Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t the only celebrity at the center of a bombshell biography right now, as Prince Andrew is also making headlines thanks to some shocking new claims in a tell-all book about him and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by royal biographer Andrew Lownie explores the disgraced Duke of York’s tumultuous personal and public life, and promises to spill secrets that have not been made public before. According to Sky News, it is said to be based on interviews with “over a hundred people who have never spoken before.”

Prince Harry And Prince Andrew Reportedly Came To Blows At A Family Event, According To The Biography
Among the most jaw-dropping revelations was an alleged physical altercation between Prince Andrew and his nephew, Prince Harry, during a private family gathering back in 2013.
According to an excerpt published in the Daily Mail on Saturday, August 2nd, the pair had a heated argument which then allegedly turned into a physical fight. "Punches were thrown over something Andrew said behind Harry's back," Lownie claimed.
"Harry told [his uncle] he was a coward not to say it to his face," Lownie continued, adding: "Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up."
And this wasn't the only clash between the two, according to the book. Lownie also alleges that Prince Andrew made several derogatory comments about Meghan Markle when she and Prince Harry were dating, predicting their relationship would "not last more than a month."
He allegedly "accused Meghan of being an opportunist and thought she was too old for Harry, adding that his nephew was making the biggest mistake ever."
Adding fuel to the fire, the biography alleges that Prince Andrew called his nephew "bonkers" and suggested he hadn't done "any due diligence into her past" prior to their 2017 engagement and 2018 wedding.
Prince Harry's Team Shuts Down The Allegations
A spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan denied the allegations made in the book later on Saturday. Not only did they insist that the uncle and nephew never got into a physical fight, but they also said that Prince Andrew didn't make derogatory statements about the former Suits actress either.
"I can confirm Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make the comments he is alleged to have made about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry," the spokesperson shared.
In response to the biography's claims – and the Daily Mail's coverage – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly taken legal action. According to The Guardian, the couple has sent a legal letter to the publication, condemning what their spokesperson described as "gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks."
