Long before Prince Harry<\/a> aired his issues with the monarchy in his own memoir, things got physical, literally-with another royal relative. According to a new book, The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Harry and Prince Andrew<\/a> clashed during a family gathering in 2013, and the confrontation ended with Andrew nursing a bloody nose.<\/p>\n

Author Andrew Lownie details a rocky dynamic between the Duke of York and his nephews, particularly William <\/a>and Harry. Tensions reportedly erupted after Andrew made disparaging remarks about Harry behind his back, triggering a full-blown argument where \u201cpunches were thrown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing unnamed sources, The Telegraph reported that Harry \u201cgot the better of Andrew by all accounts.\u201d The scuffle was eventually broken up, but not before Andrew took a hit to the face.<\/p>\n

Harsh words and royal resentment<\/p>\n

The bad blood did not stop with the punch. The book alleges that Andrew told Harry his marriage to Meghan Markle wouldn\u2019t \u201clast more than a month,\u201d and even accused him of going \u201cbonkers\u201d and failing to do \u201cany due diligence into her past\u201d before marrying her in 2018.<\/p>\n

After that incident, Harry reportedly told Prince William that \u201che hated Andrew.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were already years of simmering tension, according to Lownie, who also wrote that Andrew was known to be openly rude to Kate Middleton. The Duke of York\u2019s behavior, both public and private, has long frustrated other royals-especially William.<\/p>\n

\u201cWilliam has long worked behind the scenes to evict his uncle from Royal Lodge, the home he occupies in Windsor Great Park. He thinks Andrew is abusing the property and his privilege there,\u201d Lownie claimed.<\/p>\n

Eviction drama brewing<\/p>\n

Andrew\u2019s grip on the sprawling 30-room Royal Lodge has been shaky ever since King Charles reportedly cut off his \u00a31 million yearly allowance. The financial pressure put Andrew\u2019s living arrangements under scrutiny-and gave William more leverage in his alleged efforts to push him out.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Harry\u2019s been accused of throwing hands. In Spare, he revealed that Prince William physically shoved him during a heated 2019 argument about Meghan. That fight, according to Harry, ended with him on the floor at Kensington Palace.<\/p>\n

The palace hasn\u2019t commented on any of the new claims, and it\u2019s unlikely they will. But if true, this latest chapter in royal dysfunction shows the cracks behind the crown run deep-and have for longer than most knew.<\/p>\n
