Despite the ongoing divorce rumors, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle always try to put on a united front and convince the world that there is no trouble in paradise. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t had their fair share of disagreements over the years.

We already know that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex disagree on whether their children should be exposed to the spotlight, but Prince Harry himself detailed another argument they once had in his tell-all memoir. Keep reading for more info…

Prince Harry Recalls Snapping at Meghan Markle After Misinterpreting Something She Said

According to Prince Harry's bombshell memoir, Spare, he and Meghan once had a very big fight after he drank too much wine and was dealing with intense media scrutiny.

The father-of-two said that he "snapped" at the former Suits actress after taking something she said "the wrong way," attributing his reaction to cultural differences between them.

"Maybe the wine went to my head. Maybe the weeks of battling the press had worn me down. I was also just oversensitive that night… I snapped at her, spoke to her harshly [and] cruelly," Prince Harry wrote in his memoir.

"As the words left my mouth, I could feel everything in the room come to a stop," he continued. "The gravy stopped bubbling, and the molecules of air stopped orbiting."

Meghan Markle Reportedly Told Prince Harry She Didn't Want To Raise Children 'In An Atmosphere Of Anger Or Disrespect'

Prince Harry went on to explain that the As Ever founder told him that she wouldn't "tolerate" being spoken to in the way he had just spoken to her, and she wasn't "going to raise children in an atmosphere of anger or disrespect."

The Invictus Games founder wrote: "[She asked] 'Where did you ever hear a man speak like that to a woman? Did you overhear adults speak that way when you were growing up?' I cleared my throat, looked away [and responded], 'Yes.'"

Prince Harry Turned To Therapy To Address His Outbursts

Following the argument, Prince Harry revealed that he began seeing a therapist to work through his unresolved anger, which both he and Meghan "knew" was part of a deeper struggle. He admitted he was previously reluctant to go to therapy, despite Prince William encouraging him to try it in the past, but eventually came around.

He wrote: "'I've tried therapy,' I told her. 'Willy told me to go. Never found the right person.' [It] didn't work. 'No,' she said softly. 'Try again.'"

Prince Harry has since praised therapy on many occasions over the years, and previously told Oprah: "I knew that if I didn't do the therapy and fix myself that I was going to lose this woman who I could see myself spending the rest of my life with."

In a candid ITV interview, he also revealed that he immediately called his therapist after an alleged physical altercation with Prince William. He confessed: "If I wasn't doing therapy sessions like I was and being able to process that anger and frustration, I would've fought back, 100%."
