Prince Harry’s memoir Spare opened a rare window into the deeply strained relationships inside the Royal Family. One of the moments that shocked readers most was the dispute between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle just days before the Sussexes’ wedding in 2018. The incident had long been whispered about, but Harry finally shared the text messages behind the argument, revealing a very different story from what the tabloids reported.
According to Harry, the tension began when Kate texted Meghan to say that Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress was “too big, too long, too baggy.” She added that Charlotte had cried when trying it on at home. The dresses had been made from predetermined measurements, something Meghan tried to explain as she reminded Kate that a tailor had been waiting at Kensington Palace since early morning. She encouraged her to bring Charlotte in like the other mothers were doing.
