THE GUARDIAN: New biography of the Duke of York claims ‘punches were thrown’ after heated argument became physical
Prince Harry has denied he gave Prince Andrew “a bloody nose” during a fight at a family gathering in 2013.
According to an excerpt from a new biography of the disgraced Duke of York, published in the Daily Mail on Saturday, the pair had a heated argument that escalated into a physical altercation. “Punches were thrown over something Andrew said behind Harry’s back”, the author Andrew Lownie claimed.
The alleged fight began when “Harry told [his uncle] he was a coward not to say it to his face. Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up.”
Lownie’s biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, also claims Andrew told his nephew that his marriage to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, would “not last more than a month”. » | Bethan McKernan | Sunday, August 3, 2025
