Prince William allegedly "lunged" at Prince Harry twice and grabbed his shirt after Prince Philip's funeral, according to the Duke's memoir.
In a newly leaked passage, he claims that the incident took place as he held peace talks with his brother and father, King Charles, at Frogmore Cottage in April 2021.
Harry said that William told him “I just want you to be happy”, before the clash.
But detailing his response, the duke wrote: “My voice broke as I told him softly, ‘I really don’t think you do’.”
In the extract, obtained by The Sun, he described William as "really steaming" and claimed that he shouted: “You never came to us. You never came to me.”
