In his explosive new memoir, Spare, Prince Harry reveals new details of Meghan Markle’s infamous fight with Kate Middleton over bridesmaid dresses for the Sussexes’ 2018 wedding.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, wrote that the Princess of Wales texted her husband about a “problem” with daughter Princess Charlotte’s dress for the occasion.
“French fashion clothes” are simply “sewn by hand [the bridesmaids’] Harry wrote about measured designs, so it made sense that they would need some changes.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, responded to Middleton by telling her to bring Charlotte, now 7, to the palace, where a dressmaker was waiting to alter all six bridesmaids. According to Harry, this was not “enough” for the princess, and he set a time for the two to talk.
Middleton reportedly told Markle that Charlotte’s dress was “too big, long and baggy,” adding that the youngster “cried when she tried it on.”
When Markle reiterated that Middleton should bring Charlotte to the tailor on standby for alterations, Harry wrote, the princess told him that all the bridesmaids’ dresses had to be completely redone – four days before the wedding.
According to the Duke, Middleton also said her own bridal designer, Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, agreed with her assessment.
While the Princess of Wales eventually agreed to visit the tailor with Charlotte, Harry later found Markle in tears after the row, Harry wrote. The next day, he continued, Middleton apologized and brought flowers and a card.
Inside Harry’s new memories
Harry’s recap of the ordeal echoes what Markle shared during her bombshell Sussex interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. While it was widely reported that Markle had made Middleton cry in the run-up to their wedding, she revealed at the time that “the opposite happened.”
The Duchess of Sussex told Winfrey: “I don’t think it’s fair for him to go into detail because he apologized and I forgave him.
It is clear that her husband is not afraid to risk everything.
