time away from her kids just to gallavant around Europe with her lover. The only thing she has going for her is her fullfillment of the cheesy romance novels which have the common girl being married into royalty. Everyone likes to make her out to be a saint. Too bad her kids couldn't see her more but I guess banging your boyfriend is more important.

James Hewitt is a cad to the 100th degree.........10 million pounds is alot of money, but does he have NO sense of decency at all?? Diana has been dead for over 5 years - when is this poor woman going to be allowed to rest in peace?

And any fool can figure out that there's no chance that he's Prince Harry's father. Harry was born in September, 1984. Diana didn't start her affair with James Hewitt until 1985. Simple arithmetic here people........Harry has red hair alright, but so does Diana's two sisters and her brother - it's a Spencer trait that Harry obviously inherited. Diana's brother and James Hewitt could probably pass for brothers but it doesn't mean they're related............

I agree with gsx...Her so called charity work consisted of visiting poor countries and makeing sure the cameras where on her ..her clothes where always emaculant and her make-up perfect. I believe Mother Treasa should have gotten more coverage (on her death)for her charity work...she really rolled up her sleeves and went to work...slept on cold floors and comforted the sick.Goes to show how shallow the general public is.

Diana betrayed her children for sexual gratification...I believe she failed the morality test...by far!

Answer to your question...yes i would "betray" her...and give the money to charity!!

$16 Million (American) is a lot of money. I don't know if this guy has a lot of money already, and this could be a huge source for him; enough to set him up for life if he were smart about it.

Diana was/ is such a huge subject still in the UK, so I imagine that in fact these letters are quite in demand by the public. It is no secret that her marriage was full of cheating by both sides, so really these letters might only give some insight on the details.
