Seven years after Meghan Markle’s royal wedding, the infamous clash between her and Kate Middleton over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress is back in the headlines. While Meghan and Prince Harry previously claimed Kate made Meghan cry, new insights suggest a more balanced — and emotional — truth.
In Spare, Harry described tense texts, with Kate insisting Charlotte’s dress was “too big, too long, too baggy” just four days before the wedding. Meghan replied that the tailor was “standing by since 8am.” The disagreement reportedly left Meghan in tears. Kate later apologized with flowers and a note.
Now, a royal staffer in Tom Quinn’s new book Yes, Ma’am says both women were equally emotional. “They were both crying their eyes out,” the insider revealed. “It was heat-of-the-moment — both said things they regretted.”
Luxury tailor Ajay Mirpui, who worked on the dresses, offered a calmer view: “I didn’t see any drama… but weddings are stressful, especially royal ones.”
Despite past reports blaming one side, the latest accounts suggest no villain — just a deeply emotional moment behind palace doors.
