Controversial assertions surface in Prince Harry's recently published book
In his highly anticipated memoir, Spare, Prince Harry reveals a physical confrontation with his brother, Prince William, in 2019. The heated argument was triggered by comments William made concerning Harry's wife, Meghan Markle. According to the book, Harry grabbed William by the collar and knocked him to the floor [3][5].
However, it's important to note that the memoir also recounts rough childhood play fights, but these were with the sons of their father's friends, not between Harry and William directly. In these instances, Harry describes defending William and feeling fiercely protective of his brother [1].
The altercation in 2019 serves as a stark reminder of the intensity of the feud between the brothers, which has deepened following public interviews and the memoir’s critical tone towards the royal family [4].
The memoir has caused quite a stir, with BBC News acquiring a copy in Spain and The Guardian publishing an extract in the early hours of Thursday. Both Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have chosen to remain silent on the matter [2].
Among the other revelations in Spare, Harry claims responsibility for killing 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, discusses his struggles with anxiety and panic attacks, and shares accounts of his drug-taking and experiences as an Army helicopter pilot in the Afghanistan war. He also alleges that William and Catherine laughed at his Nazi costume [6][7][8].
The coronation is approaching, and the run-up may become a will-he, will-not-he come story about Harry's attendance [9]. This memoir incident, along with other allegations, promises to keep the royal family in the headlines for some time to come.
