In his recent memoir, "Spare," Prince Harry offers a candid look into a physical altercation with his brother, Prince William. Despite being provoked, Harry chose not to retaliate.
Harry details the incident, which occurred at his Nottingham Cottage residence within Kensington Palace. The conflict began verbally but escalated when William allegedly grabbed Harry by the collar and knocked him to the ground, resulting in Harry sustaining minor injuries.
Following the confrontation, Harry reached out to his therapist instead of immediately informing his wife, Meghan Markle. Meghan later observed the physical marks from the altercation but responded with sadness rather than anger, according to Harry.
In the memoir, Harry describes how the argument stemmed from William's harsh criticisms of Meghan, whom he called "difficult," "rude," and "abrasive." The dispute culminated when William, in a heated moment, pushed Harry to the floor, causing him to land on a dog’s bowl, which cracked and injured his back.
Despite William urging Harry to hit him back, reminiscent of childhood skirmishes, Harry refrained. The altercation ended with William expressing regret and apologizing to his younger brother.
This revealing account in Harry's memoir underscores the complex dynamics within the royal family, highlighting his often overshadowed role as the "spare" to William's heir status.
