‘Honey, do you think I’m caught up with it or what?’ he said. ‘It’s the Real Housewives of Windsor.’
Hans went on to address Harry’s claims his brother William attacked him after branding his wife Meghan Markle ‘difficult’.
‘Look, who hasn’t had a fight with their brother? I mean, what’s the big deal? You know?’ he said.

‘The way Harry’s been carrying on recently, I’m tempted to tackle him to the ground as well.
‘I mean, I was tempted before all this. But you know it’s another reason for it.’
The Duke of Sussex has described in his book a stand-up row that ended with the Prince of Wales grabbing him by the collar and throwing him to the floor, shattering a dog bowl with his back. William then allegedly declared: ‘I didn’t attack you, Harold’.

In an extraordinary excerpt from his upcoming autobiography Spare, Harry recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his sibling, now the Prince of Wales, which he claims left him with visible injuries
In an extraordinary excerpt of the autobiography, leaked to the Left-wing Guardian newspaper, Harry recalls what he claims was a physical attack by his sibling, which he says left him with visible injuries, including ‘scrapes and bruises’.
The furious row allegedly broke out in the kitchen of his London home, Nottingham Cottage, in the grounds of Kensington Palace in 2019 – shortly before Megxit.
William is said to have branded Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’ and insisted he was trying to help his younger brother during a meeting about ‘the whole rolling catastrophe’ of their failing relationship and Harry’s rows with the Press.

Harry accused his brother of ‘parroting the Press narrative’ about his American wife before a screaming match ensued, ending in a physical altercation, the book claims.
He says he gave the heir to the throne a glass of water and said: ‘Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this’.
Describing what he claims happened next, and insisting he was scared, the former soldier said: ‘He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.
‘I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out’.
Harry claims that William had then urged him to fight back, saying that is what would happen when they scrapped as children.
But the duke claims he refused, claiming that William left and then returned ‘looking regretful, and apologised’.
William then ‘turned and called back: “You don’t need to tell Meg about this”.’
Harry claims he said: ‘You mean that you attacked me?’, to which William replied: ‘I didn’t attack you, Harold’.
Harry says that the first person he spoke to about it was his therapist, on the phone.
But he claims Meghan would see the cuts ‘scrapes and bruises’ on his back from the dog bowl.
He claims his wife ‘wasn’t that surprised, and wasn’t all that angry. She was terribly sad’.
The brothers, according to Harry, had met to discuss ‘the whole rolling catastrophe’ of their relationship.
But the heir to the throne arrived to Nottingham Cottage ‘piping hot’, Harry writes.
The duke had been living in the home, known as Nott Cott and situated in the grounds of Kensington Palace, at the time of the alleged incident in 2019.

When they began arguing about Meghan, Harry claims William was not being rational, leading to a shouting match.
Harry said he told his brother he was unable to understand why he was not happy with being ‘the spare’, accusing his brother of acting like an heir. William told him he was trying to help him.
Harry said: ‘Are you serious? Help me? Sorry – is that what you call this? Helping me?’
It was that comment, according to Harry, which infuriated William, causing him to swear while stepping towards him.
The extract has been published by the Guardian. It is not known how the newspaper obtained an early copy of the book, given that the publisher Penguin Random House has gone to great lengths to prevent leaks.
