In what may be the most explosive revelation from his forthcoming memoir, Prince Harry has detailed an alleged physical confrontation with his brother Prince William that left him with visible injuries.
The Duke of Sussex claims the incident occurred at his former home of Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where William allegedly arrived enraged about Harry's wife Meghan Markle.
'He grabbed me by the collar and knocked me to the floor,' Harry recounts in his book 'Spare', set for release next week. 'The dog bowl underneath me shattered, pieces cutting into my back.'
Harry describes how the altercation allegedly continued despite his attempts to defuse the situation, leaving him with scrapes and bruises that were reportedly visible during his official engagements afterwards.
The Breaking Point
The incident, as described by Harry, represents what appears to be the final rupture in the already strained relationship between the brothers. According to the account, William insisted that Harry was failing to understand the pressure he was under as heir to the throne while simultaneously attacking his wife Meghan.
Harry writes that he attempted to reason with his brother, saying: 'Willy, please don't. I don't want to fight you.' Despite this plea, the confrontation allegedly escalated.
Aftermath and Reconciliation Attempt
Following the physical altercation, William reportedly returned to apologize while simultaneously urging Harry to fight back, claiming it would 'make things better.' Harry refused, stating he preferred to maintain his dignity.
The Duke of Sussex's account suggests this moment marked a point of no return in their relationship, with trust between the brothers seemingly shattered beyond repair.
Royal commentators are calling this one of the most damaging revelations ever to emerge from within the royal family, potentially having lasting implications for the monarchy's public image and the possibility of future reconciliation between the siblings.
