Prince Harry

The Duke of Sussex says the “ball is in their court” in this family dispute, in an ITV trailer.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have been expected to have been invited to the coronation, even though Prince Harry is no longer a "working royal". Not attending the coronation events to be held in May would be likely to be seen as a snub and a measure of the scale of the family rift. But the door is always open. Adding to the sense of family tensions, in a US trailer for the Good Morning America show, an interviewer asks Prince Harry about calling Prince William both his "beloved brother and arch nemesis" in the memoir. A row had followed, after which Prince Harry says his brother "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor". The ball is in their court," he told interviewer Tom Bradby.

Prince Harry has accused his brother, William, of physically assaulting him during an argument over his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex in 2019, ...

According to the UK media outlet, which is also now claiming to have obtained a leaked copy, Harry writes: “Of course I had been taking cocaine at that time. And the wet hands that we were shaking, we couldn’t understand why their hands were wet, but it was all the tears that they were wiping away.” In the excerpt, Harry is quoted as saying he rode past the Ritz where his mother had dinner that fateful night, and then through the tunnel, along the Seine River at the Pont de l’Alma bridge, where the car carrying Diana crashed in August 1997. Prince Harry also writes that he was too young to suspect his father’s affair, but notes that his brother “harbored suspicions” for a long time, according to The Sun report. “I whispered that I hoped she was happy and that she was with Grandfather now. In 2005, Harry was pictured on the front page of The Sun newspaper wearing a swastika armband on a German military jacket at a costume party. When they were confirmed he felt awful remorse for not having said or done anything sooner,” Prince Harry says, according to The Sun. Quoting from the copy of the book, the Mail Online reported that Harry writes, “I remember wondering… Charles supposedly shook his finger at the man and said, “I am the Prince of Wales” when the patient mirrored his gesture. Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have not commented on the allegations in the book, which Harry has promoted in a series of televised interviews that are set to air in the days ahead. William left but later returned “looking regretful” and apologized, according to the Guardian article, quoting the book. Other UK tabloid newspapers are also now claiming to have obtained a Spanish-language copy of “Spare,” after it was mistakenly made available in some bookstores in Spain on Thursday ahead of its scheduled release next week.

In his book Spare, the Duke of Sussex claims his brother pushed him to the floor, the Guardian says.

I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out." The Guardian says Harry details a meeting with Charles, then Prince of Wales, and William after the funeral of his grandfather, Prince Phillip, in April 2021. And the duke calls William his "beloved brother and arch-nemesis" in his memoir, The concept of the "heir and the spare" dates back centuries in royal circles and refers to the continuation of the royal bloodline: the first son and heir the one who inherits the throne, the second son therefore a spare should anything happen to the first-born. In Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary, the prince recounts a meeting he attended with his brother, father - the now King - and the late Queen, his grandmother. So very fast. It all happened so fast. "He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. Harry, the paper says, writes that his brother was critical of his marriage to Meghan Markle - and that William described her as "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive". He says there is a lot "that can happen between now and then" and the "ball is in [the Royal Family's] court". "He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor," the Guardian quotes Harry. Prince Harry has claimed his brother Prince William physically attacked him, according to the Guardian, which says it has seen a copy of the Duke of Sussex's memoir, Spare.

Prince Harry alleges Prince William attacked him over Meghan Markle in a new excerpt from Spare, his bombshell memoir due out next week.

According to sources close to William, he is furious that Harry has leaked details of their private conversations and the damage that Harry is causing the royal family. While Harry and Meghan were invited to join the royal family for Christmas at Sandringham, William was said to be particularly concerned about the possibility of the couple joining the family for the holiday. It is understood Charles took his sons for a walk around the castle grounds after the service and tried to act as a peacemaker, however, little headway was made and William and Kate were seen leaving shortly afterwards while Harry stayed to spend time with his royal cousins. During the incident, William is said to have called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive” while Harry accused his brother of “parroting the press narrative” about his wife. Harry started writing the book while the Queen was alive, however the release was delayed so that details of the Queen’s funeral could be included in an updated chapter. But according to Harry, things turned physical when William allegedly grabbed Harry by the collar, breaking his necklace and throwing him to the floor.

