A series of sensational claims and accusations have been leaked from Prince Harry’s autobiography, Spear.
The book outlines grievances and bitterness within the royal family, such as a claim that she and Prince William urged their father not to marry Camilla.
But one of the most shocking claims from Harry, first reported by JEE News, was how his brother had physically assaulted him.
Both Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace said they would not comment.
JEE News has obtained a copy of the spare in Spain and is translating it.
JEE News obtained a copy of the book and published an excerpt early Thursday.
JEE News and others also obtained the Spanish version when it was published in Spain ahead of its official release date – which is January 10.

Among them is Harry’s claim that William and Catherine, now the Prince and Princess of Wales, laughed at him at a party dressed in a Nazi uniform.
There are also accounts of Harry’s drug use and experiences as an Army helicopter pilot in the Afghanistan conflict.
Reconciliation and compromise are not on the agenda, at least according to the leaked extract. So far Harry’s claims have a tone of unresolved grief, complaint and blame.
