(NEW YORK) Prince Harry, who has been at loggerheads with the British royal family, accused his brother William of throwing him to the ground during an argument in 2019, according to an excerpt from his upcoming book, which was obtained by The Daily on Wednesday. Guardian.
Harry and his wife Meghan left the monarchy in 2020 with a highly publicized split on both sides of the Atlantic.
The couple, who live in the US, have publicly criticized the royal family on several occasions, either in interviews or in a recent Netflix documentary.
In his book Spare Harry, who will be released on January 10, claims his older brother William was physically assaulted during an argument in London in 2019. Guardian.
During the confrontation, 38-year-old Prince William accused Meghan of treating Meghan as a “difficult” and “rude” woman, before the tone rose and the insults erupted, according to the British daily.
After hot exchange, [William] Grabbed my collar, ripped my collar, knocked me to the ground,” Harry would say.
“I landed in the dog bowl and it broke under my back and the pieces cut into me,” said the prince, who said he was on the floor “in shock” before telling his brother to leave.
William would later “apologize,” he notes.
He further described how the altercation would have left Harry with “scratches and bruises”. Guardian.
Prince Harry said in part of an interview published on Monday that he wants to “reconnect” with his father, King Charles III, and his brother, William.
But their relationship was not peaceful. In a documentary that aired on Netflix in December, the couple accused the royal family of lying and failing to protect her.
Harry took aim at his brother, claiming he ‘shouted’ at a family reunion attended by Elizabeth II in 2020.
The Sussexes also accuse William and his wife Kate of causing negative press coverage for “stealing the show”.
In March 2021, they accused the royal family of cruelty and racism in a shock interview.
Following the death of Elizabeth II on September 8 and the accession of Charles III to the throne, the British royal family finds itself in a period of transition.
