Prince Harry reveals Meghan, Kate’s fiery texts over wedding dresses that caused tearful feud

The recent revelations from Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare” shed light on the infamous dress-fitting incident involving Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton prior to the royal wedding in 2018. According to Harry’s account, the disagreement stemmed from a text message exchange where Middleton expressed concerns about the fit of Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

Specifically, Middleton allegedly messaged Markle that Charlotte’s dress was “too big, too long, too baggy,” causing the young princess to cry during a fitting. Harry explains that the dresses were custom-made French couture pieces, hand-sewn to specific measurements without a fitting, so some alterations were expected.

At the time, Markle was preoccupied with the drama surrounding her father, Thomas Markle, and his staged paparazzi photos, leading to a delayed response to Middleton’s complaint. This delay seemingly escalated the situation, culminating in reports of Markle “sobbing on the floor.”

Harry’s memoir sheds light on the highly publicized incident involving tensions between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton leading up to the royal wedding. According to the prince’s account, the disagreement stemmed from a text exchange regarding the bridesmaid dresses for the young girls.

Meghan had initially responded to Kate’s message about the dress fittings, explaining that she was preoccupied with issues surrounding her father’s involvement in the wedding. However, Kate insisted that the dresses needed to be remade entirely.

The exchange escalated, with Meghan questioning if Kate was aware of the situation with her father, and Kate emphasizing the urgency of the dress fittings with the wedding only days away. Kate also raised concerns about Meghan’s plans for a party for the page boys.

Despite the back-and-forth, Kate eventually agreed to take Princess Charlotte to Meghan’s tailor for alterations, though her response was curt. Harry reveals that the disagreement became too overwhelming for Meghan, leaving her in tears on the floor when he returned home.

The memoir by Prince Harry delves into the highly publicized incident involving Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle during the preparations for the royal wedding. It provides a firsthand account of the tensions and miscommunications that arose between the two duchesses amidst the stressful planning process.

According to Harry’s narrative, he assured Markle that Middleton did not intend any harm during their disagreement over the bridesmaid dresses. He mentions that the Princess of Wales visited their home the following morning with flowers and a card, offering an apology for any distress caused.

However, the drama escalated when the incident was leaked to the media, becoming a subject of tabloid speculation. Initial reports claimed that Markle had made Middleton cry during the dress-fitting altercation, which infuriated Harry as he believed it to be inaccurate.

Exacerbating the situation, palace officials allegedly refused to issue a public statement refuting these reports, further fueling the prince’s anger towards the royal family.

Notably, Middleton acknowledged that she was the one who cried following the disagreement with her sister-in-law but stated that she had apologized with a card and flowers.

In their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle stated that she was the one who had been reduced to tears during the disagreement over bridesmaid dresses, contrary to previous reports. She expressed disappointment that palace staffers had refused to correct the record.

Regarding Kate Middleton, Markle said, “I would hope that she would have wanted that corrected, and maybe in the same way that the palace wouldn’t let anybody else negate it, they wouldn’t let her, because she’s a good person.”

Middleton has remained silent on the bridesmaid dress drama, adhering to the royal family’s “never complain, never explain” policy. It is unclear whether she, too, was brought to tears following the argument.

The palace has declined to comment on any allegations made in Prince Harry’s upcoming book.
