Prince Harry Denies Claims He Punched Prince Andrew at Royal Gathering

by

Prince Harry is setting the record straight.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share some intriguing news regarding a recently published book, titled “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.” This book has stirred up quite a buzz with claims that a physical altercation occurred between Harry and Prince Andrew at a 2013 family gathering. The incident is said to have been triggered by Prince Andrew’s remark about Meghan Markle, made in Harry’s absence. However, it’s important to note that the Duke of Sussex has refuted these allegations, denying any such confrontation took place.

A representative for Harry clarified to People magazine on August 2 that neither of the statements made about him are accurate. Specifically, there was no physical altercation between Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, and Prince Andrew never spoke negatively about Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to Prince Harry.

In an extract from Andrew Lowni’s book, a shared biography of Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, it is suggested that Andrew’s controversial nature may have sparked a heated disagreement. This dispute reportedly arose due to something Andrew had said about Harry in private, as detailed in the Daily Mail.

In a flash, the biography asserted that “blows were exchanged,” resulting in Andrew having a bleeding nose. Furthermore, the author added that Andrew confidentially advised Harry that his partnership with Meghan wouldn’t endure, characterizing her as someone who was after opportunities.

The royal family has experienced its share of disagreements since Harry and Meghan, parents of Archie (6) and Lilibet (4), chose to step back from the royal family in 2020 and settle in Montecito, California, a decision they refused to confirm involved any physical altercations with Andrew.

In January 2020, they posted on Instagram that after much thought and internal conversations, they decided this year would be a time for a significant change. They plan to relinquish their senior positions within the Royal Family and strive towards financial self-reliance. However, they remain committed to wholeheartedly supporting Queen Elizabeth II in all her endeavors.

The situation became more strained when the 40-year-old revealed in a recent interview with the BBC that King Charles III had stopped communicating with them during their ongoing legal dispute with the U.K. government over reinstating protective services.

In an interview in May, he expressed his desire for reunion with his family, stating that further conflict was no longer beneficial. He’s uncertain about his father’s remaining time and is saddened by the fact that their estrangement is due to security matters. However, it would bring him great joy if they could find a way to make peace.

However, when he returned to the U.K., Prince Harry made it clear that his personal safety was still a priority and requested appropriate security arrangements during those visits.

In simple terms, Prince Harry expressed deep sadness over his court case loss and stated, “At present, it’s hard for me to envision returning to Britain with my wife and kids.

Harry remarked, “My father has great power and skill to handle situations effectively. He doesn’t have to actively intervene, but rather let the professionals take charge, do what needs to be done, and continue resolving things in their own way.

In my expertise, I’d say, “After years of disagreement, I’m extending an olive branch for peace and understanding. I firmly believe that life is a gift, and I can only wonder about the time left with my father.
