In extraordinary excerpts of Spare, Prince Harry recounts a meeting with his father and brother after Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021

The extract has been published by The Guardian. It is not known how the newspaper obtained an early copy of the book. 

Harry also claimed William grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the floor during a heated argument over his wife Meghan Markle.  

He recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his sibling, now the Prince of Wales, which he claims left him with visible injuries. 

The furious row allegedly broke out at his London home in 2019, during which William is said to have branded Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’. 

Harry accused his brother of ‘parroting the press narrative’ about his wife before a screaming match ensued, ending in a physical altercation. 

The Duke of Sussex claims he was left with a visible injury to his back. 

The brothers, according to Harry, had met to discuss ‘the whole rolling catastrophe’ of their relationship and struggles with the press.

But the heir to the throne arrived to Nottingham Cottage ‘piping hot’, Harry writes. 

The Duke had been living in the home, known as Nott Cott and situated in the grounds of Kensington Palace, at the time of the alleged incident. 

When they began arguing about Meghan, Harry claims William was not being rational, leading to a shouting match. 

Harry said he told his brother he was unable to understand why he was not happy with being ‘the spare’, accusing his brother of acting like an heir. William told him he was trying to help him.  

Harry said: ‘Are you serious? Help me? Sorry – is that what you call this? Helping me?’

It was that comment, according to Harry, which infuriated William, causing him to swear while stepping towards him. 

Harry said he was scared and retreated to the kitchen as William followed. 

He claims he gave William a glass of water and told him: ‘Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this.’

He writes: ‘He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me
