Did Meghan's 'bullying' allegations spark the physical altercation between Princes Harry and William?
- Replies 37
It's definitely no secret that over the past few years, the relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William has somewhat deteriorated with the aftermath of Megxit and all the drama that ensued.
But it looks like it's only now that we can finally understand into what it was actually all about.
In bombshell extracts from his up-and-coming memoir, Spare, Harry talks about a 'violent showdown' he had with his older brother.
According to the Duke of Sussex, now 38, the clash began when William visited him back in December 2019 to confront him about the bullying claims against Meghan.
Apparently, the Duchess of Sussex had been accused of mistreating and bullying staff. The issue had been brought to William's attention by Harry and Meghan's former communication secretary, Jason Knauf.
Knauf wrote to William's private secretary Simon Case, revealing that he had received 'report after report' of Meghan's 'unacceptable behaviour'. It's also reported that Harry begged Knauf not to report the allegations, which were ultimately investigated by Buckingham Palace.
However, the investigation's results were ultimately never made public, so the story's remained a bit of a mystery until now.
It was later reported by The Times newspaper, and the traumatised former employees of Harry and Meghan even went so far as to form a group termed 'The Sussex Survivors' Club'.
A source later confirmed that Harry and William's physical altercation was indeed due to the allegations, with them now stepping forward to reveal that William wanted to get across to his brother that 'bullying was not something that would be condoned in the Royal Family'.
In his book, Harry recounts 'petty disputes' with William, including an argument about beards and an incident when Meghan offended her sister-in-law Kate by discussing her 'hormones' and 'baby brain'.
He does make mention of the altercation between himself and William in his Nottingham Cottage kitchen but fails to mention it was over the bullying claims.
Recalling the incident, Harry recalls that William came at him furiously, 'piping hot' with anger at the time.
He claims that his brother even encouraged him to 'hit back', but Harry refused, instead opting to call his therapist instead of telling his wife immediately.
A Buckingham Palace investigation into the bullying claims was finished last year and remained buried to keep the details of the report from the public.
However, Meghan has always strenuously denied all bullying allegations.
Members, this explosive allegation only goes to show how high tensions have become behind palace walls. It's a sad thing that two brothers who were once as close as they were have come to such blows.
It's a good reminder for us all that we should never take the people closest to us for granted, and we must actively work on fostering good relationships with our loved ones.
Time will tell if the brothers will be able to keep the peace and repair their relationship, but one thing's for sure: the public won't be forgetting this altercation anytime soon.
