Prince Harry has claimed a high stakes meeting with brother Prince William and Father Prince Charles was “like going into battle”. The Duke of Sussex outlines the showdown in his new book, Spare, which Express.co.uk has obtained a copy of in Spanish after the book went on sale early there.

He writes: “Finally I saw them. Shoulder to shoulder, advanced towards me briskly, they looked very serious, almost threatening.”

Describing his feelings, the former Royal Marine adds: “Apart from fear I find a type of hyperconnectivity and an enormous and intense vulnerability that I had experienced at other decisive moments of my life.

“Like when I walked behind my mother’s coffin. Or entered battle for the first time.”

Harry, who refers to his brother as “Willy” and “Daddy”, descibes an awkward conversation about the weather and sport, as well as touching on the death of his grandfather, Prince Phillip, last year, before they “got to the point”, during which he admits he was “not very concise” due to his nerves.

Battling his anxiety, Harry describes how he attempted to stop their discussion becoming heated, but to little avail.

He explains: “My father and Willy had come looking for a fight.

Within minutes the brothers were hurling angry insults at each other, as had happened previously in recent months, Harry explains.

He adds: “Things got so heated my father raised his hands.

“’Enough’ he said looking at our angry faces, “Please boys, don’t turn this my last years into a torment.”

Harry describes his father as sounding “hoarse, fragile” adding that it was “like the voice of an old man”.
