LONDON—Buckingham Palace was silent Thursday as it looked to weather a media storm sparked by extracts from Prince Harry’s coming memoir in which he alleges he was pushed to the floor during an altercation with his older brother and heir to the throne, Prince William.
In his book, “Spare,” Prince Harry detailed a series of fallouts with Prince William, whom he at one point describes as his “archnemesis,” according to a Spanish edition of the book viewed by The Wall Street Journal. In one extract, first published Thursday by the Guardian newspaper, Prince Harry described a heated meeting in 2019, where he alleged Prince William grabbed him by the collar, ripped his necklace and knocked him to the floor.
