Prince Harry has disclosed the text messages that Kate Middleton allegedly sent to Meghan Markle during their well-known argument.
In his memoir Spare, the Duke of Sussex has openly shared details, offering a closer look at the tensions within the royal family, especially in the lead-up to the Sussexes’ wedding in 2018.
One key moment highlighted was the disagreement between Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, regarding the flower girl dresses.
In his memoir, Prince Harry shares that just days before the wedding, Middleton sent a message to Markle about Princess Charlotte’s dress, saying (according to Harper’s Bazaar): “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy.”
She then added: “She cried when she tried it on at home.”
The duke clarified that the dresses were made based on measurements taken earlier.
To ease the situation, Markle reminded Middleton that a tailor was ready at Kensington Palace to make any necessary adjustments.
She wrote: “Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8 a.m. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?”
However, Middleton reportedly insisted that ‘all the dresses be remade,’ following the advice of her wedding dress designer, Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, who allegedly supported her concerns.
As tensions rose, Markle brought up the intense pressure she was feeling because of the ongoing media attention surrounding her father, Thomas Markle.
Prince Harry then said: “Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father.”
Middleton acknowledged the situation but stood firm on the issue with the dress, replying: “And the wedding is in four days!”
The duchess tried to resolve the situation, writing: “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.”
In the end, Middleton gave in and responded briefly: “Fine.”
This exchange reportedly left Markle feeling deeply hurt, and Prince Harry later recalled coming home to find her “sobbing” on the floor.
