This remark reportedly infuriated William, who swore and moved toward Harry in anger.
Harry wrote that he walked into the kitchen, with William following close behind. He handed his brother a glass of water and said, “Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this.”
The situation quickly escalated. According to Harry, William set the glass down, called him another name, and suddenly lunged.
“He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor,” Harry wrote. “I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
How Meghan Markle ‘reacted’ to ‘fight’
Harry claimed that William encouraged him to fight back, but he refused. William then left, only to return later “looking regretful, and apologised.”
According to Harry, William said: “You don’t need to tell Meg about this.”
Harry responded: “You mean that you attacked me?”
To which William replied: “I didn’t attack you, Harold.”
Harry said he didn’t tell Meghan right away, but she later noticed “scrapes and bruises” on his back, and he eventually told her. Meghan, he added, “wasn’t that surprised, and wasn’t all that angry,” but she felt “terribly sad.”
William has not made any public statements about the incident, and the palace declined to comment at the time.
