What Meghan Markle thought of Kate before Princess Charlotte row revealed
Meghan Markle touched upon her reaction after meeting Kate Middleton for the first time in a heartfelt interview.
The Duchess of Sussex, who was still a TV star when she announced her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, admitted she was pleasantly surprised to see Kate Middleton, who was at that time neighbours with Harry at Kensington Palace.
Speaking with Mishal Hussein for BBC, Meghan and Harry said: “It was exciting.”
Harry added: “I mean I’ve — you know I’d been seeing her for a period of time when I literally didn’t tell anybody at all. And then William was longing to meet her and so was Catherine, so you know, being our neighbours, we managed to get that in a couple of — well quite a few times now and Catherine has been absolutely…Wonderful.”
This became before Meghan and Kate had an alleged argument over Princess Charlotte in 2018.
The bridesmaid dress, that was stitched for the young Royal did not fit her properly, agitating Kate. She then reached out to Meghan and the conversation led to an argument between the two.
An insider told the Daily Telegraph: “What actually happened was that the dress itself did not fit Kate’s then nearly three-year-old daughter… Kate had only just given birth to her third child, Prince Louis, and was feeling quite emotional.”
Speaking to Oprah Winfrey about what actually happened ahead of the big Royal wedding, Meghan admitted she received apology from Kate.
Meghan said: “She [Kate] was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologised. And she bought me flowers. A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining – yes, the issue was correct – about flower girl dresses, and it made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings.
“And I thought, in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding, that it didn’t make sense to not be just doing whatever everyone else was doing, which was trying to be supportive, knowing what was going on with my dad and whatnot. It wasn’t a confrontation, and I actually think it’s… I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details of that, because she apologized.
