Prince Harry takes legal action against Prince Andrew in fresh court dispute
In a shocking revelation, historian Andrew Lownie's 2025 book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York sheds light on a physical fight between Prince Harry and his uncle, Prince Andrew, that took place at a family gathering in 2013.
The conflict was sparked by derogatory remarks that Andrew reportedly made about Harry behind his back. The fight escalated, leading to an altercation where Harry is said to have punched Prince Andrew, leaving him with a bloody nose.
The nature of their conflict was a combination of personal insults, family tensions, and disagreements over Harry’s relationship with Meghan Markle, who was then Harry's future wife. Andrew reportedly branded Meghan as an "opportunist" and expressed doubts about the longevity of their marriage, further fuelling the bad blood between the two princes.
However, a spokesperson for Harry has denied any physical fight between the two princes, while the spokesperson also denied that Andrew made derogatory comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Harry.
Despite the denial, the author of the book, Andrew Lownie, wrote that Harry gave Andrew a bloody nose during the fight. The incident has reportedly caused a simmering rift between the two princes, with the brewing showdown between King Charles's estranged son and Prince Andrew causing stress for Prince Harry.
Despite the turmoil, Harry is reportedly planning to reconcile with the royal family and is not intending to pursue any more legal battles regarding the matter. However, he is planning to add another court battle to his list of pending cases, suggesting that he still intends to defend himself against Prince Andrew.
The threat of a lawsuit may help deter media attention from the incident, as Harry hopes to put the matter to rest and move forward. The details of the fight remain a contentious issue, with some insiders stating that punches were thrown during the altercation.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the personal and family tensions that can exist within the royal family, and the challenges that its members must navigate in the public eye.
