Reacting to Prince Harry's claims that his brother Prince William physically attacked him, Christopher shared a message on Twitter which read: "This is terribly sad. Not least because once you remove mystery from the magic of monarchy, there's precious little left to separate the royals from the rest of us. Harry, it appears, never understood that - today, his magic evaporated into thin air."

The journalist took to social media

Christopher's tweet comes after The Guardian published a leaked extract from Prince Harry's highly anticipated memoir, Spare.

Sharing a glimpse inside the Duke's altercation with his brother Prince William, Harry claimed that William turned up "piping hot" to a pre-arranged meeting between the brothers to discuss "the whole rolling catastrophe" of their relationship.

The Duke of Sussex allegedly fell out with William over Meghan Markle

Harry further claimed William had called his wife Meghan Markle "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive" – comments which the younger brother said parroted "the press narrative" about his wife.

The leaked extracts also included an allegation that the Prince of Wales physically assaulted Harry in 2019. Harry claimed that he was left with a visible injury to his back after William grabbed him by the collar and ripped his necklace before knocking him to the floor.
