The exchange unfolded at a moment when Meghan was already overwhelmed by the media storm surrounding her father. Harry writes that she tried to explain this, but Catherine stood firm, noting that the wedding was only days away. The conversation eventually ended with a short and reluctant “Fine.” When Harry returned home later, he found Meghan in tears on the floor, shaken by the exchange.
A story that escaped the couple’s control
Months later, the situation took on a much larger life. Tabloids published a very different version, claiming that Meghan had reduced Catherine to tears. Harry says that during a private meeting in late 2018, Catherine acknowledged that the reports were inaccurate and that she had in fact been the one who upset Meghan. Despite this, the false narrative remained unchallenged, leaving the couple deeply frustrated.
Harry also wrote that Prince William eventually admitted he might have mentioned the argument to their father and Queen Camilla during a dinner, which only added to the Sussexes’ sense of betrayal. The conversation ended quietly, leaving more questions than answers.