According to the Daily Mail, among the revelations from Spare so far are that Harry calls his brother, the future king of England, “Willy,” and refers to him as his “archnemesis” and “polar opposite.” The most unsparing dig, however, is aimed at his brother’s hair line during one of the family’s lowest moments.

Prince Harry accused his brother Prince William of physically attacking him during an argument over his marriage to Meghan, The Guardian reported Thursday.

Harry then reportedly told his brother to leave, which he did after initially urging Harry to hit him back, according to the news outlets. Asked if he will attend his father’s coronation, Harry says that a lot can happen between now and then: “The ball is in their court. But when Meghan noticed “scrapes and bruises” on his back, he told her what had happened, The Guardian quotes the book as saying. Harry reportedly says that he was scared of his brother, who was furious and following him around the house. Harry also said William had screamed at him during a crisis meeting.

William, Prince of Wales, is the next in line to their father, King Charles III. Despite intense efforts to keep the book under wraps, the news agency Reuters and other media outlets were also able to obtain copies after it went on sale days early in Spain. NBC News has not yet obtained or seen a copy of the book. “‘I didn’t attack you, Harold,’” he reportedly recounts William calling back. Harry writes that William then grabbed him by the collar and ripped his necklace before knocking him to the floor, the published extracts say. A pair of interviews with Harry are set to be broadcast on ITV News in the United Kingdom and CBS’ "60 Minutes" in the United States this weekend ahead of the book’s release.

The Duke of Sussex – who stepped down from senior royal duties with wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, in 2020 – has spoken openly about the rift between him and ...

Wouldn’t that be what he would say?” In the trailer, Tom - who has known both William and Harry for 20 years - questioned the prince about what he thought his brother would make of the public outbursts. However, when asked if he believes he will play a part in the future of the institution, he replied: "I don't know."

Harry claims William physically attacked him, and says he urged his father not to marry Camilla.

Prince Harry's account of a conversation he says he had with his late mother is short, the Guardian says. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out." "You're living the life she wanted for you." So far there's a tone of unresolved grief, grievance and accusation in Prince Harry's claims. It's intensely personal too, about his closest family, brother, step-mother, sister-in-law, father. Reuters news agency has also seen the Spanish version.

Ahead of his memoir's arrival, Prince Harry sat down for two interviews that suggest he still has a lot to say about his departure from royal life.

He said that while he doesn’t want to hurt his family, he wanted to give the public a “full picture” of their relationship outside what has been reported in the press. “They cleared the windscreen, the windshield [of] the misery of loss,” he told Cooper. Recalling that when he first learned the news, he didn’t cry, Harry said: “I was in shock, you know? On 60 Minutes, Harry talked about the moment he found out that his mother had died in a car crash in Paris, recalling Charles coming into his room and delivering the news. Harry continued to accuse the palace of “leaking and planting stories” about himself and Meghan in his interview with 60 Minutes, describing the process as “using someone else, an unnamed source, to feed in lies or a narrative to a tabloid media that literally radicalizes its readers to then potentially cause harm to my family. [Jeremy Clarkson’s op-ed](https://www.thecut.com/2022/12/jeremy-clarkson-meghan-markle-camilla.html), in which the writer wrote that he “hated” Meghan and would like her to be forced to “parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain” à la Game of Thrones. He explained that he hoped writing about their rivalry growing up “squashes this idea that somehow my wife was the one that destroyed the relationship between these two brothers.” Harry repeated this claim on 60 Minutes, explaining that Camilla was “dangerous” because she needed to have a transactional relationship with the press. They could only have been leaked by the one other person present.” Harry also suggested that his father and Camilla’s press office fed stories about William and Kate Middleton to tabloids when they were first married noting, [per Hall](https://twitter.com/ellievhall/status/1612205151846293504), that his brother and sister-in-law “went through a large portion of the same things that Meghan and I went through.” In his book, Harry claims William called Meghan “difficult,” “rude,” and “abrasive” before grabbing him and knocking him on the floor. “Meghan and I have continued to say that we will openly apologize for anything that we did wrong, but every time we ask that question, no one’s telling us the specifics or anything,” he told Cooper. Judging from [leaked excerpts](https://www.thecut.com/2023/01/everything-we-learned-prince-harry-memoir-spare.html) and the numerous interviews he’s done ahead of the book’s arrival, Harry still has a lot to say about how his family treated him both before and after his departure from royal life, and he doesn’t seem to be holding back.

