In a recent revelation, sources close to Prince William have cast doubt on Prince Harry's assertion that his brother physically attacked him during a heated confrontation. This claim arises amid ongoing tensions within the royal family, specifically surrounding the treatment of Meghan Markle, Harry's wife. In his memoir, 'Spare', Harry described a physical altercation whereby William confronted him about Meghan's behavior, assertions which have now been described by insiders as exaggerated and a 'cheap shot'.

The criticism of Harry's narrative is highlighted in a new biography by Russell Myers, a royal editor for the Mirror. Myers' book, 'William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story', provides context and perspectives from individuals close to William, suggesting that the depiction of the incident in Harry's memoir is misleading. They argue that Harry's portrayal not only distorts the events but also serves to sensationalize family conflicts for public consumption.

This dispute over the circumstances of the altercation underscores the ongoing rift between the brothers and raises questions about the broader implications for the royal family’s public image. As Harry and Meghan continue to navigate their roles outside of royal duties, the divergent recounting of family conflicts further fuels media scrutiny and public interest, complicating efforts for reconciliation within the family dynamics.
