Here comes the truth: Meghan Markle not the only victim in her fight with Kate Middleton, reveals insider
There was a disagreement between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton over bridesmaid dresses. It happened back in 2018, just before Meghan and Prince Harry's royal wedding. It remains one of the most controversial chapters in the British royal family.
A royal staff member told author Tom Quinn that both women had said things they regretted and ended up in tears. The incident was small but was made bigger by the media, per the insider.
Meghan spoke about the alleged fight during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. The Duchess of Sussex gave the impression that she was the one hurt.
Meghan shared that Kate was upset about something before the wedding but later said sorry and brought her flowers. According to Prince Harry's wife, it wasn't a fight and that Kate had taken responsibility.
What hurt Meghan most was being wrongly blamed for something she didn't do. Meghan also said people at the wedding knew the truth but didn't speak up.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl earlier said that the Princess of Wales had become extremely upset that her disagreement with Meghan was made public. While Meghan tried to end the rumours in an interview, Harry shared more details in his book Spare.
According to the Duke of Sussex, Kate messaged Meghan before the wedding about Princess Charlotte's dress not fitting well. Meghan suggested using a palace tailor. When they spoke in person, Kate reportedly mentioned that the 3-year-old princess felt bad and cried as the dress was too big for her.
Meghan, already stressed, became very upset after hearing that. Harry said he had found her crying on the kitchen floor. Later, Kate apologised by visiting their home with flowers and a card.
The incident eventually became a symbol of Meghan's wider issues with Kate Middleton, Prince William and others in the royal family. However, Meghan's version of being the only victim seems to be just one side of the story.
Rayal author Tom Quinn claims in his new book, Yes, Ma'am: The Secret Life Of Royal Servants, that both Kate and Meghan felt 'really upset'.
'The truth is that during the discussions about the bridesmaid's dress, Meghan said a few things she regretted, and Kate said a few things she later regretted, but it was all in the heat of the moment. Both women were crying their eyes out!' the insider told Quinn.

Is Carlos Alcaraz single? The 22 year old tennis player breaks his silence on dating and romance
Image: AP Carlos Alcaraz, the fiery Spanish sensation who's won five Grand Slam titles by age 22, has been dominating headlines—both on and off the court. But while tennis fans are obsessed with his speed, power, and clay-court wizardry, there's another question on everyone's lips: Is this heartbreak roller-coaster bachelor dating anyone? 'I am single... and looking for someone' In a refreshing dose of honesty, Carlos recently told The Sunday Times, 'No, I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are traveling all the time' His tone was shy but genuine—no glamorous celebrity vagueness here, just someone admitting that constant travel and back-to-back tournaments make stable relationships a challenge. He says it is 'hard to find the person who can share things with you if you're always in different parts of the world.' Carlos Alcaraz: Rumoured girlfriends Of course, nothing in the fame universe stays secret for long. Carlos has been loosely linked to three names: Maria González Giménez: A fellow tennis player from his hometown Murcia, Spain—suggesting a sweet story. Alcaraz once posted an Instagram story featuring him kissing her cheek, captioned 'I miss you,' which sparked wild speculation. Emma Raducanu: The British sensation showing up in the stands at Wimbledon 2024 raised eyebrows. When asked, he responded playfully, 'She is from here, so I imagine she wanted to come… I'm not sure if she came to see me or the final,' seeming to deflect rumors with both caution and a hint of affection However, none of the relationships were confirmed by Alcaraz. There's a solid reason everyone's curious: tennis stars are under the spotlight, and Alcaraz's meteoric rise just adds fuel. At home in Spain—or lounging during off days—rolls with his family, lives humbly, and tries to stay grounded . But courtside, it's all business: focused, intense, and relentless. Still, fans love the romantic question. Is the winning jock going to find someone to share courtside love stories? Or is the pursuit of trophies and records enough to fill his world? He's young (turning 22 in May 2025), chasing major titles, and building a legacy. Not exactly the ideal time to settle down—especially when every week brings a new city, different time zones, and back-to-back tournament bouts.
