Even if Hewitt is his biological dad, his bravery comes through the Windsor line. Charles never saw combat but is said to have been an impressive and physically courageous officer who once "disrupted" a security exercise by commandeering a chopper and flying himself and his sister away from the bad guys. Uncle Andrew put his royal butt on the line to rescue survivors from the
Atlantic Conveyor during the Falklands conflict.

Here's a painting of Andrew doing his bit as a Sea king pilot:
At the time of this rescue work, the Brits were expecting a follow-on Argentine attack at any moment, IIRC.
Hewitt is an ass, and you don't have to like Charles to respect his family's habit of getting into the thick of combat and doing a good job while there.
