Prince Harry Denies Claims He Punched Prince Andrew at Royal Gathering
is setting the record straight.
After a new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, alleged that Harry and got into a physical altercation at a 2013 family gathering after Andrew made a remark about behind Harry's back, the Duke of Sussex denied the claims.
'I can confirm neither of those things are true,' a spokesperson for Harry told People in an August 2 statement. '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.'
According to an excerpt of Andrew Lowni's book—a joint biography of Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, which portrays him as a largely controversial figure—published in the Daily Mail, the 'heated argument' stemmed from 'something Andrew said behind Harry's back.'
Within moments, the biography alleged that 'punches were thrown,' leaving Andrew with a bloody nose. The author also went on to claim that Andrew privately suggested to Harry that his relationship with Meghan wouldn't last because she was, as he put it, an 'opportunist.'

While Harry denied that he and Andrew ever got into a physical fight, the royal family has had its fair share of rifts since he and Meghan—who share kids , 6, and , 4—decided to distance themselves from the royal family in 2020 and move to Montecito, Calif.
"After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution," the couple wrote on Instagram in January 2020. "We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen."
Tensions only rose when the 40-year-old recently told the BBC that his dad refused to talk to them amid their legal battle with the U.K. government to restore security protection.
'I would love reconciliation with my family,' he told the outlet in May. 'There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. I don't know how much time my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.'

7 top new on Netflix shows and movies to watch this week — 'My Oxford Year,' 'Perfect Match' and more
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. This week brings a new month and with it, a ton of new Netflix shows and movies. To make things easier for you, I've combed through the list and found a few shows and movies on the streaming service that are a must-watch. First up, "My Oxford Year," which drops on Aug. 1. This rom-com has been hotly anticipated by a few of the staff here at Tom's Guide, and it certainly looks like a potential hit for the streaming service. Speaking of Netflix hits, "Perfect Match" returns for season 3, reuniting all the hottest singles from the Netflix Reality Universe for a dating reality show. But this time, there's a twist, and it involves "Love Island." Finally, it's worth mentioning that "The Sandman" season 2 comes to an end this week with a bonus episode series finale. For more to watch, read on for my top picks, a full list of everything new on Netflix this week and the scoop on what's leaving Netflix this week. If you need more, check out our guide to everything new to Netflix in July or take a look at what's coming in August. New on Netflix this week: Top picks 'My Oxford Year' "My Oxford Year" is based on a popular novel of the same name, so it's no shock that this is expected to be a big hit. This rom-com flick stars Sofia Carson as Anna De La Vega, an American freshly arrived at Oxford University. But quickly into her year abroad, she meets Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), and they begin a fun fling. But Anna plans on returning to New York and Jamie doesn't plan on going with her. As that fateful day of departure approaches, things start to get messy for this budding romance. Senior Writer Alix Blackburn thinks this movie "looks like pure comfort wrapped in charm" and could be one of the must-watch movies of the summer. So don't miss "My Oxford Summer" this week. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 1 'Perfect Match' season 3 If Netflix does one thing well, it's pumping out a bunch of reality shows with attractive singles. One of those shows is "Perfect Match," which puts the top singles from the Netflix Reality Universe into a single dating show, with "Love Is Blind" host Nick Lachey in charge. These seasoned Netflix reality vets now must try to see if they're a perfect match — or if they can set others up on the perfect date. But in season 3, they'll also be competing with former contestants from non-Netflix shows like "The Bachelor and "Love Island." Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 1 'The Sandman' series finale "The Sandman" season 2 did not disappoint. I was worried that the season would have too little time to cover too many storylines, but I can confidently say that this ultimately wasn't the issue. But even though the show's primary storyline has come to an end, our time with Lord Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) isn't over just yet. This week brings a final special episode, "Death: The High Cost of Living," which centers around Morpheus' sister Death, though I'll be shocked if Dream doesn't make a final appearance. Watch on Netflix starting July 31 'Dusty Slay: Wet Heat' I only recently became familiar with Dusty Slay, the Nashville comedian who has become one of the biggest up-and-coming names in comedy. Slay's comedy revolves around the mundane aspects of everyday life, and "Dusty Slay: Wet Heat" looks set to be no