What Reportedly Really Went On Behind The Scenes During Kate Middleton And Meghan Markle’s Wedding Day Spat: ‘All The Papers And Commentators Got This Wrong’

by

Reflecting on when tensions between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the royal family first escalated, their wedding appears to have been a contentious event. According to various reports, there was an argument over Princess Charlotte’s flower girl dress not fitting properly, which allegedly led to a disagreement that left one or both of the women in tears. However, a new biography offers a different perspective, suggesting that the accounts circulating are not entirely accurate.

What A New Biography Says About Meghan Markle And Kate Middleton’s Argument

The tale spread after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 2018 wedding suggested that Kate Middleton, William’s wife, contacted Meghan Markle about her daughter’s dress not fitting properly, and that this interaction left the “Suits” actress in tears. However, Markle denied this version of events.

On the other hand, as mentioned in Tom Quinn’s book titled ‘Yes, Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants‘, a staff member within the royal household has shared that the disagreement was not solely initiated by one side, according to Newsweek.

Actually, everyone seems to have misunderstood this situation. It’s quite like family squabbles – sisters, brothers, or even sisters-in-law can have disagreements. During the discussion about the bridesmaid’s dress, both Meghan and Kate said things they later wished they hadn’t, in the heat of the moment. Both women ended up crying a lot.

Instead of the portrayed scenario, it appears that neither Meghan Markle nor Prince Harry were directly attacking each other. Rather, it’s suggested that during a time when emotions were intense, both women may have expressed feelings that led to their upset.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Gave Different Accounts

The claim, however, contradicts what was published in media outlets as well as the statements made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, since they stepped down from their royal duties. In their candid interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan disputed the narrative that she had made Kate Middleton cry, asserting instead, “it was actually the other way around,” and Kate reportedly apologized and sent flowers to her afterwards.

In his book, “Spare”, Prince Harry confirms that his account matches his wife’s version of events, sharing an incident where he discovered Meghan Markle on the floor crying following a conversation with his sister-in-law.

If it’s indeed accurate that both queens wept, how was the narrative changed when it reached the newspapers? This issue was also tackled by the staff member in Yes Ma’am. They mentioned:

People often overlook the fact that when a private disagreement or dispute among royals becomes public through media, it subtly transforms and is often exaggerated. However, royals are inclined to accept newspaper reports if they align with their perspective, which is why the incident involving Meghan’s bridesmaid’s dress was seen as a symbol for all the other issues she faced with Kate, William, and other family members.

Reflecting on the past, I can’t help but see that pivotal moment as a significant shift in my bond with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. It comes as no surprise then, that this particular incident often serves as a symbol for the challenges our family has faced collectively.

The recently published book emerges at a time when there are rumors that Meghan Markle still employs her royal title following her relocation to the U.S., with Prince William allegedly planning to cease this practice upon ascending the throne. Additionally, it appears that the British royal family has discontinued communication with Prince Harry and his spouse.
