“I never knew what love was until I met you,” Diana told a dashing British Army Captain named James Hewitt in just one of more than 100 letters she wrote to the man widely rumored to be her younger son Prince Harry’s real biological father! “Until you came into my life, the pain was unbearable,” Diana wrote. “Charles and his family have turned their backs on me.”

James, a talented horseman, was hired by the royal family to give Diana riding lessons — and the illicit affair between them soon was off and running. The lovestruck princess penned the letters to James during their five-year affair — and only The National ENQUIRER has obtained exclusive excerpts of their tender correspondence. When James was serving as a tank commander in 1991’s Gulf War, Diana’s devotion reached a fever pitch as she fretted for his safety.

She’d sometimes write him twice a day — and didn’t bother to encode the lust she felt for her military man. “How I long for your touch, how I ache to feel your firm body against mine once more,” she wrote. “I couldn’t go on living if anything happened to you. Me and the boys pray for your return.” In another note, her pen purred, “I sat alone in your bedroom, holding your pillow to my cheek, breathing in the smell of you and dreaming that once more we were sharing our passion in that bed.”

The princess would hold her breath waiting for a reply. “The agony of waiting to hear from you, not knowing if you’re dead or alive, is worse than anything I’ve ever had to endure.” When an envelope finally arrived, she’d be consumed with an erotic joy that sustained her. “Boy, oh boy, does the earth shake when I get a letter from my desert friend,” she gushed. James’ war nickname was “The Desert Rat.” “Screams of delight, tears,” weeped Diana.

“Demented female on the loose!” Meanwhile, little Harry was growing up, with red hair and strong features bearing a striking resemblance to James. Tongues wagged, but Diana paid them no mind. Instead, she obsessed about the pain she endured from philandering husband Prince Charles, who humiliated her by carrying on with his married mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles. “Oh, how I long to be rid of Charles, rid of the Queen, rid of the lot of them, to be yours totally and forever,” the princess admitted in a pining missive.

“My life was so empty until you walked in. Now I think of you every waking moment,” she confessed, confiding in James her fantasy of their future together. “You could give me the baby girl I always dreamed of.” She truly believed a life with James was fated to happen. “My astrologer tells me one day I will be free to spend the rest of my life with you!” she wistfully wrote. And yet, under heavy pressure from the palace, Diana dumped her gallant soldier when he returned from the war.

In retaliation, James spilled the details of his affair with the princess to author Anna Pasternak, whose tell-all tome, “Princess in Love,” was published in 1994. Then, three years later, the princess died in a Paris car crash at age 36. James, now 59, has pocketed close to $500,000 discussing Diana in interviews and the 2003 TV documentary “Confessions of a Cad.” Shamefully, he even tried to sell Diana’s letters for millions!

“Hewitt became a hated figure,” said a source. “He never married, his business ventures collapsed, and in May he suffered a near-fatal heart attack and stroke. “Now he is bitter and broke, living as a virtual recluse with his 87-year-old widowed mother in the house where he once bedded the People’s Princess!” It cannot help to see Prince Harry grow up in his spitting image! “The resemblance to the captain is quite astonishing,” sniffed one palace insider.

But perhaps James has taken solace in the words his lover once wrote to him, hoping for a heavenly reunion: “I know our love will survive … and we will be together for all eternity.” Diana, who perished in this Paris crash, had written to Hewitt: “We will be together for all eternity”
