▍原文

In his highly-anticipated autobiography, Spare, Prince Harry recounts what he says was a physical attack by his brother William.

Describing a confrontation at his London home in 2019, Harry says William called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”.

The confrontation escalated, Harry writes, until William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