Prince Harry defended his decision to discuss complicated familial relationships publicly in a preview for a new ITV interview.

In the preview, Bradby highlights a double standard in Prince Harry’s push against the violation of privacy he and Markle, as well as their children, have been subjected to. In a recent preview from an upcoming ITV interview, set to premiere on Sunday ahead of the Tuesday release of his book, the Duke of Sussex defends his decision to publicly address the kind of [ family drama ](https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/prince-harry-60-minutes-teaser-1234655094/)most people would keep locked away with the skeletons in their closets.

But the argument inevitably came up after Meghan discovered “scrapes and bruises” on her husband’s back, Harry writes. The prince of Wales allegedly demanded Harry fight back, but Harry says he refused, and William eventually left.

Another “startling revelation” from Page Six’s reporting on Spare is Harry’s admission that his penis (referred to as his “todger”) was frostbitten at William and Kate’s 2011 wedding, as Harry was recovering from a charity North Pole expedition that had occurred the month prior. In what is perhaps the most shocking Spare revelation yet, Harry apparently outs William and Kate as “regular—nay, religious—viewers of Suits.” As reported by Page Six, when Harry told his siblings who his newest paramour was at the start of his relationship with Meghan, “their mouths fell open” and William responded, “F–k off?” It seems William’s familiarity with Meghan’s job made him even more apprehensive about Harry’s new relationship. After all, they did just meet, and according to the leak, Harry goes on to note, “Willy didn’t hug many strangers.” Apparently, the costume was for a “Native and Colonial” themed party (there’s your first mistake!), and when Harry asked William and Kate whether he should go as a pilot or a Nazi, they chose Nazi. knocked [him] to the floor.” Harry fell on a dog bowl and broke it, resulting in noticeable injuries to his back, which Meghan later saw.

In the book Harry describes his rebellious teenage years. Harry, 38, and the American actor married at Windsor Castle in May 2018. The book recounts Harry's decades of disenchantment with his privileged, scrutinized and constrained royal life. He said he felt neither pride nor shame about his actions, and in the heat of battle regarded enemy combatants as pieces being removed from a chessboard.

The duke's bombshell memoir reveals his grief and anger at losing his trust for his family.

Such was the strangeness and scrutiny of his young life that he says he welcomed serving in Afghanistan. The aftermath of her death seems to have left a divide between Harry and his father, now King Charles. Also previously untold was his account of finding out about Queen Elizabeth's ill-health and death. It was a line used by Barack Obama before he became president - and it runs through this memoir like the writing in a stick of rock.

In his book, Harry describes killing 25 Taliban fighters as being like removing chess pieces from a board.

But it is not always possible to count bodies on the ground or to distinguish between someone injured or killed. Lots of people firing roughly in the same direction would make it harder to tell too.

Richard Kemp, a retired British army officer, also took issue with Harry’s description of Taliban fighters as “chess pieces” removed from the board, telling the same network they “tarnished” his reputation and “unjustly” painted the British Army in a negative light. UK newspaper the Telegraph reports that Prince Harry claims to have killed 25 people while serving with the British army in Afghanistan, saying that in the heat of combat he viewed his targets as “chess pieces” rather than people.

Harry says he landed on a dog bowl, which left him bruised, and that his brother egged him to hit back, but he didn’t. The prince recalls fears that she would become a “wicked stepmother” and be unfairly compared to Diana. They declined at the time to say who prompted that conversation — only that it wasn’t Queen Elizabeth or her husband, Prince Philip.

It was "a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion,” the prince writes. “One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub.” The prince says that he killed 25 members of the Taliban during his two tours serving the British army in Afghanistan. “When I found myself plunged in the heat and confusion of combat I didn’t think of those 25 as people.

In a particularly striking passage, Harry compares meeting Camilla for the first time to “getting an injection”—“close your eyes and you won’t even feel it”—while elsewhere he expresses his resentment that the Queen Consort transformed his bedroom into a dressing room after he moved out of Clarence House. “It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me,” he writes, noting that he chose to see Taliban fighters as “chess pieces removed from the board” because “you can’t kill people if you see them as people.” After owning his decision to wear a Nazi uniform to a Halloween party in 2005 during Harry & Meghan (“probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life”), Harry writes in Spare that the Prince and Princess of Wales allegedly encouraged him to wear it. Harry refers to his stepmother as the Other Woman in Spare, claiming that both he and William told their father they would forgive Camilla and welcome her into the family if Charles promised never to marry her. “Pa liked telling stories, and this was one of the best in his repertoire. “I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought,” he writes.

