Since the Prince Harry He abandoned Royal Family, in January 2020, two opposite factions were created: on the one hand the crown and his supporters, on the other the Sussex and their admirers. A feud between families who would seem to have also involved some British media. The Duke (and the same goes for Meghan Markle) accused and was accused, finding himself alternatively in the role of the victim or executioner (sometimes playing the victim’s card). He judged with harshness and was judged with the same inflexibility he used. Understanding from the outside where the truth is, if only one exists, is almost impossible. This situation looks a lot like a tennis match where, however, in place of a normal ball, poisoned arrows are launched. A match that has never ended. On the contrary, these days he has found new strength in an anecdote that sees Harry in the part of the attacker.
“With bleeding nose”
Prince Harry would have beaten his uncle Andrea. This is the sensational anecdote reported in Andrew Lownie’s new book, “Entitled. The Rise and Fall of the House of York”, coming out on August 14th and mentioned by the Daily Mail last August 1st. The author said: “At a family meeting, in 2013, Harry and Andrea had a heated discussion and punched for something that Andrea had said behind Harry. According to a source close to both Harry said (his uncle) that he had been a coward not to tell him in the face”. Lownie, then, underlined: “Apparently Harry got the better of Andrea and left him with his bleeding nose before the fight was interrupted.”
“No more than a month”
The reason for this alleged quarrel is not clear, but it seems that the controversy has not ended with the fist of Prince Harry. When Meghan entered the court, in 2017, the tension between the Duke of Sussex And the Duke of York would have re -elected. Lownie continued: “Subsequently Andrea told Harry that his marriage to Meghan Markle would not last more than a month and accused the grandson of having gone out of his mind and not having carefully evaluated the past (Della Duchessa)”. This is nothing. According to the writer and journalist, Prince Andrea would have “Openly accused Meghan of being an opportunity and thought it was too old for Harry, adding that his nephew was making the biggest mistake of his life”. Harry, angry and frustrated, would have vented with his brother: “Later Harry told William that Andrea hated.”
Dukes compared
In the book “Entitled” both Prince Harry, and the Prince Andrea They would have made a bad impression, the first appears as a young, impatient, collector, too inclined to come to the hands in situations that could be resolved in a different and more elegant way. The second, he wrote newsweek, is painted like a man “Rozzo, privileged” And “Obsessed with sex”description, the latter, which we also find on the Daily Mail. Without forgetting that, according to what revealed by Lownie, not even the Duke of York would have made any problem to try to solve the misunderstandings with the young nephew to the sound of punches. Both would appear as two capricious, spoiled personalities, literally ready to tear off for a word too much. Not exactly what we would expect from the descendants of the Queen of England Elizabeth II.
William and Andrea
According to Lownie, the Guardian reported, Prince Andrea would always have had a relationship “problematic” also with the Prince William. He would even have come to behave in a rude and contemptuous way with Kate Middleton, exacerbating the existing tensions. The heir to the throne would have already thought about how to punish his uncle and his wife Sarah Ferguson, with whom the relationships would no longer be lying. In “entitled” the author said: “(William) Sarah also hate … and he can’t wait for the day when his father will throw them out both. If Carlo will not do it, I guarantee you that the first thing William will do when he becomes king will be chasing them away”.
“Like a hand bomb”
It seems that Prince Andrea is truly unbearable, at least according to Lownie’s sources. “It is as delicate as a hand bomb”said an insider in no uncertain terms. According to reports from the Daily Mail, he would have an attitude “Child” and inappropriate. A friend revealed, for example, that “Sitting next to him (to him) at dinner would be a nightmare” Because of his continuous vulgar jokes and his coarse jokes. Once, he wrote the Daily Mail, Boris Johnson it would be “forced” to have lunch with the Duke of York. After the meeting, the former premier would have commented: “I am the last person to be republican, but heck, if I ever have to spend another lunch in this way, I will become it soon.”
Harry turns to lawyers
These digressions on the behavior of Prince Andrea, described in great detail in entitled, would make the episode relating to the brawl with Harry more credible has really happened. The image of the Duke of York that emerges from the book is that of a provocateur, of an attackbrighe who would not have the slightest sense of measure and respect for others. Yet stories are not enough, all to be demonstrated, to formulate accusations. Harry himself firmly denied Lownie’s reconstruction. On August 2, 2025 a spokesperson for Sussexmentioned by the Daily Mail, replied: “I can confirm that Prince Harry and Prince Andrea have never had a physical clash, nor Prince Andrea ever made Prince Harry the comments on the Duchess of Sussex he is accused”. The spokesman add newsweek and the Guardian, he also reported that Prince Harry would have already turned to his lawyers: “The coarse errors and harmful and defamators made in the history of the Daily Mail are such that I can confirm that a letter from Prince Harry’s lawyer has already been sent to the email”. Andrew Lownie, known as a serious and attentive historian, would not be frightened at all. On the contrary. Quoted by the Express, the writer has hinted that the anecdote of the brawl could be the classic tip of the iceberg: “The Prince Harry calls lawyers for the history of Prince Andrea and Meghan. I can’t wait to battle and (see) the revelations that will emerge “.
Why right now?
The reputation of Prince Andrea, the protagonist of the work, has enjoyed bad health for years now, from the Epstein scandal and from the terrible interview of November 2019 to the BBC. “Bodyd” would have given her the coup de grace, irreparably reducing her to shreds. However, there is a question that many will have asked themselves by reading the anecdote relating to Harry’s alleged fist: why did this story come out right now? It would be, if it were verified, of a rather serious story. Many indiscretions on Harry have come from Megxit to date, but not this. It could be a coincidence, but there are other questions: the Duke of Sussex has mentioned several times the “toxicity” Of the court, claiming that he did not feel protected: did he also refer to Prince Andrea, perhaps to the fact that the royal family would not have defended him from his uncle? Perhaps the crown would have underestimated the situation or preferred to keep an apparent compactness, rather than running the risk of creating fractures (which then happened between William And Harry)? Strange, if this were the case, that the Duke of Sussex did not talk about it in his Memoir “Spare”.
It also affects the fact that the story about the alleged fight came out just when Harry is trying to reconcile with the Royal Family. There are many, too many doubts that, probably, will never have a certain answer.
