Meghan and Kate’s fiery text exchange revealed
<p dir="ltr">An explosive text exchange between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle has been aired by Prince Harry, detailing how the women clashed over Princess Charlotte’s dress for Harry and Meghan’s wedding.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the Duke of Sussex’s memoir <em>Spare</em>, he shared exactly what was said between Kate and Meghan which led to him finding his wife “on the floor sobbing”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harry wrote that the week of his 2018 wedding to Meghan, Kate texted his soon-to-be wife about a “problem” with Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The French haute couture dresses had been hand-sewn based solely on [the bridesmaids’] measurements, so it was not surprising that they needed alterations,” Harry explained of the dresses, which were custom-made by Givenchy’s then-creative director Clare Waight Keller, who also created Meghan’s wedding dress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Meg didn’t reply to Kate straight away. Yes, she had endless wedding-related texts, but mostly she was dealing with the chaos surrounding her father. So the next morning she texted Kate that our tailor was standing by,” Harry wrote.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meghan added that the tailor’s name was “Ajay” and he was “at the Palace”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But Harry claims “this wasn’t sufficient”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He explained that Kate wrote back, complaining, “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to Harry, Meghan replied, “Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8am. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harry claimed Kate rejected the offer, demanding that “all the dresses need to be remade,” and that her own wedding dress designer, Sarah Burton, had agreed with her.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father. Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!” Harry wrote, to which his wife reportedly replied sharply, “Yes, Kate, I know.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harry went on to explain that his wife eventually replied to Kate with, “I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit, then please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Fine,” he says Kate responded.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In his memoir, Harry says that while he came home to find Meghan “on the floor sobbing”, he hadn’t considered Kate’s behaviour to be malicious, telling his bride that she “hadn’t meant any harm.”</p>
