Prince Harry has claimed his brother William branded Meghan Markle 'difficult' and 'rude' in a stand-up row that ended with the Prince of Wales grabbing him by the collar, breaking his necklace (top left in 2019) and throwing him to the floor on to a dog bowl. In an extraordinary excerpt from his upcoming autobiography Spare, leaked to the left-wing Guardian newspaper, Harry recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his sibling, which he claims left him with visible injuries, including scrapes and bruises. The furious row allegedly broke out in the kitchen of his London home, Nottingham Cottage (bottom left), in the grounds of Kensington Palace in 2019. William is said to have branded Meghan 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive' and insisted he was trying to 'help' his younger brother during a meeting about 'the whole rolling catastrophe' of their failing relationship and Harry's rows with the press. He claims he gave the heir to the throne a glass of water and said: 'Willy, I can't speak to you when you're like this'. Describing what he claims happened next, and insisting he was scared, the former soldier said: 'He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very 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'.
