An exchange of words erupted on Saturday after shocking claims surfaced alleging that Prince Harry once punched Prince Andrew so hard it left him with a bloody nose. The confrontation reportedly originated from Andrew allegedly calling Meghan Markle an \u201copportunist.\u201d<\/p>\n
These explosive allegations come from Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, a new book by historian Andrew Lownie, who is known for his investigative royal biographies.<\/p>\n

SUSSEX TEAM DISMISSES CLAIMS <\/strong><\/p>\n Initially responding with a \u201cno comment\u201d to The Daily Beast, Prince Harry\u2019s representatives later issued a firm denial. \u201cI can confirm 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,\u201d a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n Despite the denial, Lownie rechecked on his claims, stating, \u201cI stand by my source, who has proved reliable and was close to Andrew. They had no reason to make this up and gave me lots of detail.\u201d<\/p>\n Lownie also admitted he did not reach out to the Sussex team for comment prior to publication, explaining that his publishers didn\u2019t require it.<\/p>\n CLAIMS DEEPEN ONGOING ROYAL RIFT<\/strong> <\/p>\n The claims add to the already fractious relationship between Prince Harry and the British press, especially the Daily Mail, where the story first ran. Prince Harry is currently involved in a lawsuit against the publication, accusing it of unlawful information gathering.<\/p>\n Further details from the book delve into Prince Andrew\u2019s controversial past, with disturbing new allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein. According to Lownie, Epstein once said Andrew was \u201cmore obsessed with women than me.\u201d Other sources cited in the book claim Andrew has slept with over 1,000 women and describe his \u201cserial sex addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal patronages in 2022 following sexual abuse allegations by Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of abusing her when she was 17. Though the case was settled out of court, it led to his public fall from grace.<\/p>\n – Ends<\/p>\n Published By: <\/p>\n Rivanshi Rakhrai<\/p>\n Published On: <\/p>\n Aug 3, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An exchange of words erupted on Saturday after shocking claims surfaced alleging that Prince Harry once punched Prince…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[114024,7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,114266,2205,447,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-313360","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-andrew-lownie","9":"tag-british-royal-family","10":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","11":"tag-duke-of-sussex","12":"tag-harry","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-meghan-remarks","16":"tag-prince-andrew","17":"tag-prince-harry","18":"tag-royal-families","19":"tag-royal-family","20":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114962344510501709","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
