Prince Harry has rejected an author's claims that "punches were thrown" between him and Prince Andrew years before he stepped back from royal duties. The story surfaced in writer Andrew Lownie's new book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.

A spokesperson for Prince Harry has made a statement denying several claims about him and Prince Andrew made in a new biography. In the book, the author claims that Andrew and Harry had a physical altercation in 2013. This follows Harry's legal case against NGN (News Group Newspapers) which reached a settlement earlier this year.

Written by Andrew Lownie, the book claims that the two clashed during a family gathering in 2013 over "something Andrew said behind Harry's back".