different. Don't come expecting jokes about politics — come expecting jokes about checking out of hotels and hot, humid Southern summers. Watch it now on Netflix 'Trainwreck: Storm Area 51' Area 51 is where (allegedly) the U.S. government keeps aliens hidden from the rest of the world. It's a top-secret site. So trying to invade it would have to be one of the dumbest ideas anyone could possibly think of ... right? Well, someone did think of it, and they made a joke Facebook event about storming the heavily-guarded military base to free the aliens. Which, of course, the U.S. government didn't love, threatening to shoot anyone who attempted such a stupendously stupid idea. Want to see what a bad idea this was for yourself? Check out "Trainwreck: Storm Area 51" and enjoy. Watch it now on Netflix 'WWE: Unreal' "WWE Raw" has become one of the biggest shows on Netflix, running live on Monday nights. Now, wrestling fans will have another Netflix show to watch. "WWE Unreal" takes you behind the scenes on all the literal effort, blood, sweat and tears that go into some of the biggest storylines since the wrestling outfit moved to Netflix. Watch it now on Netflix 'Leanne' "Leanne" stars Leanne Morgan as Leanne, a newly single woman after her husband shockingly leaves her after 33 years of marriage. This forces her to start anew and to do that, she's going to need help. Enter Carol (Kristen Johnston), Leanne's ride-or-die sister who's going to make sure Leanne gets back on the horse (or a hot date) rather than wallowing at home. From "The Big Bang Theory" creator Chuck Lorre, "Leanne" is going to be a show that sitcom fans won't want to miss. Watch on Netflix starting July 31 Everything new on Netflix: July 28-Aug. 3 JULY 28 "The Lazarus Project" seasons 1-2 JULY 29 "Dusty Slay: Wet Heat" (Netflix comedy special) In this hour-long comedy special filmed at the Walker Theatre in Chattanooga, TN, Slay's signature working-class comedy takes center stage. "Trainwreck: Storm Area 51" (GB) (Netflix documentary) When 20-year old Matty Roberts creates a Facebook event inviting people to storm the classified Air Force facility Area 51 in the Nevada desert, the post quickly goes viral, with hundreds and then thousands saying they'll join the event that stated 'They can't stop all of us'. "WWE: Unreal"(Netflix sports series) For the first time ever, step into the WWE writer's room and outside the ring with your favorite WWE Superstars, where the drama is just as intense offstage as it is under the spotlight. JULY 30 "Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes" (Netflix documentary) From Emmy-winning and Academy Award nominated director Joe Berlinger, this chilling new chapter of Conversations with a Killer delves into one of the most infamous cases in American history: the 44-caliber killer, David Berkowitz.

Netflix's new romantic drama movie feels like a familiar sweet escape with just the right charm — and you can stream it now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In an era where Netflix keeps churning out serious thriller flicks, I've been craving something a little sweeter. As someone who finds comfort in romance movies, I was naturally drawn to 'My Oxford Year.' Earlier this year, we got a similarly romantic movie in 'The Life List,' starring Sofia Carson who's basically Netflix's reigning queen of love stories. This time, she heads to Oxford to study Victorian poetry and ends up falling for her charming tutor, played by 'Bridgerton' star Corey Mylchreest. It's an intriguing premise, and one that definitely scratches the itch for a comfort watch this summer. But as much as I wanted to fall in love with 'My Oxford Year' and make it part of my annual romance rewatch tradition, my heart ended up a little broken, and I'm not entirely sure that was the movie's intention… 'My Oxford Year' definitely promises a cheesy, trope-filled romance, and to a certain extent, it succeeds in bringing those tropes to life. If you go in with the right expectations, you'll probably still enjoy it for what it is: a charming weekend watch that's forgettable but engaging. That said, there are a few lingering thoughts I can't shake. Here's everything to know before adding 'My Oxford Year' to your Netflix watchlist. What is 'My Oxford Year' about? 'My Oxford Year' follows Anna De La Vega (Sofia Carson), an ambitious American student who wins a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford. Determined to stay focused on her future political career, Anna's plans are thrown off course when she meets her witty and charming tutor, Jamie Davenport (Corey Mylchreest). As the two grow closer, an unexpected romance blossoms, one that challenges Anna's carefully laid ambitions and forces her to reconsider what truly matters. But Jamie harbors a secret that could change everything. Rooted in the academic beauty of Oxford, the movie is a coming-of-age story about choosing between the life you've always planned and the one that takes you by surprise. 