Prince Harry's Alleged Fight With His Uncle Detailed In New Book Despite His Strong Denial Of The Incident

A new book claims Prince Harry once punched his uncle, Prince Andrew, during a family clash, leaving him bloodied.

It also states that Andrew got into another scuffle with his nephew after he allegedly branded Meghan Markle "too old" and an "opportunist." Tensions with Prince William also run deep after Andrew allegedly insulted Kate Middleton.

While speculation suggests Prince of Wales could strip both Andrew and Harry of their titles when he becomes king, insiders insist he would not.

Prince Andrew reportedly once clashed violently with his nephews, Prince Harry and William, during a tense family gathering, an incident that is said to have escalated to shocking proportions.

According to royal author Andrew Lownie's new book "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York," the confrontation took place in the autumn of 2013 after Harry discovered disparaging remarks Andrew had made about him.

The heated exchange quickly turned physical, with Harry allegedly landing punches that left his uncle bloodied before others stepped in to break it up.

A source claimed to Lownie, "Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up."

The Duke of York is said to have later provoked Harry further in 2017 by cruelly dismissing his relationship with Meghan Markle, predicting their marriage would not "last more than a month."

According to insiders, Andrew once accused Harry of failing to do his "due diligence" before marrying Meghan.

He also allegedly branded Meghan an "opportunist," claimed she was "too old" for Harry, and warned his nephew that marrying her would be the "biggest mistake ever."

The remarks reportedly enraged Harry so much that "he later told William he was planning to kill his uncle Andrew. He hated him that much."

Andrew's bond with William has also been strained for years. A source claimed the tension began after Andrew was openly rude to Kate Middleton, leaving William with little patience for him.

Now, palace insiders say William may go further than his grandmother or father ever dared by using rarely employed constitutional measures to strip Andrew of his royal privileges.

"He's fully aware of the harm Andrew has caused to the monarchy's reputation and won't shy away from actions his grandmother or father may have steered clear of," one insider said, per Radar Online. "Andrew's Dukedom could be up for discussion when William takes the throne."

As previously reported by The Blast, Harry fiercely denied the allegations made in Lownie's new book, even going as far as involving his lawyers.

"I can confirm Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make the comments he is alleged to have made about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry," the Duke of Sussex's spokesperson said about an excerpt from the book shared on the Daily Mail.

In another statement, a spokesperson told Newsweek, "Such are the gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks made in the Daily Mail's story, I can confirm a legal letter from Prince Harry's counsel has been sent to the Mail."

According to Sky News, the royal author, Lownie, also received legal threats through his publisher, Harper Collins; however, this has not deterred him from releasing his book.

"Inevitably, there has been pushback and attempts to discredit my revelations, but I stand by them and, indeed, have more to reveal," Lownie said in response to Harry's legal threats.

He added, "Harry is trying to intimidate me, to put me on the defensive and shape the narrative, but it will not work."

According to palace insiders, William is unlikely to strip Andrew or Harry of their titles when he becomes king, despite constant speculation.

"Everyone keeps saying William will take away Andrew and Harry's titles when he becomes king, but he literally can't do that without an act of Parliament," one source told NewsNation. "There is absolutely no way William would do that, as it would bring even more attention to the issues with them both."

Instead, Andrew will reportedly be pushed further into "royal Siberia," excluded from family gatherings and left out of official life altogether.

While he is still invited to Sandringham for Christmas under King Charles, insiders say William has no intention of extending such invitations once he takes the throne.

The same cold-shoulder treatment reportedly awaiting Andrew is expected for Harry. Unless there is a dramatic reconciliation, William and Kate allegedly plan to maintain complete silence.

"There's no way Kate or William allow them a private audience," one insider explained about William and Kate's feud with Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle.

"They haven't spoken to them since Harry's tell-all memoir 'Spare' came out early last year, and don't want to. It would be a PR opportunity, and they'd likely blab everything to Gayle King a day later," the source added.

Amid the ongoing rift, Harry has publicly voiced his desire to reconcile with his family. His senior aides were recently spotted having a "peace summit" with King Charles' top aides, hinting at a possible reunion between father and son.
