‘I Would Like To Have My Brother Back,’ Harry Keens After Disclosing Fight With William

LONDON — Pity poor Prince Harry: He’ll be weeping all the way to the bank after airing his grievances Sunday against the royal family bullies who forced him and wife Meghan to escape foggy old London and flee to sunny California. Harry is expected to make multi-millions of dollars from his book “Spare,” about the trials and tribulations they endured at the hands of his father, King Charles III, and his older brother, Prince William, heir to the throne. Harry won’t be talking about the money, though, when CBS in America and ITV in Britain air interviews Sunday with the picked-upon prince errant two days before publication of his book. Already the interviews are creating a sensation here, which is no doubt great for book sales if not for the royal family. The image that Harry wants to convey is not that of a royal crybaby but of a noble gentleman in the grand tradition, defending the honor of his wife. The title “Spare” is a sardonic reference to the sad fact that, as the 38-year-old younger brother, Harry’s the “spare” in case something happens to the “heir,” 40-year-old William, both born to Princess Diana, who died in a car accident at Paris after she’d divorced their father, now King Charles III. By now, Harry is way down on the spare list, given William’s children.“WILLS HIT ME TO FLOOR,” the headline screams in all capital letters on the front of the tabloid Sun. “Harry tells of Meghan row,” the subhead reads. The tiff between Harry and Wills (yes, that’s a plural), as Prince William is affectionately known around Buckingham Palace, is said to have broken out, according to the London Sun’s report of these “sensational allegations,” after William described Meghan as “rude” and “difficult.” Harry, the London Sun says, recounts in his memoir the fracas in which William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace and knocked me to the floor” after Harry accused him of just repeating “the narrative” about him in the British press. “When Wills insisted he was trying to help,” the Sun said, Harry asked, “Are you serious?” Turning ever more sarcastic, Harry repeated, “Help me? Sorry — is that what you call this? Helping me?” The quarrel reportedly escalated quickly. Harry “landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me.” He said, “I lay there for a moment dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.” Still, according to other accounts, Harry wants to get back into the good graces of both his father and brother. “I would like to get my father back,” he said in a preview of the ITV interview. “I would like to have my brother back.”
