According to the book, William physically attacked Harry in 2019 in the kitchen of his London home, Nottingham Cottage.

Harry claims William began by calling Meghan "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive", before he launched at his younger brother, resulting in Harry sustaining back injuries after landing on a dog bowl on the floor.
