Meghan Markle’s cruel words about Princess Charlotte that caused rift with Princess Kate

Back in 2018 there was plenty of drama for Princess Kate in the build-up to Meghan Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry.

In spite of Meghan finding herself in a similar position to Kate when she married Prince Harry, as a non-aristocratic outsider joining the Firm, the two women struggled to build a friendship.

In the run-up to Meghan and Harry’s May 2018 wedding, tensions reached fever pitch, as it was reported at the time that the Duchess of Sussex made Kate cry in a row over bridesmaid’s dresses.

However it was later clarified that it was in fact Meghan who had been crying, and Harry also confirmed that Kate had sent flowers over to apologise.

But in the book ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War between the Windsors’ author Tom Bower adds further fuel to the fire by claiming that Meghan compared Charlotte to her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s daughter Ivy.

Mr Bower’s book quotes unnamed sources that said Meghan “compared Princess Charlotte unfavourably to her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s daughter”.

According to MailOnline, the book claims that Kate had been “tired” following the birth of her third child Prince Louis, who arrived in April just weeks before the wedding.

The now-Princess of Wales was reportedly “too fatigued” to argue with Meghan over whether or not her bridesmaids should wear tights, although royal protocol suggested they should.
