The statement read: “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.”
As well as sending the statement to the Mail, Harry and Meghan’s team also told NewsWeek: “Such are the gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks made in the Daily Mail‘s story, I can confirm a legal letter from Prince Harry’s counsel has been sent to the Mail.”
In the book, Mr Lownie wrote: “According to a source close to both men, Harry told him he was a coward not to say it to his face. Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up.”
He then added: “He openly accused Meghan of being an opportunist and thought she was too old for Harry, adding that his nephew was making the biggest mistake ever. The source said: ‘Harry later told William he hated Andrew.'”
Prince Harry later wed Meghan, who is celebrating her 44th birthday today, in May 2018.
The couple later welcomed a son named Prince Archie in 2019, before stepping down from royal duties in 2020.
Now residing in the US, the couple have since welcomed a daughter named Princess Lilibet.
