The Duke of Sussex’s representative has refuted claims made in a brand-new, unauthorised biography about Prince Andrew that claim the royals have a complicated relationship.
The Duke of Sussex has categorically denied claims that he was involved in a physical altercation with Prince Andrew, dismissing the shocking allegations made in a new biography about the scandal-hit Royal.
Following the release of the book titled Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which insinuates that the brothers-in-law had a fight at a family gathering in 2013, a spokesperson for Prince Harry responded to PEOPLE, stating: “I can confirm neither of those things are true. 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,”.
The book by Lownie, portions of which were featured in the Daily Mail, portrays Prince Andrew as a divisive character within the Royal family.
It delves into his alleged connections with Jeffrey Epstein and suggests that his relationships with nephews Prince Harry and Prince William have become increasingly tense over the years.
The book alleges that Prince William has privately advocated for Andrew’s eviction from Royal Lodge, the Windsor estate where the Duke of York currently resides with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, reports the Mirror US.
According to the biography, William has “long harbored” disdain for both Ferguson and Andrew, who he claims is unsure of the royal household’s future plans.
The allegations come as a result of ongoing public scrutiny and tensions within the Royal family, particularly following Harry and Meghan’s bombastic exit from senior status in California in 2020.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are now based in Montecito, are busy raising Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, while supporting charities and media endeavors.
Despite the stormy waters with his kin, Harry hasn’t given up on mending fences, telling the BBC in May: “I would love reconciliation with my family,” and adding, “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”
On the other side of the pond, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were captured in a seldom-seen family moment along the sunny shores of California.
TMZ released snaps on August 1 showing the Sussexes unwinding at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria, where they watched their eldest, Prince Archie, catch some waves during a surf lesson.
In a crisp white shirt with frayed denim shorts and a fashionable straw hat accented by large black shades, Meghan epitomized beach chic.
