Prince Harry: I saw red mist in William. He wanted to hit me

Prince Harry has spoken about seeing “the red mist” in his brother during a confrontation in which he alleged Prince William knocked him to the floor.

In a newly-released clip from ITV's forthcoming interview with the Duke of Sussex, he reveals more alleged details about the 2019 incident at his flat in Nottingham Cottage, Kensington Palace.

“He wanted me to hit him back, but I chose not to,” he tells Tom Bradby.

“What was different here was the level of frustration, and I talk about the red mist that I had for so many years, and I saw this red mist in him.”

The duke has told of the confrontation in his autobiography Spare — an extract of which was leaked by The Guardian on Thursday.

In the book, Prince Harry wrote: “[William] called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. 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. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

In other revelations, Prince Harry's book claims:

He took cocaine
The prince killed 25 people in Afghanistan
Prince Harry believes his brother is his “arch nemesis”
Prince William called Meghan, Prince Harry’s wife, “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”
The brothers call each other Willy and Harold
Prince Harry and Prince William begged their father not to marry Camilla as they feared she would be a “wicked stepmother”
Prince William and Kate encouraged him to wear the Nazi uniform
Prince Harry claims a psychic told him his mother said he was living the life “she couldn’t” but “wanted” for him
Prince Harry still wants reconciliation with his family

The short clip from the ITV interview, which is due to be aired on Sunday, also showed Harry addressing the drug use detailed in Spare.

Mr Bradby tells the duke: “There's a fair amount of drugs [in the book]. Marijuana, magic mushrooms, cocaine. I mean, that's going to surprise people.”

The duke appears to agree and says it was “important to acknowledge”.

The royal also states he wants to reconcile with his family — something which he says cannot happen without “some accountability”.

“I want reconciliation,” he says, “but, first, there needs to be some accountability”.

The duke also says: “The truth, supposedly, at the moment, has been there's only one side of the story, right? But, there's two sides to every story.”

In a separate clip released by Good Morning America, which is also airing an interview with the prince, he said the rift with his brother would make their mother Princess Diana “sad”.

It comes after Prince Harry reportedly alleged in his book his brother had called his American wife Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive” — comments which the younger brother said parroted “the press narrative” about his wife.

The Guardian, which first reported the dispute, said it was able to obtain a copy of the book, due to be published on January 10, despite strong security measures around its release.

In an earlier-released teaser of the ITV interview, Prince Harry said he was publishing his memoirs because he did not know “how staying silent is ever going to make things better”.

The full ITV interview is due to be broadcast two days before Spare's publication and, in a trailer, Mr Bradby asks: “Wouldn't your brother say to you, 'Harry, how could you do this to me after everything? After everything we went through?' Wouldn't that be what he would say?”

Prince Harry replied: “He would probably say all sorts of different things.”

Mr Bradby, a former royal correspondent and current presenter of ITV News at Ten, is a friend of the Sussexes and has previously interviewed them for a documentary about their 2019 Africa tour.

He told the duke: “Some people will say you've railed against invasions of your privacy all your life but the accusation will be here are you invading the privacy of your most nearest and dearest without permission, that will be the accusation.”

Prince Harry answered: “That will be the accusation from people that don't understand or don't want to believe that my family have been briefing the press.”

Asked if he will attend his father's coronation later this year, he said: “There's a lot that can happen between now and then but the door is always open, the ball is in their court.

“There is a lot to be discussed and I really hope they are willing to sit down and talk about it.”

Prince Harry said he still believes in the monarchy but when asked if he believes he will play a part in its future he said: “I don't know.”

Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have not commented on his allegations.

The show, called Harry: The Interview, will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITX at 9pm on January 8.

What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.

It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.

There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.

In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.

In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.

It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.

Some of Darwish's last words

"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008

His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.

Teachers' pay - what you need to know

Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:

- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools

- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say

- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance

- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs

- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills

- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month

- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues
