What led to Prince William's 'physical attack' on Prince Harry? | Royal analysis

An alleged fight between Princes William and Harry happened in the year that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were planning “Megxit”, the Duke’s autobiography reveals.

Telegraph Associate Editor and former Royal correspondent, Camilla Tominey, gives her expert analysis on 'more detail than we ever expected to hear' about the reported altercation.

A leaked extract of Spare, which will be published on Jan 10, claims that William shoved Harry to the floor in a physical altercation at Kensington Palace in 2019.

It was during 2019 that the Duke and Duchess’s plans to divide their time between Britain and North America first emerged, causing huge tension between the royal brothers.

Prince Harry writes in his book, an extract of which has been obtained by the Guardian newspaper, that William “knocked me to the floor” after grabbing him by the collar and breaking his necklace.

Prince William had gone to his brother’s Nottingham Cottage home in the grounds of Kensington Palace to confront him over his wife’s “rude”, “abrasive” and “difficult” behaviour, the book claims.

Harold fails to mention that William had just come from comforting staff who he found in tears after having been bullied by Meghan, and that William had first tried calling Harry but Harry hung up on him.
As for any altercation, well, we just have a jealous and vengeful liar's side of the story.

Good for William. Older brother setting boundaries. H&M had to go to America to be brave enough to run their mouths.

Prince William finally did it he put Harry in his place

[marys]

Harry doesn't seem to realise that he is admitting his wife's bad behaviour was the root cause of the argument and he was just too besotted with her to admit she was at fault.

[quickbeam]

We don’t REALLY know what happened because Harold & Rachel have been caught out over 100 times either distorting the truth or telling outright lies. I hope KP continues to keep their own council & refuses to comment. Harold wants his own privacy but has no problem whatsoever invading everyone else’s.

Poor Harry ... Such a victim ... "I want my daddy and brother back". "Daddy, William hit me." "William, the staff don't like my wife because she's such a bully, and so rude and abrasive and condescending towards them, but please help me to support her against the staff. Because, after all, they're just paid staff and of no consequence. My wife is a Duchess and has the right to treat the paid staff with the utmost disregard and disrespect."

[sallya.]

Good for William and Kate standing up for the staff. No one in the royal family should be exempt from treating the staff with respect. Even the Queen told Meghan this is not how we speak to people in this family.

[franceslawton]

Harry takes no responsibility for anything ever always a Victim

[obwun]

Kudos to William. If this is true I have so much more respect for him! Harry is supposed to be a trained army officer but he’s really just a wimp playing the victim.

[sandraspadina]

Funny Harry says the family didn't protect them, but who protected the staff. William showed he was the better man and didn't try to do a cover up job. And had he ignored the problem and covered it up the press and the people would have crucified William.

[flinders]

William has gone up in my estimation. The ginger winger needs a good slap now and again.

[cstricklandforgod]

Have noticed that Harry's stories change constantly and far more exaggerated. Why does Harry look under the influence during interview. Eyes dilated.

[thanksamill]

It struck me immediately when I saw this story about William, that this leak is Harry's doing. And how it's backfiring on him already!

[giusi]

i find this all incredibly disgusting and this has all no place in the public. these are private issues. i‘d be mortified if every fight i had with my siblings would be put out there to be judges by people who weren’t there. harry is a disgusting person for doing this.

[littlebobas]

Harry mentions in one of his 3 interviews about his book that Prince William is and always has been his 'Arch Nemesis' due to the heir and the spare that statement doesn't show how jealous Harry is regarding his brothers birthright then I don't know what does! He hates that he is or actually more accurately WAS the spare (now there are 4 people ahead of him instead of just the 1) and I think he is doing all he can to tarnish his brothers reputation, the queen, Prince Philip and then KC are just collateral damage.
He is a very sad little man.

[georgeburton]

Well done Prince William, but what had Harry said to make William so angry. Also he went and phoned his therapist, well why wasn't he able to get the help his wife supposedly needed, if he was a phone call away from a therapist, .??And I have never known a dog dish of stainless steel breaking in two??, And as for saying William broke his necklace, please, bet that gave serving solders who fight in battle for our country a good raucous belly laugh. Maybe that little gem he should have kept to himself 😨 Harry is not the person we knew, to do this to your brother is mean and beyond contempt. Harry has no honour left, he is a disgrace to his family and to our great country. Thankfully he is the spare and not the heir, his legacy will from this day be a vindictive, jealous, mean dishonest and totally dishonourable man.

[idlehands]

When an Apache pilot whines that his brother broke his necklace it's time to worry.

[butterkaya]

One practical truth is that, when Kate join the family, the brothers relationship appeared to get stronger.

When Meghan join the family. Harry seems to enemied everybody in the family.

[birgittavanblitterswijk]

Nobody knows if it really happened, H&M have already told so many lies, this might well be the next one... don't fall into their traps.

[brunaschroeder]

If my brother sold me to Netflix and to the media, I would never apologized even If I was at the wrong.
