In a surprising revelation, Prince Harry has shed light on the story surrounding the much-discussed argument between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle before the royal wedding.
Initially, many believed the narrative that Markle had upset Middleton, but Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” provides a different perspective on the ordeal.
According to Harry, it wasn’t Markle who made Middleton cry; rather, it was the other way around.
He offers a detailed account of the pre-wedding tensions, including texts exchanged between the two women, which have never been disclosed before.
In these revelations, Harry points a finger at his father, King Charles III, suggesting that he played a role in leaking the story to the media.
As highlighted by Harper’s Bazaar, Harry recalls, “We all gathered in our little front annexe, and this time there was no small talk: Kate got things rolling straightaway by acknowledging that the stories in the papers about Meg making her cry were totally false.”
Middleton reportedly stated, “I know, Meghan, that I was the one who made you cry.”
So, with the finger not pointing at William and Kate, the Sussexes began to speculate about who could have divulged the information to the tabloids.
Harry narrated their internal debate: “We went around and around. The list of suspects became vanishingly small.”
Eventually, it was William’s admission that provided clarity; he mentioned having dinner with their father and Camilla during a tour in Australia, where he might have inadvertently revealed some family tensions.
The incident, which transpired days before the royal nuptials in 2018, revolved around conversations about the flower girl dresses.
Middleton expressed her dissatisfaction regarding Princess Charlotte’s outfit, leading to a tense exchange that left Markle in tears.
Harry depicted the unsettling atmosphere that ensued, providing a candid glimpse into the emotional strain both women were experiencing amid the hectic wedding preparations.
Adding an additional layer to the drama, Harry later shared the actual text messages between the two women, unveiling the raw emotions that characterized their interaction.
Markle has previously described this skirmish during her high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, portraying a picture of two women navigating a fraught moment under intense scrutiny.
In her account, Markle emphasized her intent to protect Middleton’s reputation, saying, “I don’t think it is fair to her to get into the details of [the fight], because she apologized.
And I have forgiven her.” This acknowledgment highlights Markle’s determination to mend the rift despite the media’s sensationalized portrayals.
Both Kate and Meghan were navigating difficult emotional landscapes at the time—the former grappling with the challenges of new motherhood while the latter was dealing with family issues of her own, including her father’s health struggles and the ongoing conflict with her estranged sister, Samantha.
It’s a telling reminder that even within the royal family, personal challenges continue behind the glitzy
