Harry’s canine bowl row with William erupted after his brother visited to confront him over claims Meghan bullied workers, The Sun can reveal.
The Duke of Sussex claims he was floored by his older sibling in a violent showdown over “the whole rolling catastrophe” of their relationship.
In bombshell extracts from his ebook Spare, Harry, 38, claims Wills referred to as Meg “rude” and “abrasive”, then ripped his necklace as he knocked him onto the bottom and broke the pet bowl.
In an interview with journalist pal Tom Bradby, which is on ITV on Sunday night time, Harry will blame William’s ”pink mist” and say his brother urged him to “hit back”.
But we will reveal the kitchen combat began when William, 40, popped to Harry’s Nottingham Cottage to deal with the Meghan bully claims.

Harry reveals a sequence of arguments and petty disputes, together with a row with William over beards and Meghan offending Kate after talking about her “hormones” and “baby brain” in his ebook Spare, which matches on sale in Australia on Wednesday.
Sources say William has been anxious the ebook has been “hanging over them” for 18 months and is relieved it has lastly been printed however stays calm about its contents.
Another supply mentioned: “What Harry does not explain in the book is that the real reason William went to speak with him was to address allegations Meghan was mistreating and bullying staff.
“William went in good faith to talk with his brother after he heard some pretty shocking accusations levelled at Meghan.
“He had been told of allegations Meghan was bullying her staff and wanted to get across to his brother that was not the way things are done in the Royal Family.”
In October 2018, Jason Knauf, then communications secretary to Harry and Meghan, wrote to William’s non-public secretary Simon Case revealing the allegations.
Whistleblower Knauf, who later ran Kate and William’s Royal Foundation, alleged Meghan appeared intent on “always having someone in her sights” and he acquired “report after report” from individuals who witnessed “unacceptable behaviour”.
Harry pleaded with Knauf to not report the allegations, it was reported by The Times.

Meghan denied all bullying allegations and the palace report won’t ever be printed.
But Harry fails to say in his ebook that his epic row with William within the kitchen of “Nott Cott” in December 2019 was over the bullying claims.
He says Wills was “piping hot” and “came at me”.
Harry writes that William urged him to hit again like they did as kids however he refused.
The ebook claims Harry referred to as his therapist as a substitute of telling his spouse instantly.
In a trailer at this time for the Bradby interview, Harry mentioned of being floored by his trouble: “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.
“He wanted me to hit him back, but I chose not to.”
In the interview filmed in California earlier than Christmas, Bradby delves into Harry’s medicine confessions together with snorting cocaine, smoking hashish and hallucinating that he was speaking to a bin.
Bradby, friends with Harry for 20 years, mentioned: “There’s a fair amount of drugs. Marijuana, magic mushrooms, cocaine.
“I mean, that’s going to surprise people.”
In the trailer, Harry says: “But, important to acknowledge.”
Neither Buckingham Palace nor William’s spokesman at Kensington Palace wished to remark.