Despite the media depicting William and Harry as each other’s greatest supporters before the Duke of Sussex’s 2018 wedding (and Harry himself comparing them to George and Lennie from Of Mice and Men in Spare), the Duke of Sussex highlights their competitiveness over the course of their lives, referring to the Prince of Wales as his “arch-nemesis” at one point. “I’d been offered a line and I’d done a few more since,” he recalls. How could he be expected to show them in such a crisis?”

He reportedly writes that he remembers “cruising past the Ritz, where Mummy had her last meal” before entering the Pont de l’Alma tunnel. Harry recalls that he was arriving by plane when he received the news on his phone but not via a message from his family. “I looked at Willy, really looked at him, perhaps for the first time since we were little, taking in every detail: his familiar scowl, which had always been the norm in his dealings with me,” Harry reportedly wrote. As the late monarch’s health declined, Harry writes that his father, now King Charles III, called him to share the news. He writes that the woman in question “liked macho horses” and treated him “like a young stallion.” When the encounter ended, he reportedly writes, she “spanked my ass and sent me away.” In his memoir, he reflects on the moment in which he found out she had passed away—on the BBC news website.

As the leaks from the royal's forthcoming memoir make the rounds, one bit of bodily overshare has grabbed a large percentage of headlines. It's funny, yes.

[writes](https://pagesix.com/2023/01/05/prince-harry-reveals-whether-hes-circumcised-in-bombshell-spare-memoir/) in the memoir. The person who is perhaps the only one who has access to what you went through—the struggles of the monarchy, having that father and those expectations, the tragedy of losing their mother—fading into something different, something more bald. These parts are when the book—which, we should remember, few people outside of Spain have been able to read cover to cover—seems most like an exorcism so far, especially when paired with the Sussex’s Oprah interview and their Netflix documentary. (Before we go on, it should be clarified that “Willy” is what he calls his brother and “todger” is the polite term he uses to refer to his penis.) But then this: Harry noted that with the balding, William’s resemblance to their late mother had “faded.” The frostbite healed as the duke returned to England’s gentler climes, and most was well in time for the big royal wedding. But, as would be expected, the most extreme of his extremities took a little longer to get back to normal. It was a moment when Harry felt misunderstood, and worse, as though no one was even trying to understand him. So, he reportedly writes, as he walked down that aisle of Westminster in support of his brother’s new chapter in life, his “todger” was ailing. [this detail about his most private parts up](https://nypost.com/2023/01/06/prince-harry-ripped-over-frostbitten-penis-bombshell/) out of nowhere in the book, which has dominated headlines nearly everywhere since the first excerpts of it leaked on Wednesday. As we’ve processed the torrent of leaks from Spare this week, it’s almost been hard to keep track of it all. The content of its pages has seeped into the water table and osmosis-ed into your brain, where it’ll fester for a bit, then harden.

Or the implication that a racist slur was in common use when Harry was a child, though he doesn't specify by who. The Palace responded swiftly to apologise, and to confirm that Lady Hussey had resigned. Racism was one of the key themes of last month's documentary, too. He said he knew I wasn't a racist, that it was alright. "I didn't know [it] was an insult," he said. To which Harry replied: "I don't know.

Harry speculates that Kate was “on edge,” as she was now “going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg.” In Spare, Harry tries to set the story straight on a much-reported kerfuffle over bridesmaid dresses between Meghan and Kate before Meghan and Harry’s wedding. The British tabloids initially reported that a disagreement between the bride and her future sister-in-law ended with Kate in tears. Harry says in Spare that things got off to a promising start even before he introduced Meghan to his family, when he realized that his brother and sister-in-law were fans of Meghan’s TV show Suits. “All this time I’d thought Willy and Kate might not welcome Meg into the family, but now I had to worry about them hounding her for an autograph,” he writes. The Guardian, Us Weekly, and The Telegraph say that they have acquired copies of Spare, and Page Six claims to have gotten its hands on excerpts.
