Prince Harry once exposed the infamous text message argument between Kate Middleton and his ‘sobbing’ wife, Meghan Markle.
In his explosive book, Spare, which was published in 2023, the Duke of Sussex revealed the tumult surrounding his and Meghan’s wedding day in 2018.
There were tabloid rumors that Meghan made Kate cry before the wedding.
In her infamous Oprah interview, Meghan insisted it was the other way around, but added: “I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details, because she apologized. And I’ve forgiven her.”
Harry, however, was more than happy to get into the details.
With Kate and William’s daughter, Charlotte, scheduled to attend their wedding, Harry stated that there was a disagreement over the fit of her dress.
He recalls Kate contacting Meghan just four days before the wedding to tell her that the ‘French Couture’ outfits needed to be remade.
He claims Kate felt frustrated because Meghan did not respond to her right away.
“Meg didn’t reply to Kate straight away,” says Harry. “Yes, she had endless wedding-related texts, but mostly she was dealing with the chaos surrounding her father. So the next morning she texted Kate that our tailor was standing by.”
“This wasn’t sufficient,” he adds.
Harry says that Kate later complained: “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on a[t] home.”
To which Meghan replied: “Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8am. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?”
However, Kate reportedly disagreed, saying: “No, all the dresses need to be remade.”
Harry says: “Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father. Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”
To which Meghan snapped back: “Yes, Kate, I know… ”
Harry recalls Meghan telling Kate: “I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” to which Kate replies: “Fine.”
After returning home to the aftermath of the disagreement, Harry says he found Meghan in tears ‘sobbing on the floor’.
The following day, Kate apparently came round with a bouquet of flowers and a card to apologise for the misunderstanding.
At the time, the Royal Family chose not to comment on Harry’s allegations in Spare.
