Prince William and his brother Harry reportedly had a physical altercation following comments the future king made about Meghan Markle.

In his revealing 2023 memoir Spare, Prince Harry recounted the incident, which he said took place in 2019 at his home in Nottingham Cottage.

According to Harry, now 40, William, 42, referred to Meghan as “difficult,” “rude,” and “abrasive.”

Prince William and Harry’s ‘fight’ over Meghan Markle

In a 2023 excerpt published by The Guardian, Harry shared in his memoir Spare that William wanted to discuss “the whole rolling catastrophe” — referring to their strained relationship and ongoing issues with the media.

But according to Harry, when William showed up, he was already “piping hot” — visibly angry.

Harry claimed that William criticized his wife Meghan, whom Harry married in 2018. In response, Harry accused William of echoing the media’s negative narrative and said he had expected more from him.

The conversation quickly escalated into a heated argument, with both brothers shouting at each other.

Harry also wrote that William insisted he was only trying to help.

In his autobiography, the Duke of Sussex recounted a heated exchange with his brother, Prince William. Harry recalled saying, “Are you serious? Help me? Sorry – is that what you call this? Helping me?”
