The troubles between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, may have been far worse than previously revealed.

Days before the release of Harry’s highly anticipated memoir, “Spare,” multiple outlets are reporting that the book will feature a shocking allegation of physical violence — that Britain’s future king, William, attacked his sibling during a heated argument.

According to British newspaper The Guardian, which, like Reuters, states it has a copy of the tome, Harry writes candidly of the shocking 2019 incident.

According to The Guardian, Harry writes that his brother called his American bride “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive.” Voices were raised as Harry told William that he was, as The Guardian put it, “acting like an heir, unable to understand why his younger brother was not content to be a spare.”

Amid their disagreement and rising tensions, Harry reportedly recalled the now Prince of Wales calling him names and then, “(He) came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.  I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
