Harry: 'William knocked me down'

THE Duke of Sussex has branded the Prince of Wales his "arch nemesis" in his bombshell book, claiming he was physically attacked by William and knocked to the floor during a furious confrontation over the Duchess of Sussex.

Harry also alleges it was William and Kate who encouraged him to wear a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party in 2005.

He calls William both his "arch nemesis" and his "beloved brother" in his autobiography Spare, and has admitted there has always been competition between them in their 'heir/spare' roles.

Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have declined to comment on the leaked claims from Harry's book which emerged five days before the explosive tellall memoir is due to be published.

Harry alleges the heated confrontation took place at his then-home in London, Nottingham Cottage, in 2019 and left him with a visible injury to his back after William grabbed him by the collar and ripped his necklace before knocking him to the floor, The Guardian said.

The newspaper said it was able to obtain a copy of Spare despite the tight pre-launch security.
