Back in 2018, a rift formed between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle over a seemingly small but emotional matter — a bridesmaid dress for Princess Charlotte. Prince Harry previously shared his version of the incident, but now a former palace staffer has come forward with a different perspective.
In Tom Quinn’s new book “Gilded Youth: The Secret Life of the Royal Household,” a palace insider reveals what they believe is the real story behind the infamous fallout.

“I can tell you that all the newspapers and commentators got it wrong. The truth is, like in many family arguments — between sisters, brothers, or even in-laws — both sides were deeply upset. When discussing the bridesmaid dress, Meghan said a few things she later regretted, and Kate said a few things she later regretted. It was all impulsive. Both women ended up in tears,” the insider claims.

They suggest that the moment was simply charged with emotion — and it seems the true cause of the icy relationship between Meghan and Kate may forever remain locked behind palace doors.
