Kate, however, is said to have insisted the dresses be completely remade, pointing to her own designer’s opinion. Meghan, overwhelmed by the ongoing chaos with her father at the time, asked whether Kate understood what she was dealing with. Kate acknowledged the situation but repeated that the wedding was only four days away. The conversation ended abruptly with a short “Fine,” but the damage was done. Harry wrote that he later found Meghan on the floor in tears.
A story rewritten by the press
Months after the wedding, British tabloids ran a very different version of events, claiming Meghan had made Kate cry. The narrative stuck, causing immense frustration for the Sussexes. When the two couples finally met privately to discuss it, Harry says Kate admitted that she had actually been the one who caused Meghan to cry. Despite that, the inaccurate story was never corrected.
