Prince Harry denies biographer's claim of 2013 tussle with Prince Andrew over Meghan Markle
Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has responded to a new biography on Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. The book claims Prince Harry and Prince Andrew had an argument that escalated to a physical altercation in 2013. Prince Andrew allegedly told Harry that his marriage to Meghan Markle would 'not last more than a month.' Prince Harry has denied claims made in a new book that he physically fought with Prince Andrew in 2013. The book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, by historian Andrew Lownie, is about Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. It 'exposes the secrets and scandals behind their extravagant lives and troubled marriage,' according to an Amazon summary. An excerpt from the book, published in the Daily Mail, claims the princes argued and then had a physical altercation. 'Punches were thrown over something Andrew said behind Harry's back,' Lownie wrote. 'Harry told [his uncle] he was a coward not to say it to his face. Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up,' the author continued. Steve Parsons -Prince Andrew allegedly told Harry that his marriage to Meghan Markle would 'not last more than a month.' The Duke of York allegedly 'accused Meghan of being an opportunist and thought she was too old for Harry, adding that his nephew was making the biggest mistake ever.' According to The Guardian, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement on Saturday: 'I can confirm Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make the comments he is alleged to have made about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry.' The royal couple have also sent a legal letter to the Daily Mail over the publication of the excerpt, for its 'gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks.'
