Please Please Harry Boy stop making our lives a misery!
The Duke of Sussex is said to have used his new memoir to allege that his brother the Prince of Wales attacked him during a row over his relationship with Meghan.
Spare, Harry’s forthcoming book, recounts a confrontation between the siblings in 2019 that was triggered by William calling the duchess “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”, according to The Guardian.
The duke said he replied by accusing William of “parrot[ing of] the press narrative” about his wife and the brothers had a physical confrontation at Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
Harry, 38, writes that William, 40, “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and . . . knocked me to the floor” leaving him with visible marks on his back.
Meghan, who married Harry in May 2018, later saw the marks and was “terribly sad,” according to Spare.
Harry was living at Nottingham Cottage — known as “Nott Cott” — at the time of the confrontation and said William arrived wanting to talk about “the whole rolling catastrophe” of the brothers’ relationship.
When the prince arrived, Harry said he was already “piping hot” and began complaining about Meghan. A shouting match followed, before Harry accused his brother of not being able to understand the struggles of being the “spare” rather than the heir.
The siblings insulted each other, according to the book, and William claimed he was trying to help.
Harry said: “Are you serious? Help me? Sorry — is that what you call this? Helping me?”
That comment angered William, according to Harry, and the prince swore while advancing on him. Harry writes that he retreated to the kitchen with his brother following.
The duke said he offered William a glass of water and said: “Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this.”
He writes: “He set down the water, 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.”
William, according to Harry, urged his little brother to hit him back, recalling the fights they had as children. Harry, however, said he refused and William left before returning, “looking regretful, and apologised”.
When William left again, Harry said he “turned and called back: ‘You don’t need to tell Meg about this.’
“‘You mean that you attacked me?’
“‘I didn’t attack you, Harold.’”
Harry said he did not initially tell his wife but called his therapist. Meghan, 41, is said to have later spotted “scrapes and bruises” on Harry’s back and it was then that he told her about the attack.
Meghan, according to Harry, “wasn’t that surprised, and wasn’t all that angry. She was terribly sad.”
The Sussexes’ relationship with the rest of the royal family has plunged into bitter acrimony and there appears to be little chance of the parties reconciling following the claims made in Spare, which is due to be released on Tuesday.
In the book, which was ghostwritten by the American author JR Moehringer, Harry is also said to reveal private conversations between himself, William and the King following the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh in April 2021.
The King, Harry writes, stood between his sons and “looking up at our flushed faces” said “please, boys, don’t make my final years a misery”.
Stop wasting time on Meghan Harry is actually a bigger problem
