Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has revealed in a leaked excerpt from his upcoming autobiography, Spare, that he was subjected to a physical attack from his brother, Prince William, after the latter branded Meghan Markle ‘difficult’.
Harry claims that William grabbed him by the collar, threw him to the floor, and shattered a dog bowl with his back. William then allegedly declared: ‘I didn’t attack you, Harold’.
The incident left Harry with visible injuries, including ‘scrapes and bruises’.
In a recent book, it is alleged that a furious row broke out between Prince William and Prince Harry in the kitchen of Nottingham Cottage, Kensington Palace in 2019 – shortly before Megxit. According to the book, William is said to have branded Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’, and ‘abrasive’.
Harry accused William of ‘parroting the Press narrative’ about his wife, leading to a screaming match and physical altercation. Harry claims William grabbed him by the collar, ripped his necklace, and knocked him to the ground. Harry said he got to his feet and told William to leave.
Prince Harry has alleged that his brother Prince William urged him to fight back during a dispute between them as children, but he refused. Harry also claims that after the altercation, William told him not to tell their sister, Meghan, about it.
Harry stated that William said, “I didn’t attack you, Harold.” Harry further said that his wife, Meghan, was able to see the cuts, scrapes, and bruises he had on his back from the dog bowl.
Harry claims Meghan was “terribly sad” but not surprised or angry about it. Harry says the first person he spoke to about it was his therapist over the phone.
