The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has revealed how his brother, the Prince of Wales, Prince William, physically assaulted him.
Harry made the revelation in his highly-anticipated memoir, Spare, a copy of which was obtained by Guardian UK on Thursday.
In the book, Harry recounted how his brother grabbed him by the neck and pushed him to the ground, adding that their relationship fell apart over his marriage to Meghan Markle.
The Guardian UK, in a report on Thursday said: “Describing a confrontation at his London home in 2019, Harry says William called Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’, which Harry believes is a ‘parrot[ing of] the press narrative’ about his American wife.
“The confrontation escalated, Harry writes, until William ‘grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and… knocked me to the floor’”, claiming that the incident resulted in visible injury to his back.
According to reports, there is stringent pre-launch security around the book, Spare, which is set to be published simultaneously across the globe next week.
