Prince Harry says he never punched his problematic uncle Prince Andrew, nor did the latter make insulting remarks about Meghan Markle, despite claims being made in a new book.

A war of words erupted Saturday over shocking claims that Prince Harry punched Prince Andrew so hard he left him with a bloody nose and that Andrew called Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, an “opportunist.”

Prince Harry has denied allegations he gave his uncle Prince Andrew a bloody nose during an argument in which “punches were thrown”. A new book on the Duke of York called ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York’ claims the two got into a physical altercation during a family gathering in 2013 over “something Andrew said behind Harry’s back”.
