Prince Harry alleges in a much-anticipated new memoir that his brother Prince William lashed out and physically attacked him during a furious argument over the brothers\u2019 deteriorating relationship, The Guardian reported Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The newspaper said it obtained an advance copy of the book, \u201cSpare,\u201d due to be published next week.<\/p>\n

It said Harry recounts a 2019 argument at his Kensington Palace home, in which he says William called Harry\u2019s wife, the former actress Meghan Markle, \u201cdifficult,\u201d \u201crude\u201d and \u201cabrasive.\u201d Harry claims William grabbed his brother by the collar and ripped his necklace before knocking him down, the newspaper said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI landed on the dog\u2019s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me,\u201d the book is quoted as saying. \u201cI lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

William later apologised, the extract says.<\/p>\n

Neither Buckingham Palace, which represents King Charles III, nor William\u2019s Kensington Palace office has commented on the claims.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The book, scheduled to be released Tuesday, is the latest in a string of public revelations and accusations by Harry and Meghan that have shaken Britain\u2019s royal family.<\/p>\n

Harry, 38, and the American actress married at Windsor Castle in May 2018. Less than two years later, the couple quit royal duties and moved to California, citing what they saw as the media\u2019s racist treatment of Meghan, who is biracial, and a lack of support from the palace.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Since then they have presented their side of the story in an interview with Oprah Winfrey and a six-part Netflix documentary released last month, which recounted the couple\u2019s bruising relationship with the UK media and estrangement from the royal family.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In the series, Harry claimed William screamed at him during a family meeting and accused palace officials of lying to protect his elder brother, who is now heir to the throne. Meghan talked about wanting to end her life as she struggled to cope with toxic press coverage.<\/p>\n

Harry has recorded interviews with British broadcaster ITV and CBS in the United States to promote the book. Both are due to be broadcast Sunday.<\/p>\n

In snippets released in advance, Harry told ITV that the royal household had cast him and Meghan as \u201cvillains\u201d and \u201cshown absolutely no willingness to reconcile.\u201d He told CBS that the palace\u2019s refusal to defend him and Meghan from attacks was a \u201cbetrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palace officials have declined to comment on any of Meghan and Harry\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n

The book also explains the reasons for its title, the Guardian said. It said Harry recounts the alleged words of his father to his mother, Princess Diana, on the day of his birth: \u201cWonderful! Now you\u2019ve given me an heir and a spare \u2014 my work is done.\u201d<\/p>\n

While William was destined from birth to be king, Harry \u2014 who is fifth in line to the throne behind his brother and William\u2019s three children \u2014 has often appeared to struggle with the more ambiguous role of \u201cspare.\u201d He spent a decade in the British Army \u2014 years he has described as his happiest \u2014 before taking up full-time royal duties in 2015.<\/p>\n
