ヘンリー英王子、兄に「襲われた」 今月発売の自伝で

【ニューヨークAFP=時事】英国のヘンリー王子(38)が今月発売予定の自伝で、2019年に兄のウィリアム皇太子(40)と口論になり「襲われた」と主張していると、英紙ガーディアンが4日、報じた。(写真はエリザベス英女王のひつぎの後ろを歩くウィリアム皇太子とヘンリー王子)
 ガーディアンによると、ヘンリー王子は自伝「スペア(原題)」で、ロンドンの自宅の台所で兄と口論になった時に起こった出来事だと書いている。
 それによると、ウィリアム皇太子はヘンリー王子の妻メーガン妃(41)のことを、「気難しく」「礼儀知らず」で「不愉快な」人間だと言い放ち、ヘンリー王子を床に押し倒した。その間も口論は続いたという。
 「(兄は)私の襟元をつかみ、ネックレスを引きちぎり、床に押し倒した。私は犬の餌皿の上に倒れ、皿は背中の下で割れた。この破片で傷を負った」との記述も抜粋されている。
 ガーディアンの引用によると、ヘンリー王子は兄に帰るよう促した。「後悔」しているように見え、「謝罪した」という。
 ウィリアム皇太子は振り返り、「このことはメグ(メーガン妃)に言う必要はない」と言ったと書かれている。
 「襲ってきたことを?」と聞き返すと、「襲ってない、ハロルド(ヘンリー王子の愛称)」と返事をしたという。【翻訳編集AFPBBNews】

Prince Harry accuses brother William of 2019 physical attack-- report


Britain's Prince Harry recounts in his new book how he was physically attacked by his older brother Prince William during an argument in 2019, the Guardian reported Wednesday.
According to the newspaper, the story of the incident appears in Harry's new memoir Spare, which is due to be released later this month amid an ongoing row within the British royal family.
Harry, 38, writes that during a disagreement in the kitchen of his London home, William called his wife Meghan Markle difficult, rude and abrasive, before tackling him to the ground as the pair continued to argue, the Guardian said.
He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog?s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me, the Guardian quotes Harry's book as saying.
Harry then told his older brother to leave. William looked regretful, and apologized, Harry recalled, according to the newspaper.
The daily quoted the exchange between the two princes from the book: William turned and called back: 'You don?t need to tell Meg about this.'
'You mean that you attacked me?'
'I didn?t attack you, Harold,' William responded, seeming to use a nickname for Harry.
The latest reveal about the brothers' tumultuous relationship comes as their father King Charles prepares for his coronation in May following the September death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II at age 96.
Harry and Meghan, 41, lifted the lid on their experiences in the British royal family in a Netflix docuseries last month about the reasons behind their stunning 2020 departure for North America.
In it, they blamed much of their unhappiness on racist media reports and tabloid harassment, some of which they claim the family instigated.
Their move to California, Meghan's home state, has made the two unpopular in Britain, where they are often portrayed by the media as selfish.
In excerpts of a television interview to ITV in the UK and CBS in the United States out this week ahead of the book release, Harry said he wants a family, not an institution.
I would like to get my father back. I would like to get my brother back, Harry said.
