During a confrontation in 2019, William called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive,” Harry says, also describing as a “parroting of the press narrative” about Markle, The Guardian reports. The confrontation reached the point, Harry writes per The Guardian, where William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and… knocked me to the floor,”
“The extraordinary scene, which Harry says resulted in visible injury to his back, is one of many in ‘Spare,’ which will be published worldwide next week and is likely to spark a serious furore for the British royal family,” writes The Guardian.
The book has been kept under strict guard and no extracts have been made available to media outlets.
The book describes the incident that took place at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace. William wanted to discuss “the whole rolling catastrophe” of their relationship but was already “piping hot” when he arrived, Harry writes in the book.
