Friends of Prince Harry are reported to be considering countering some of the bombshell claims made in his new memoir with their own.
The prince's highly-anticipated autobiography Spare is due to be released in the UK on January 10 but excerpts from the book have leaked early after copies accidentally went on sale in Spain.
Harry had promised that the tell-all book would contain "raw, unflinching honesty", and in it he makes an array of shocking claims about his sex life, time in the military and his feud with Prince William.
But former allies of Prince Harry are reportedly considering whether to go on the record to quash some of the claims he made.
And several of his once loyals pals have called some of his claims "bollocks", reports The Sunday Times.
One former friend allegedly warned: "Loyalty works both ways."
The book contains a number of explosive revelations — including details of a physical fight between the Duke of Sussex and his older brother, Prince William.
The Prince of Wales allegedly pushed his younger brother to the floor during an argument that Harry said broke out after William called Meghan "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive".
In another segment of the book, Harry addressed his controversial Nazi costume that he wore to a fancy dress party in 2005 as he said that William and Kate told him to wear it.
He said that the royal couple "both howled" when he asked for their opinion.
He also claimed that he was not the real best man at William's wedding, describing his role as a "bare-faced lie", and saying that James Meade and Thomas Van Straubenzee gave the traditional speech at the reception.
The duke also alleged that his brother was "wasted" on rum hours before his wedding to Kate, and was drunk when he went out to greet people on The Mall before tying the knot.
Harry also hit out at other members of the royal family, including claiming that his father was jealous of the Duchess of Sussex.
He reportedly said the reason his father supposedly said he did not "have money to spare" to financially support him and his wife Meghan was because the King feared the "novel and resplendent" American actress would steal his limelight.
The memoir also contained a number of personal claims about the duke himself, including the revelation that he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a pub when he was 17.
He wrote that his mature lover "liked macho horses" and that she treated him "like a young stallion".
Detailing more of his teen years, he also admitted to taking cocaine when he was 17 but said that it "wasn't very fun".
In another shocking claim, the prince confessed to killing 25 members of the Taliban while in Afghanistan.
He said that he made the kills during his second tour of Afghanistan and that he didn't think of them as “people” but instead as “chess pieces”.
The Royal Family are yet to publicly address any of the claims made in the memoir and a friend of Prince William told The Times that he is keeping quiet "for the good of his family and the country".
He told the publication that Prince William won't retaliate because he is "dignified and incredibly loyal".
The source added: "William is a sitting duck because Harry knows he isn't going to retaliate. How many shots can you take at a sitting duck?"
"It's cruel, cowardly and so sad for William to keep taking the punches. He's keeping quiet for the good of his family and the country."
