Prince Harry is obviously unaware of the first rule of fight club.
The Duke of Sussex is providing additional information about being assaulted by his brother, Prince William, stating that he observed a “red mist” of rage on the face of the heir apparent during the heated altercation.
In a new preview for his interview with ITV News, which will air on Sunday, Harry discusses the altercation in which he alleges William knocked him to the ground, despite his gallant refusal to fight back.
It marked the culmination of a period of escalating friction between the hitherto close brothers, which Harry attributes to William’s antipathy against Meghan Markle.
“What was different here was this level of frustration,” he reportedly stated of William as he burst into Nottingham Cottage, the Kensington Palace residence where Harry was living at the time, months before Brexit.
HArry provided additional information regarding the alleged attack during an interview with ITV News that aired in its entirety on Sunday.
Harry told Tom Bradby of ITV News, “I talk about the red mist I had for so many years, and I saw this red mist in him.”
“He wanted me to hit him back, but I chose not to,” valiantly explained Harry.
The distant duke also told the British channel that he referred to his brother as his “archenemy” because “we’ve always had this strange rivalry.
Harry implies that he and his brother have been rivals, making the heir his “archenemy.”
via “I believe it plays into — or is played by — ‘heir, spare,’” he remarked, referring to the remark their father, King Charles III, allegedly made the moment he was born.
However, in a separate interview with “Good Morning America,” he stated that their late mother, Princess Diana, would have been heartbroken by their public feud.
“I believe she would be… “I believe she would be sad,” he conceded.
Harry stated that their mother, the late Princess Diana, would be “saddened” by the squabbling.

Nonetheless, she would agree with him that the brothers “need to go through certain things in order to heal their relationship.”
He added that his departure from the family brought him closer to his mother, who famously divorced the present king amid harsh public charges of infidelity on both sides.
“I have felt my mother’s presence more in the last two years than in the previous 30,” Harry told ABC News of the time since he left the UK and royal life.
Nonetheless, his dispute with the rest of his family has made him sense his mother’s presence more strongly than ever, he stated.
Numerous sit-down interviews, his six-part Netflix docuseries, and now his memoir, “Spare,” which was intended to be under wraps until Tuesday but was accidently released in Spain, provided Harry with ample opportunity to defend his unending attacks on his family.
ITV’s Bradby reminded Harry that he had “railed against privacy invasions his entire life, but… here you are invading the privacy of your closest loved ones without their consent.”
Harry claims he feels justified in disclosing so much about his family, despite his repeated complaints about privacy violations.

Harry responded, “That would be the accusation from those who do not comprehend or refuse to believe that my family has briefed the media.”
Still, despite it all, Harry emphasized that he still believes in the monarchy.
But asked if he would be playing a part in it, he conceded: “I don’t know.”
