The royal wedding of 2018 had drama, dresses, and… actual tears. Tom Quinn claims Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton both broke down crying over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress in his new royal book, “Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants.” So, who really cried? Plot twist—it wasn’t just the Princess of Wales!
Just a reminder of how absolutely atrocious Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaids dress was in #HarryandMeghan’s spectacle wedding. The hem is all over the place, the dress fits poorly-remember, this is a bespoke Givenchy dress-and in the photo with Princess Charlotte with Jessica and… pic.twitter.com/jkB8Vjb1ZL

According to a former palace staffer, Kate Middleton argued in a back-and-forth with Meghan Markle because Charlotte’s dress was “baggy, long, and big.” The Duchess of Sussex told her to see the tailor at Kensington Palace, but she responded that the dress needed to be remade. Both of them kept arguing through texts, getting heated over the situation. Then, Meghan Markle told Oprah in 2021 that she cried, contradicting reports that Kate was the emotional one. Prince Harry even backed her version in his book “Spare.”In the end, the Princess of Wales later visited Meghan with flowers and a card to apologize.
Tom Quinn's new book about the life of Royal servants is a must-read.
The best line?
"She (Meghan) was a great believer in grabbing the bull by the horns – except the Royal Family is not really a bull."

The dress drama has been swirling since 2018, with Tom Quinn‘s bombshell book rehashing the nachos of this sisters-in-law discussion that seemed to cool down with time. But who could’ve thought that this bridesmaid dress would have people talking seven years later?
