Redacción Bombshell in the royal family: Prince Harry is accused of punching his uncle Andrew in the face
According to a new book, there was blood, insults, and a complete rupture. The duke denied everything
A British publication ignited a new bomb within the royal family. According to journalist Andrew Lownie, Prince Harryallegedly struck his uncle Andrew in the face during an argument in 2013, in the midst of a family gathering.
The account, published in the book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York and previewed by the Daily Mail, detailed that the fight broke out when Harry discovered comments Andrew had allegedly made behind his back.
The argument escalated so quickly that, according to Lownie, Harry ended up delivering a direct blow to the face of the brother of King Charles III, leaving him with a bloody nose. The episode reportedly marked the beginning of their estrangement.
It was also claimed that Andrew never approved of his nephew's relationship with Meghan Markle. He allegedly called her an "opportunist" and predicted that their marriage wouldn't last even a month.
Harry's inner circle denied everything and threatened legal action
Prince Harry's response was swift. Through his official spokesperson, he categorically denied the account in the book. "None of this is true. There was never a fight, nor any offensive comments toward the Duchess of Sussex," he told People magazine.
Additionally, the Duke of Sussex's legal team sent a letter to the Daily Mail regarding the publication of what they considered "false, defamatory, and gravely damaging" claims.
The truth is that, although in his memoir Spare, Harry had already made clear his discomfort with his uncle, he had never mentioned a physical altercation. He did accuse him of being "embroiled in an embarrassing scandal," referring to the Epstein case.
William and Harry, at odds but united by the same disdain
Unlike Harry, Prince William has never spoken publicly about his controversial uncle. However, the book suggests that he could not stand him either.
According to Lownie, the heir to the throne was essential in Charles III's plan to evict Andrew from the Royal Lodge. He also reportedly influenced Elizabeth II's decision to remove him from his royal duties in 2022.
Amid their irreconcilable differences, Harry and William seem to share at least one opinion: that Prince Andrew doesn't deserve to be at the center of public life or in the royal family.
