A new and explosive biography about Prince Andrew’s life (65) is causing a stir in the United Kingdom. One chapter claims that a physical altercation once occurred between Prince Harry (40) and his uncle at the palace. Prince Harry has since responded to the claims, strongly denying that any such fight ever took place. The supposed trigger: alleged offensive remarks about Meghan Markle (44).
“I can confirm that neither of these claims is true,” a spokesperson for Prince Harry told Us Weekly on Saturday. The alleged incident, which was said to have happened more than a decade ago, is purely fictional, the statement continued. “Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical altercation, nor has Prince Andrew made these comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry.” The rumors stem from an excerpt of Andrew Lownie’s new book, Entitled:
The Rise and Fall of the House of York, about Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson (65), published by the Daily Mail. The book claims that Harry and Andrew had a “heated argument” at a family event in 2013. Comments allegedly made “behind Harry’s back” supposedly escalated into violence. According to the account, Andrew—who was removed from royal duties due to his alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein (65)—predicted that Harry and Meghan’s marriage would not last and referred to Markle as an “opportunist.
” It is worth noting, however, that Prince Harry only met and fell in love with the American actress in 2016, which raises doubts about the timeline of Andrew’s alleged remarks. The book further alleges that “fists were flying,” and that Andrew walked away from the scuffle with a bloody nose. Ongoing Tensions These new claims come amid continued tension between Harry and Meghan and other members of the royal family.
The couple, who wed in a high-profile ceremony in 2018, stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and relocated to Montecito, California. They are now raising their son Archie (6) and daughter Lilibet (4). Recently, there have been reports of a small reconciliation. Royal staff members reportedly held talks with employees of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in London. It is said that an agreement was reached to better coordinate Prince Harry’s future appointments with the royal family.
