New Details Emerge on Royal Bridesmaid Dress Row

A new royal biography by Tom Quinn, 'Yes, Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants,' revisits the 2018 dispute between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle over a bridesmaid dress for Princess Charlotte. Early media reports claimed Meghan made Kate cry, but Meghan later told Oprah Winfrey it was Kate who made her cry and apologized afterward. Prince Harry's memoir 'Spare' added that a tense exchange over the dress's fit left Meghan 'sobbing.' Quinn's book, citing a royal staffer, reveals that both women were deeply upset and 'crying their eyes out,' each later regretting things said in the heat of the moment. The incident reportedly contributed to the ongoing rift within the royal family, with the staffer suggesting media coverage exaggerated its significance. The new account presents a more mutual and emotionally charged view of the dispute.