'My Oxford Year' reads a little wrong, but still has its charm The best way I can describe 'My Oxford Year' is that you've probably seen it before in countless other romantic flicks, and there's nothing here that feels fresh. If it were playing in the background, you'd assume it was a compilation of romance movies that have worked well in the past. In a weird way, that's the part that makes 'My Oxford Year' most enjoyable. You know what to expect, there's almost a 'forbidden' aspect to the love story, and of course, the beautiful setting of historic colleges and cobblestone streets. Even in the first two minutes, we get the first trope: a woman moving away from her family to chase her dreams. She already has a list of things to do now that she's in England, like get fish and chips (there's a funny scene where she mistakes the server saying 'duck' when he actually asked if she wanted 'haddock'), visit a pub, and attend a boat race. You'll probably find a genre trope in almost every scene. So don't expect anything particularly groundbreaking here. It's another forgettable romance flick in Netflix's ever-growing library, but there's enough charm to make it enjoyable for romance fans like myself. Speaking of romance, this feels like Carson's most electric romantic pairing so far. Her character, Anna, and the charming tutor, Jamie, start off on the wrong foot when his car splashes dirty puddle water onto her. From there, their chemistry naturally grows until they can't bear to be apart. Carson and Mylchreest keep the romance engaging in that sense. But despite the butterflies, sneaky glances, and makeouts behind walls, there's a turning point in 'My Oxford Year' that completely shifts the tone, and it just doesn't work. I don't want to spoil anything. I'm sure anyone who's read Julia Whelan's book will know what I'm talking about. But there's a certain plot device thrown in to evoke emotions in the viewer that comes across more as a contrived emotional cue than a fully developed narrative element. Of course, since the movie follows the book's storyline, there's no changing how the story unfolds. But the book has the space to explore the deeper emotional impact and complexities behind these challenges in a way the movie can't quite capture in its limited runtime. In a way, I wish 'My Oxford Year' had stayed a sweet, fairytale-like romance that's just there for comfort, and that's it. But the second half of the movie gets a little convoluted, and you almost disconnect from the characters, caring less about what happens to their relationship. That's not to say the movie doesn't work at all or that you should avoid it. It has charm, thanks to Carson and Mylchreest, and exploring the different Oxford locations was enjoyable especially when the romance scenes were shot in the pouring rain (a weather we're quite used to here in England). If you lower your expectations just enough, you'll find something delightfully fun in 'My Oxford Year,' and the crackling energy between the two leads will keep the spark alive for 110 minutes. You can stream 'My Oxford Year' on Netflix now 'My Oxford Year' isn't going to surprise you or change the romance game, but it still has its moments. With Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest leading the way, there's a warmth and sincerity that pulls you in, even when the story gets a little predictable. Plus, the gorgeous Oxford setting adds a dreamy vibe that's hard to resist, making it easy to get lost in for a couple of hours. Anyone who lives on Tumblr will probably recognize the 2010s inspiration in this movie. If you're looking for something that feels familiar but still charming, this movie fits the bill. I'm sure it will end up reaching the No. 1 spot on Netflix's top 10 list within the next few days. You can stream 'My Oxford Year' on Netflix now.

Disturbing rumors surface over Hailey and Justin Bieber's reported lavish behavior: 'Why does no one question them on this?'
An outraged Reddit user estimated Hailey and Justin Bieber's carbon footprint after the pair traveled to Spain in a private jet. "Why does no one question them on this?" the OP said in the r/HaileyBaldwinSnark community. "Justin rents a Gulfstream G600, which produces ≈2 metric tons of CO2 per hour of flight. For 12-15 hours of flight, that's about 24-30 metric tons." Though the figures are just estimates, they detail the continuation of a wasteful lifestyle. A few months ago, the Biebers flew their private jet from Palm Springs to Los Angeles instead of embarking on what would've been a two-hour drive. Like the OP alluded to, planes release much more pollution than other modes of transportation. According to Our World in Data, planes have a disproportionate effect on the atmosphere with their carbon dioxide pollution. Private jets, though only a small fraction of the world's airplanes, are even worse. PBS reported that a study found that most private jets release more pollution into the air in two hours than an average person does in a year. What's more, these flights are usually unnecessary. More often than not, they're lifestyle-related, researchers told PBS — just like the Biebers' recent vacation. "Yea it's a 'brand' trip supposedly," the OP wrote, speculating that there was more to the story. "She … is saying it's a brand trip/ posting pics with rhode merch so it can all be used as a tax write off." Regardless of Bieber's reasoning, the fact remains that the carbon footprints of the world's wealthiest people are astronomical compared to those of the average person, with a billionaire contributing more pollution in 90 minutes than you will in your lifetime. "The damage is done by those with a lot of money, and the cost is borne by those with very little money," Stefan Gossling, a transportation researcher, told PBS.
