Prince Harry's memoir Spare reportedly reveals the moment he learned of his mother's death - and claims King Charles "did not hug" him.
In an emotional leaked excerpt from the book, it is claimed that Harry's father sat on the end of his bed to reveal the tragic news that Princess Diana had been killed following a car crash in Paris.
However, the book reportedly says that Charles did not physically comfort his son and that Harry says he "felt like a politician" as he later met grieving Brits.
Harry was at the royals' Balmoral estate with his father and brother Prince William when they were given the life-changing news about their mother.
An excerpt from the Spanish version of Spare, which accidentally went on sale in Spain has been obtained by The Sun.
It claims that the book says Charles bid William and Harry goodnight and told them to be good before they snuck out to meet the Queen's piper and play with his bagpipes.
Later that night, the book reportedly says Charles delivered the news to Harry about his mother and said "my dear son, mum has had a car accident".
Meanwhile another extract from the book was leaked by the Guardian - and in it, Harry claims he was physically attacked by his brother Prince William in a row.
Harry wrote: "William called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.
"I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
Harry claimed William had come to his cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace to discuss "the whole rolling catastrophe” of their relationship and struggles with the press, but was already “piping hot” when he entered.
William went on to call Meghan "difficult”, "rude” and "abrasive”, claims Harry - before allegedly saying he was trying to help and Harry replying: "Are you serious? Help me? Sorry – is that what you call this? Helping me?”
The duke said the comment further infuriated William who reportedly swore while stepping toward him - prompting Harry to move to the kitchen.
Harry writes that he gave his brother a glass of water and said: "Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this.”
He then claimed William called him another name before he "came at me” with it all happening "very fast” before the alleged physical confrontation.
The duke writes that William urged him to hit back, referencing fights they had as children, but that he refused and William left before returning and apologising.
Harry writes that William told him he did not need to tell "Meg” about this and added: "I didn’t attack you, Harold.”
The duke says he did not tell Meghan straight away but did ring his therapist, and later admitted to his wife what happened when she saw the "scrapes and bruises”.
Other revelations from the book include how the brothers' nicknames are Willy and Harold and how their father pleaded after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral: "Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.”
Meanwhile, US website Page Six said sources reveals how Harry puts some of the blame for his Nazi uniform scandal on William and Kate.
He tells how the 20-year-old phoned the couple to ask them whether he should chose a pilot’s uniform or a Nazi one for the fancy dress party and William and Kate said the latter, and both howled with laughter when he and tried it on for them.
Harry, then 20, sparked outrage and was widely condemned when a photograph of him in the uniform complete with swastika ended up on the front page of a newspaper.
He admitted in his Netflix tell-all: "It was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life.”
Amid the claims, ITV released a new trailer for Tom Bradby’s interview with the Duke, which will be broadcast on Sunday night.
Bradby challenges Harry on "invading the privacy of your most nearest and dearest without permission”.
Harry replies: "That would be the accusation from people that don’t understand or don’t want to believe that my family have been briefing the press.”
The duke is also seen saying: "I don’t know how staying silent is ever going to make things better.”
ITV News at Ten presenter Bradby – a friend of Harry’s – says: “Wouldn’t your brother say to you, ‘Harry, how could you do this to me after everything? After everything we went through?’ Wouldn’t that be what he would say?”
Harry replies: "He would probably say all sorts of different things.”
This story is based off a translated version of Prince Harry’s book Spare.
