Harry shares Kate’s furious text to Meghan days before wedding in ‘Spare’ book

With the release of Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” several members of the Royal Family and even a former butler received their share of criticism.

Harry did not hold back in revealing new details about his life within the royal sphere. He also shed light on Meghan Markle’s relationship with Kate Middleton, highlighting a period of animosity between the two women.

It had been reported that Meghan made Kate cry on her wedding day over the flower girl dresses. However, Meghan later contradicted these claims, stating that it was actually Kate who made her cry.

Their relationship was never close. In “Spare,” Harry revealed another instance where Kate lashed out at Meghan. When Princess Charlotte, a flower girl at Meghan’s wedding, tried on her dress without a fitting, she was left in tears. A furious Kate contacted Meghan, leading to Harry finding Meghan “sobbing on the floor.”

Harry’s memoir also delves into other aspects of Meghan and Kate’s relationship. Meghan described their first meeting in the couple’s Netflix documentary, sharing how she was in ripped jeans and barefoot, which was jarring for the more formal Kate.

Despite living close to each other at Kensington Palace, tensions quickly arose between the two couples. Meghan reportedly struggled with the realization that Kensington Palace was reserved for William and Kate. This led to friction, with Meghan feeling that she would never be in the “first division” of the royal family.

During their interview with Oprah, Meghan claimed that Kate made her cry over flower-girl dresses on her wedding day, a claim Meghan said was later apologized for by Kate.

In “Spare,” Harry revealed details of the tense text exchange between Meghan and Kate about Princess Charlotte’s dress. Kate texted Meghan saying, “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home.” Meghan asked if Kate was aware of what was happening with her father, Thomas Markle. Kate acknowledged this but emphasized the dresses needed to be fixed. The exchange ended with Meghan suggesting Kate take Charlotte to see the tailor, and Kate replying, “Fine.”

When Harry arrived home, he found Meghan sobbing on the floor. Harry wrote that while Kate hadn’t meant any harm, the incident was intolerable but temporary.

Despite the ongoing tensions, Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” has been a huge success, selling 400,000 copies across various formats on its first day and heading towards a record for the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever.

“Spare” has sold 1.4 million copies on its first day in the UK, United States, and Canada, and is the top-selling publication on the UK Amazon site. This memoir has opened up new understandings of Prince Harry, although his popularity in Britain has declined, with only 24 percent of the UK population having a favorable view of him, down from 80 percent a decade ago.
