While Prince Harry's new memoir Spare was not set to be available for another few days, leaks have exposed a reportedly heated confrontation between the two royal brothers over his wife Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex accuses Prince William of "knocking him to the floor" in an extract seen by the Guardian, which left him "dazed" and with "scrapes and bruises". Describing the row at his London home in 2019 in his book, Harry also says William called Meghan "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive", which Harry calls a "parrot[ing of] the press narrative" about his American wife.
Previously Meghan has told how this language is commonly used to create an 'angry black woman' trope that has been used to describe herself along with other women of colour.
