BREAKING NEWS: Even Royal Families are normal & have jealousies & spats! …

Prince Harry reportedly claims he was physically attacked by his brother during a row over his marriage, according to a leaked extract of his upcoming memoir. 

Prince William called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive” in a confrontation with Harry which turned violent, the Duke of Sussex claimed in an extract of the book obtained by The Guardian.

In it, Harry said he told William he was parroting “the press narrative” around his American wife and alleged his older brother then “grabbed me by the collar” and “knocked me to the floor”.

The extraordinary incident happened during a heated row between the two brothers in 2019 at the cottage Harry shared with his wife Meghan in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

According to The Guardian, the bombshell claim is “one of many” in Harry’s highly-anticipated memoir “Spare”, which is due to be released on Tuesday. The newspaper said it was able to obtain a copy despite “stringent pre-launch security around the book”. 

The extract describes William’s desire to discuss “the whole rolling catastrophe” of the two brothers’ relationship and struggles with the press.

But it claims that William, now the Prince of Wales, was already “piping hot” when he arrived at Harry’s home in 2019.

Harry claimed his brother was not being rational and a shouting match ensued, The Guardian reports.

The newspaper’s report states: “Harry then accused his brother of acting like an heir, unable to understand why his younger brother was not content to be a spare.”

Insults were then exchanged between the two men, before William claimed he was trying to help, which triggered an incredulous response from Harry.

Harry reportedly claimed the Prince of Wales swore and stepped forwards, scaring him.

He writes: “(William) called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

Harry writes that William urged him to hit back but he refused. Shortly afterwards though, the elder brother appeared to regret his behaviour and apologised.

William then told his brother not to tell Meghan about the confrontation. Harry said: “You mean that you attacked me?”, to which William responded: “I didn’t attack you, Harold.” 

Harry said he did not immediately tell his wife but she had noticed “scrapes and bruises” on his back.

Meghan, whom Harry married in 2018, was not surprised, but saddened by the incident, according to the extract.

The Guardian also details another alleged confrontation between Harry and William that is recounted in “Spare”, shortly after their grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.

Their father King Charles was also at the meeting in April 2021, the newspaper said.

Harry quotes his father as saying to his warring sons: “Please boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.”
