Royal tailor set record straight on infamous Kate and Meghan bridesmaid drama as text messages between them are revealed

Following Prince Harry’s revelation of their text exchanges, a royal tailor cleared the air on the famed Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle bridesmaid controversy.

In his explosive book, Spare, published last year, the Duke of Sussex described the tumult surrounding his and Meghan’s wedding day in 2018.

In the book, Harry detailed what truly happened days before the wedding, replying to the constant tabloid reports that Meghan supposedly made Kate cry in the run-up to the event.

In her Oprah interview, Meghan argued it was the other way around, but added: “I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details, because she apologized. And I’ve forgiven her.”

Harry, on the other hand, was eager to discuss the specifics.

In his book, the father-of-two claimed that his wife-to-be and sister-in-law had a disagreement over bridesmaid outfits for Kate’s second-eldest child, Princess Charlotte.

With Kate and William’s daughter, Charlotte, scheduled to attend their wedding, Harry stated that there was a disagreement over the fit of her dress.

He recalls Kate contacting Meghan just four days before the wedding to tell her that the ‘French Couture’ outfits needed to be remade.

He wrote that Kate felt frustrated when Meghan did not respond to her right away.

“Meg didn’t reply to Kate straight away,” said Harry. “Yes, she had endless wedding-related texts, but mostly she was dealing with the chaos surrounding her father. So the next morning she texted Kate that our tailor was standing by.

“This wasn’t sufficient,” he added.

Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle Snr, had heart surgery in 2018 and was unable to attend her wedding.

According to Harry, Kate later complained: “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on a[t] home.”

Meghan supposedly said, “Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8 am. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?”

Kate reportedly protested, saying, “No, all the dresses need to be remade.”

Harry says: “Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father. Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”

To which Meghan snapped back: “Yes, Kate, I know… ”

Harry recalled Meghan telling Kate: “I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” to which Kate replied: “Fine.”

When Harry returned home after the disagreement, he discovered Meghan in tears,’ sobbing on the floor’.

The next day, Kate seemed to have arrived with a bunch of flowers and a card to apologize for the misunderstanding.

At the time, the Royal Family declined to comment on Harry’s charges in Spare.

Since then, elite tailor Ajay Mirpui has told the Daily Mail what happened that day.

“If anything happened in the background, it didn’t happen in front of me,” Mirpui recalled. “But yes, weddings are stressful at the best of times – and especially one at this high level; you’ve got to respect that. They were faced with a problem like anyone gets at a wedding, with last-minute hitches. I can understand why anybody would be upset if the dresses weren’t fitting – it’s nerve-wracking.”

The tailor continued: “I feel for them all because you wouldn’t want the children to go out on a big stage in an ill-fitting dress – and that’s what they were.

“All six bridesmaids’ dresses had to be fixed, and we did it.”

Mirpui also stated that the bridesmaids’ dresses, as they came, would not fit Princess Charlotte or Harry and Meghan’s goddaughters.

“We had to work tooth and nail for four days, four of us working until 4 am three nights in a row, to make them fit,” he added. “We left Windsor Castle at 10 pm, the night before the wedding.

“Did anyone on the day complain about the bridesmaids’ dresses and how they looked? The answer is no.”
