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.”
He says William told him to hit him back but he refused, and so his brother left "looking regretful, and apologised".
William then told his brother not to tell Meghan about the confrontation, according to Harry.
Harry says he replied: "You mean that you attacked me?", to which he claims William responded: "I didn't attack you, Harold."
It is also reported Harry's book reveals how King Charles pleaded with his sons not to make his "final years a misery".
The Duke of Sussex says his father brought the feuding brothers together following Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021.
