Prince Harry finally speaks out on Prince Andrew physical fight rumour
Prince Andrew stepped back from public life after his disastrous Newsnight interview in 2019, which centred on his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by Andrew Lowni, and a Daily Mail article, allege that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew fell out at a family gathering after Andrew described Meghan as an 'opportunist' and said Harry's relationship with her would not last. In response, "punches were thrown" reportedly leaving Andrew with a bloody nose.
Now, a spokesperson for Prince Harry has stepped in to clear up – and firmly deny – this particular round of rumours.
According to PEOPLE, Harry's rep said, "I can confirm neither of those things are true. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry."
They added, "Such are the gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks made in the Daily Mail's story, I can confirm a legal letter from Prince Harry's counsel has been sent to the Mail."

Blake Lively accuses Justin Baldoni of leaking details of her deposition, including what she wore, to create ‘a media circus'
Blake Livey has accused Justin Baldoni of 'creating a media circus' by leaking details from her closed-door deposition last week in their ongoing legal saga. Lively, 37, was questioned under oath by the attorneys of her 'It Ends With Us' co-star-turned-rival on Thursday — the details of which were 'immediately' leaked, according to a letter her lawyers filed Monday. 3 Blake Lively claimed Justin Baldoni leaked details from inside his lawyers' deposition of her. REUTERS The deposition started at 10:13 a.m. that morning — and by 10:15 a.m. TMZ published its story revealing Baldoni attended the grilling of the 'Gossip Girl' actress, Lively's lawyers claimed. 3 Lively and Baldoni have been locked in a bitter legal dispute for months since she accused him of sexually harassing her on the set of 'It Ends With Us.' Christopher Peterson / 'Consistent with their goal of creating a media circus around Ms. Lively's deposition, it also appears that the Wayfarer Defendants immediately leaked details from the deposition to the tabloid media,' Lively said of Baldoni's side, which includes the production company of 'It Ends With Us,' Wayfarer Studios LLC. The leaks continued the next day, including 'in detail Ms. Lively's attire for the deposition' and who accompanied her to the meeting, Lively's lawyers claimed. This was to 'misleadingly' create a narrative that Lively 'needed a large contingent of people with her to testify' while suggesting Baldoni was only accompanied by one lawyer, she alleged. The Daily Mail published a story the day after noting Lively was with her older half sister Robyn and her 'Deadpool' actor husband Ryan Reynolds when she walked into the building wearing black jeans and jacket and a light blue cardigan. The two weren't in the room with her, however, when she was under oath during the day-long session that her eight lawyers also attended, the outlet reported. 'The reality is' Baldoni and the other defendants had an army of 13 lawyers there with them, the Manhattan federal court papers claimed. 3 Baldoni's side told the media that he was present for her questioning and other details from the day, Lively's lawyers claimed. ©Sony Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Depositions often take place at the law firms of the parties involved and are not open to the public — unlike most court proceedings. While Baldoni asked that the deposition take place at his lawyers' office, Lively won a protective order allowing her to be questioned at a location of her choosing. She was questioned at her attorneys' office on 7th Avenue, the Daily Mail reported. Lively's lawyers claim that a day after the deposition, Baldoni's side posted the 292-page rough draft version of the transcript under seal for a week. Lively's team will have to file a motion to keep it under seal indefinitely. Baldoni's lawyers 'hope to make Ms. Lively defend the continued sealing of the transcript so they can advance a false narrative that Ms. Lively is afraid of her deposition testimony becoming public, which is entirely untrue and deeply harmful.' Deposition transcripts normally remain under seal unless arguments are made for them to be unsealed for legal reasons. Portions of deposition transcripts can also come out during trials. Lively's lawyers argued that the transcript should be erased from the record for now. Lively launched a $250 million lawsuit against Baldoni and others claiming he sexually harassed her on the set of the 2024 movie, which he directed and co-starred in. She alleged that things got so bad during filming that there was a tense sit-down where she and Reynolds demanded he refrain from showing her nude videos and photos of women and that he stop talking to Lively about his prior addiction to porn and his sexual conquests. Lively claimed that Baldoni's team then went on a smear campaign about her which hurt her businesses and her family, the suit alleged. Baldoni — who was on the TV show 'Jane the Virgin' — then countersued for $400 million for extortion and defamation against Lively and Reynolds. Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Liman dismissed Baldoni's claims in June. Lawyers on both sides didn't immediately return requests for comment Monday afternoon.

William & Kate Reportedly Looking into Moving After Rumors Harry & Meghan Are Relocating Back to the UK
Prince William and Kate Middleton may be on the move again three years after relocating from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate. According to The Daily Mail, William and Kate—along with their three kids: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are looking to move into the 'magnificent gothic revival mansion' of Fort Belvedere, which is 'nestled in a hidden corner of Windsor Great Park' and sits on 59 acres. The 18th-century home also has a tennis court, a private outdoor swimming pool, a rose garden, a greenhouse, private stables, multiple lakes, and three cottages for the Prince and Princess of Wales' staff. The estate was previously inhabited by William's ancestor Edward VIII, who lived in the home after he abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson. More from StyleCaster Kate Middleton's Parents' Futures Revealed Amid Speculation Over What Their Titles Will Be Once She Becomes Queen Charles 'Fuming' Over William & Kate's Plans to Move After His Relationship With Harry Ended Over the Same Reason As for why William and Kate are looking to move, The Daily Mail reported that the Prince and Princess of Wales 'feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage' now that their kids are older and 'need something more substantial.' 'This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis,' a source said. According to The Daily Mail, a 'move to a more substantial property would mark a new chapter' for William and Kate, especially after spending much of Kate's cancer treatment at Adelaide Cottage in 2024. The Daily Mail also reported that Fort Belvedere is just one of several homes William and Kate are looking into, and that 'no move is imminent.' Previously, there were rumors that William and Kate were interested in moving into the Royal Lodge—the 30-room mansion where Prince Andrew lives with his ex-wife Sarah Feguson—but 'Andrew resisted pressure from King [Charles] to leave.' The Daily Mail also reported that William and Kate considered moving into a wing of Windsor Castle but the area is 'understood to no longer be viable.' Rumors of William and Kate's move also come after reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who moved to the United States in 2019 and now live in Montecito, California, were relocating back to the United Kingdom as Harry repairs his relationship with his father, King Charles. The rumors came after Grant Harrold, former royal butler to King Charles, told Study Dog that Harry is 'quite keen' for his and Meghan's children—Archie and Lilibet—to experience British schooling. 'It's very likely and completely possible,' he said.'If they have their younger education in America, I'm sure their father will be quite keen to have a bit of a British education,' he continued. 'But then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes.' A source for People, however, debunked the rumors. A source confirmed to the magazine that Harry and Meghan are happy living in and raising their family in California and have no plans to leave. That said, he could be coming back to the U.K. more often if his aides' recent meeting with Charles' staff means anything for their future relationship. 'It was a good first step,' an insider told People in July 2025. 'It is always better to be talking.'
