Harry has given his first full account of the infamous ‘Megxit’ heart-fitting bridesmaid dress, claiming that Princess Charlotte ‘cried when she tried it on at home’.
Referring directly to his niece, a breach of privacy sure to infuriate his brother William, Harry insists the incident was brought on by his sister-in-law Kate, who seemed irritated that Meghan had taken a day to get back to her about the issue.
The disagreement between the two women, he claims, was further exacerbated by Kate’s unwillingness to visit Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace and suggestions that they throw a pageboy party when his bride-to-be was busy dealing with a fight with his father. , Thomas Markle.
Opening his latest salvo, the prince writes that Meghan received a text from Kate four days before their wedding saying there was a problem with the bridesmaids’ dresses and they needed changes.
They were “French couture” and had been hand-sewn from measurements only, with no adjustment, so it was “not a huge surprise” that they might not fit perfectly, he says.
Harry writes: ‘Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on at the moment. With her father. Kate said that she was very aware, but dresses her. And the wedding is in four days! ‘Yes, Kate, I know….’ his fiancée snapped back.
Harry writes: ‘Meg did not reply to Kate immediately. Yes, she had endless text messages related to the wedding, but mostly she was dealing with the chaos surrounding her father. So the next morning he texted Kate that our tailor was waiting.
She told him that his name was Ajay and that he was ‘in the palace’.
‘This wasn’t enough,’ Harry continues to write grimly.
After setting up a time to talk later that afternoon, Harry writes that Kate complained, “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy.” She cried when she tried it in a house.
Meghan snapped back: ‘Right, and I told you the tailor has been waiting since 8am. Here. in K.P. Can you get Charlotte to modify it, like the other mothers are doing?
According to Harry’s version of events, Kate replied, “No, all the dresses need to be redone.” And she said that she had discussed the issue with her ‘own wedding designer’, who agreed.

Harry writes: ‘Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on at the moment. With her father. Kate said that she was very aware, but dresses her. And the wedding is in four days!
‘Yes, Kate, I know….’ his fiancée snapped back.
She also claims that her sister-in-law had “issues with the way Meg was planning her wedding.” Something about a party for the little pages? It came and went’.
The prince reports that his wife said: ‘I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit, take Charlotte to see Ajay. He has been waiting all day.
‘Fine,’ Kate is said to have replied.
Harry claims he came home a short time later, suggesting that he and his ghostwriter were given an account of Meghan’s actual conversation, to find his fiancée “on the floor sobbing.”
While he says he was “appalled” to see her so upset, he didn’t think it was a catastrophe as emotions were understandably running high. He told Meghan that “Kate had meant no harm.”

He suggests his point was proven when the then-Duchess of Cambridge came the next morning with flowers and a card apologizing.
Harry insists on writing that Meghan’s best friend Lindsay was in the kitchen when she showed up as if to suggest that he can prove her version of events.
There have been several different versions over the years as to who made whom cry.
It was initially claimed that Meghan made Kate cry, a suggestion that so enraged the Sussexes that they went to war with their press office and demanded they make a correction.
When the officials refused, saying it would raise more questions about the incident and set a precedent for talking about private family matters, the couple decreed it was another example of how the palace was unwilling to defend them.
In fact, it was one of the first topics Meghan broached in her Oprah interview, and Harry subsequently insisted in his Netflix docuseries last month that it demonstrated how the institution was willing to lie to protect his brother but not tell the truth for them. .
She did it again today in her Good Morning America interview when asked for examples of how the palace put a negative spotlight on Meghan to protect other royals.
Harry told the interviewer: “It’s so petty, but the bridesmaids’ dresses.” At the time I was writing the book, we were at version 29 or 30, all of which involved my wife supposedly making a lot of people within my family cry, which just wasn’t the case. As a historical reference, the truth must be there and it must come from me.
However, sources have continued to suggest that Meghan was being difficult and that Kate carried flowers not to “apologize” but as a “classy” gesture to “keep the peace”.
