Britain’s Buckingham Palace went silent on Thursday, hoping to weather a media storm sparked by excerpts from Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoirs. Prince Harry claims in the book that he was pushed to the ground during an altercation with his brother, Prince William, the heir to the British throne.
In his book “Spare,” Prince Harry details a series of feuds with Prince William, according to a Spanish-language version of the book reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. Prince Harry at one point referred to Prince William as his “mortal enemy”. In an excerpt, Prince Harry described a violent altercation in 2019 in which he said Prince William grabbed him by the collar, snatched his necklace and threw him to the floor. The extract was first published on Thursday by the British Guardian newspaper.
Prince Harry says he fell on a dog bowl which shattered, leaving a scar on his back. According to the book, Prince William later apologized and told Prince Harry not to tell his wife Meghan Markle about the physical altercation.
