Prince Harry’s Memoir: Allegations of Physical Attack by Brother Prince William
New Book Reveals Tensions Between Brothers
Prince Harry has written in his upcoming memoir, “Spare,” that his brother Prince William physically attacked him during a heated argument in 2019, according to The Guardian. The newspaper obtained an advance copy of the book, which is set to be published next week.
Argument Details
The argument took place at Harry’s Kensington Palace home, where William allegedly called Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, “difficult,” “rude,” and “abrasive.” Harry claims William grabbed his brother by the collar, ripped his necklace, and knocked him down, causing “scrapes and bruises.” William later apologized for his actions.
Additional Allegations
Separately, Page Six reported that the book alleges William and his wife Kate encouraged Harry to wear a Nazi uniform to a costume party in 2005. Harry has repeatedly apologized for the decision, calling it one of the biggest mistakes of his life.
Royal Family Reaction
Neither Buckingham Palace nor William’s Kensington Palace office has commented on the allegations.
Harry and Meghan’s Story
The book is the latest in a series of public revelations and accusations by Harry and Meghan that have shaken the British royal family. The couple married in 2018 and quit royal duties in 2020, citing racist treatment of Meghan and a lack of support from the palace.
Previous Interviews and Documentaries
Harry and Meghan have presented their side of the story in an interview with Oprah Winfrey and a six-part Netflix documentary, which recounted their bruising relationship with the U.K. media and estrangement from the royal family.
Future Plans
Harry has recorded interviews with British broadcaster ITV and CBS in the United States to promote the book. Both are due to be broadcast Sunday. In snippets released in advance, Harry said the royal household had cast him and Meghan as “villains” and “shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile.” He also claimed the palace’s refusal to defend him and Meghan from attacks was a “betrayal.”
