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.

New light shed on Meghan and Kate's royal dress drama
In his new book Yes, Ma'am: The Secret Life Of Royal Servants, author Tom Quinn claims the clash between the Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales ahead of Meghan and Prince Harry's 2018 wedding was far more mutual — and emotional — than once believed. The royal bridesmaid dress saga is back in the spotlight — and this time, both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are being painted in a different light. A former palace staffer told Quinn that the moment was 'blown out of proportion'. The source revealed, '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 former staff member also claimed the disagreement was 'subtly altered' by the media, becoming a stand-in for broader tensions between Meghan, Kate, and the royal family at large. The story first made headlines when it was reported that Meghan had made Kate cry — a claim Meghan firmly denied during her 2021 sit-down with Oprah Winfrey. Instead, she said she had been the one hurt by the exchange, adding that Kate had apologised and even brought flowers. 'It wasn't a confrontation,' Meghan said. 'She apologised.'

Meghan suggested a visit to the tailor, but when the two women met in person, Kate allegedly insisted Charlotte's dress was too big and had left her daughter in tears. According to Prince Harry, he later found Meghan sobbing on the kitchen floor from the stress, but Kate came by with a card and flowers in a gesture of reconciliation.
