Prince Harry Rumored to Have Hit Prince Andrew — But Did He Really?
A wild story is making the rounds: Prince Harry allegedly slapped Prince Andrew back in 2013 during a tense moment. While the event may not have actually happened, the idea alone has stirred up strong reactions from the public.
According to a piece in the Mirror by commentator Fleet Street Fox, some fans say they would actually praise Harry if it were true — especially considering Prince Andrew's damaged reputation. As you may know, Andrew has been heavily criticized over the years due to his links to serious scandals, including the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The article quotes a royal author’s claim that Harry “got the better” of Andrew and left him with a bloody nose — but even the writer questions how believable that is. She jokingly calls the two men “soft-handed manbabies” more likely to call lawyers than throw punches.
In reality, Prince Harry's team has denied any such incident ever took place. Still, the mere idea of him confronting Andrew — even if only in theory — has sparked mixed public reaction.
The article even points out that if Harry had really confronted Andrew physically, he might have actually gained public support—even from people who don’t usually back him. That’s because Andrew is seen by many as someone who’s done serious damage to the Royal Family's image—far more than Meghan, Diana, or any royal scandals of the past.
Takeaway:
-
This story shows how public perception of royal figures can shift quickly—even based on unconfirmed rumors.
-
While Harry’s team says it never happened, the idea that he stood up to Prince Andrew is surprisingly appealing to some royal fans.
-
The media is using this story to highlight how much resentment still exists toward Andrew, and how Harry’s image is always caught in the middle.
