The drama unfolded just days before Prince Harry’s 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle
In his book Spare, which hit shelves last year, Prince Harry disclosed a lot of personal moments, rifts and secrets that nobody could have guessed, including an alleged feud between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.
Apparently the exchange between the two happened just days before Meghan’s nuptials to Harry in 2018.
This moment, which reportedly caused Meghan to make Kate cry – was previously revealed in leaked excerpts of the book.
It explained that Kate had allegedly made Meghan cry after she demanded that ‘all the dresses’ for the flower girls had to be remade.
Harry even included the actual text exchange in his writing.
Kate apparently wrote to the bride-to-be: “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy.”
“She cried when she tried it on at home,” Kate added.
After that, Meghan went on to say that a tailor could make alterations, replying: “Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8am. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?”
That’s when Kate asked for ‘all the dresses be remade.’
Harry then interjected that: “Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father.
“Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”
The whole thing allegedly resulted from Kate’s ‘problems with the way Meg was planning her wedding. Something about a party for the page boys? It went back and forth.’
That’s when Meghan told her that she wasn’t ‘sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day.’
It was reported that Kate responded with a cold ‘fine’ and the next thing Harry knew, Meghan was ‘sobbing’ on the floor.
According to the tabloids months later, it was reported that Meghan was the instigator and made Kate cry.
During her interview in 2021 with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan rehashed her side of the story and how the tabloids affected her.
She said: “I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details of [the fight], because she apologized. And I’ve forgiven her. What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn’t do, but that happened to me.
“And the people who were part of our wedding going to our comms team and saying, ‘I know this didn’t happen.’”
