Prince William wants to “punch Prince Harry’s lights out” after the Duke of Sussex made a series of explosive claims in his tell-all memoir Spare, Talk TV’s Piers Morgan has claimed.

His comments come as the brothers are set to reunite at King Charles’s Coronation tomorrow.

It has been reported that the event’s organisers have carefully orchestrated the seating arrangement to minimise the chances of an awkward encounter between the brothers.

The brothers’ relationship has become strained in recent years but the release of Harry’s tell-all memoir Spare in January added further fuel to the fire.

Now, as the estranged siblings reunite for their father’s historic crowning on May 6, one royal commentator is not expecting to see much brotherly love on display.

“I don’t think Prince William will go anywhere near him. I think he’s incandescent with rage about it,” Piers Morgan claimed.

The popular host continued: “He’s done a few forced things with Harry in the last three years but all of them were very awkward to watch,” he told Sky News host Erin Molan.

“But I know for a fact from friends of mine who are very much plugged into the royals that William just wants to punch his lights out.”

Why so tense?

There are many factors that are thought to be behind William and Harry’s rancorous relationship but there’s a growing consensus that things went from bad to worse when Meghan Markle arrived on the scene.

One interpretation is that Meghan struggled to find her place within the Royal Family, which gave expression to deep-seated feelings Harry had long harboured about the institution.

William and his wife Kate, Princess of Wales, had understood their place within the royal fold while Harry and Meghan increasingly found themselves at odds with the institution, which in turn led to the breakdown of the brothers’ relationship, royal author Tom Quinn told Express.co.uk.

Others have suggested that Meghan’s behaviour during her time as an active royal precipitated a breakdown in relations between the brothers.

“William split with Harry because he did not feel Meghan was treating her staff well,” royal historian Robert Lacey claimed in an interview with Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“Nothing to do with race … she was accused of mistreating her staff, that’s not the way royal people are supposed to behave,” he said.

The historian was referencing the now-infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, where Meghan alleged that there were “conversations” about the colour of Prince Archie’s skin colour before his birth.

The royal historian continued: “I have spoken to people who saw these members of staff weeping, crying … who felt they had been belittled by Meghan.

“Now Meghan denies this, but that’s the issue.”

Meghan has vehemently denied the bullying allegations made against her, with a spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex branding them “harmful misinformation”.

The Palace completed its internal review of HR practices last year but stated it would not reveal its findings.

Harry set alight his feud with William when he released his tell-all memoir, Spare, in January.

In his autobiography, Harry claims his brother physically attacked him as their relationship frayed over the Duke’s marriage to Meghan Markle.

Recounting a tense exchange at his London home in 2019, Harry says William called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”, which Harry calls a “parrot[ing of] the press narrative” about his American wife.

The confrontation then turned physical, Harry writes, when William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
