The explosive revelations in Harry's book include:


He says William was already "piping hot" when he arrived wanting to talk about their deteriorating relationship.

According to Harry, it turned into a shouting match as William complained about his wife Meghan, calling her "rude" and "abrasive".

Harry accused his brother of repeating the press narrative before William insisted he was trying to help.

The Duke of Sussex responded: "Are you serious? Help me? Sorry – is that what you call this? Helping me?”

Harry claims he then poured William a glass of water and said: "Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this."

He then says his brother called him "another name" and then "came at me".

Harry claims: "It all happened so fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.

"I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

The extracts of Harry's book have been published by the Guardian. It is unclear how they obtained an early copy.

It comes after The Sun revealed that the book will take his war with brother William, 40, to a new level.

Harry’s biography Spare — expected to reveal more than his Netflix series — complains about him playing second fiddle.

The explosive book — called Spare and due to be published on January 10 — is set to go further than his £80million Netflix docuseries and give a detailed blow-by-blow account of their falling out.

Harry left senior royals in a “state of sadness” when he spoke to Netflix about private conversations at the Sandringham Summit.
