So who WOULD win in a fight between Harry and William?

Social media users joked about Prince Harry’s claims that he had a fight with his brother, with some saying Wills is “not the most athletic” and asking “who hasn’t had a tear with their brother?”
The Duke of Sussex is said to have described a stand-up fight which ended with the Prince of Wales grabbing him by the neck and throwing him to the ground, breaking a dog bowl with his back. William then allegedly told a ‘scared’ Harry, ‘I didn’t attack you, Harold.’
Twitter users joked that the scene was reminiscent of a ‘royal rumble’, with the majority seeming to back Harry as the most likely to win.
“Of the two in a break up I think my money would be on Harry,” one wrote. ‘I find it hard to believe that William has the measure of him.’ Another, Susan Godber, added: “We all know William isn’t the most athletic.”
Twitter users joked that the scene is reminiscent of a ‘royal rumble’ and shared clips of Harry exercising vigorously along with a video of William inching along a tree trunk.
Other Twitter users shared clips of Harry exercising briskly along with a video of William inching his way along a tree trunk as he struggled for balance.
Roz Hubley, a public relations consultant, tweeted: “And here we were thinking how tough Harry was after his spell in Afghanistan and childishly complaining about his brother pushing him!”
Meanwhile, Magdalena Vassi said: ‘And were you scared? And she was terrified when William yelled at her? I mean, was she ever in the military?

In the extraordinary excerpt from Harry’s forthcoming autobiography, Spare, The Guardian newspaper reportedHarry recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his brother, which he claims left him with visible injuries, including “scratches and bruises”.
The furious dispute reportedly broke out in the kitchen of their London home, Nottingham Cottage, in the grounds of Kensington Palace in 2019.
Describing what he claims happened next, and insisting he was scared, the ex-soldier said: “He left the water, called me by another name and then came towards me.” It all happened so fast. Very fast.
“He grabbed me by the neck, ripped my collar and threw me to the ground. I landed in the dog bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting me. I stood there for a moment, stunned, then stood up and told him to come out.’
