“The truth is that as with many of these spats between sisters, brothers or even sisters-in-law, both sides were really upset,” the staffer instructed Quinn, per Newsweek.
“The truth is that during the discussions about [Charlotte’s] 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!”
On the time, sources instructed Individuals there was vital “stress” main as much as the marriage.
“Kate had only just given birth to Prince Louis and was feeling quite emotional,” royal reporter Camilla Tominey wrote in the Telegraph in 2018.
In Harry’s 2023 memoir “Spare,” the royal, 40, wrote that Middleton texted Markle 4 days previous to their nuptials, saying: “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home.”

The tailor, Ajay Mirpuri, spoke out after Harry’s guide was revealed and recounted the tense state of affairs.
“If anything happened … it didn’t happen in front of me,” the tailor instructed the Every day Mail. “But yes, weddings are stressful at the best of times — and especially one at this high level; you’ve got to respect that. They were faced with a problem like anyone gets at a wedding, with last-minute hitches. I can understand why anybody would be upset if the dresses weren’t fitting — it’s nerve-wracking.”
“I feel for them all because you wouldn’t want the children to go out on a big stage in an ill-fitting dress — and that’s what they were,” Mirpuri admitted. “All six bridesmaids’ dresses had to be fixed, and we did it.”
This wasn’t the primary time Markle and Middleton feuded. Within the 2022 Netflix sequence “Harry & Meghan,” Markle recounted her awkward first encounter with Middleton and Prince William.

“I guess I’d start to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside,” she famous. “There is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and you relax now. But that formality carries over on both sides, and that was surprising to me.”
Markle and Harry, who’re mother and father to Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 3, relocated to Montecito, California in 2020 after stepping again from their royal duties. They final noticed Harry’s household in-person on the 2022 funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.

“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point,” Harry instructed the BBC after the decision.
“The things that they’re going to miss is, well, everything. I love my country. I always have done. Despite what some people in that country have done,” he went on. “I miss the UK, I miss parts of the UK, of course I do. I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
