I dont know what you mean by this. He may have been a successful soldier, but he hardly acted like an officer and gentleman in relation to Diana. A gentleman does not betray a woman's trust by confirming an afaair with her, and he certainly does not make money out of the relationship. If Will and Harry were fond of Hewitt when they were chidlren, ti makes his betrayal of their mother all the wrose.
The ungentlemanly points about him are fair game..what is unusual is when positive mention is made, it's usually pummeled into the ground pretty quickly. Reasons for it are likely tied to fact that the Monarchy is involved, so transgressions of this sort are several x's worse than they would be otherwise.
One small analogy.. Steve Mcqueen received criticism when his relationship with Ali McGraw came out, with many surprised to hear of rogue abusive behavior, and a drug habit. However, longstanding acts of kindness to an orphanage he knew well, and other sides of him were not forgotten. Whereas with Hewitt, the lens is reversed. Bad vs. good traits are positioned 100 to 1.
