UA new scandal should shake up the British monarchy. In his forthcoming book The AlternatePrince Harry accuses his brother William of throwing him to the ground during an argument in 2019, according to an excerpt obtained by the British daily The Guardian. During this altercation, the 38-year-old prince accuses William of having treated Meghan as a “difficult” and “rude” woman, before the tone rose, insults bursting out, according to the British daily.
After a heated exchange, [William] grabbed me by the collar, ripping my collar off, and knocked me to the ground,” Harry would relate. “I landed on the dog’s bowl, which broke under my back, the pieces cutting into me,” added the prince, saying he remained on the ground “dazed”, before asking his brother to leave. William would then have “apologized”, he specifies.
This altercation would have left Harry with “scratches and bruises”, he further details, according to the Guardian.
The two brothers in cold
Prince Harry said he wanted to “reconnect” with his father King Charles III and his brother William, to whom he previously seemed very close, in an interview excerpt published on Monday January 2. But their relationship seems far from peaceful. In a documentary broadcast on Netflix in December, the couple, who live in the United States, accused the royal family of having lied, also accusing him of having failed to protect them.
Harry targeted his brother, saying he ‘yelled’ at him at a family reunion in 2020 attended by Elizabeth II. The Sussexes also accuse William and his wife Kate of causing the negative press coverage because they were “stealing the show”. In March 2021, they accused the royal family of callousness and racism in a shock interview.
