Prince Harry denies report about a bloody brawl with Prince Andrew over Meghan Markle comments
Prince Harry has staunchly denied ever getting into a heated fight with Prince Andrew over comments his uncle allegedly made about his wife, Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex reportedly left Andrew with a 'bloody nose' following a 'heated argument' more than a decade ago, according to an excerpt from a new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York , according to the Daily Mail . In the tome, author Andrew Lownie alleged that Andrew called the Suits star an 'opportunist,' all 'behind Harry's back,' prompting Harry to lose it on the Duke of York.

The excerpt even went further to claim that 'punches were thrown' and that Andrew emerged from the fight with blood dripping from his nose. However, the Invictus Games founder's rep denied the rowdy row happened. 'I can confirm Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make the comments he is alleged to have made about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry,' the spokesperson told the New York Post . While much of Harry's feuding with the Royal Family has been limited to his father King Charles and brother Prince William, it appears much of the family members have chosen to shut out the Sussexes, who wed in 2018 before moving to Montecito, California, two years later. That said, Harry has been eager to try to patch things up with his estranged family, in an attempt to avoid conflicts with Harry and Meghan's events and Royal Family engagements, according to the Mail . 'Harry has shifted into a new way of thinking. The tone is now all about 'deconflicting' with his family,' a source told the outlet. 'Before that meeting between their aides in London, conflicts of interest or clashes of publicity were relished and even perhaps encouraged by the Sussexes.' In a new move being touted as a 'significant gesture,' Harry's team drew up a 'grid' of the Sussexes' activities to share with Buckingham Palace. The olive branch has reportedly also been extended to the Prince and Princess of Wales, despite years of no communication. 'Harry still doesn't like being controlled by the Royal machinery, and that won't change,' the insider said. 'However, if the Royal Family have full sight of his movements they can at least plan accordingly.'
