During the confrontation, William reportedly accused Meghan (who was not there) of being “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive,” which prompted Harry to accuse his brother of “parrot[ing] the press narrative” about his spouse. The future king responded that he was solely making an attempt to assist and reportedly turned enraged when Harry responded, “Are you serious? Help me? Sorry – is that what you call this? Helping me?”
William’s response — he reportedly swore and made a transfer in direction of his brother — scared Harry, who retreated to the kitchen. In an obvious try at deescalation, he acquired William a glass of water and stated, “Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this,” the excerpt says.
It was at that time when the longer term king reportedly attacked his brother. Harry writes that William urged him to hit again, however he refused, inflicting his brother to depart the Sussexes’ house. He returned quickly after the altercation, “looking regretful,” and apologized, the excerpt says.
When William left Nottingham Cottage for the second time, he reportedly “turned and called back: ‘You don’t need to tell Meg about this.’”
“‘You mean that you attacked me?’ Harry asked his brother, the excerpt says. William, according to the book, responded “‘I didn’t attack you, Harold.’”
Although Harry didn’t instantly inform Meghan concerning the violent confrontation (he writes that he first referred to as his therapist) he later revealed the reality to his spouse when she observed the “scrapes and bruises” on his again, the excerpt says. According to the e-book, Meghan “wasn’t that surprised, and wasn’t all that angry. She was terribly sad.”
