Additionally, the prince addressed Meghan Markle\u2019s relationship with Kate Middleton, highlighting a period when the two women reportedly harbored significant animosity toward one another.\n<p>It had previously been claimed that Meghan caused Kate to cry on her wedding day due to a disagreement over the flower girls\u2019 dresses. However, Meghan later disputed those reports, suggesting that it was actually Kate who had made her cry.\n</p><p>It\u2019s clear that Meghan and Kate were far from being close friends. In Spare, Harry recounted another incident where Kate reportedly lashed out at Meghan.\n</p><p>According to Harry, when Princess Charlotte, who was set to be a flower girl at Meghan\u2019s wedding, tried on her dress without it being properly fitted, she ended up in tears. A frustrated Kate is said to have confronted Meghan about the matter, ultimately leading Harry to find Meghan \u201csobbing on the floor.\u201d\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-44042 size-large src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/katemeghan1-768x1147-1-686x1024-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"686\"' height='\"1024\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Although they weren&rsquo;t initially enemies, Meghan and Kate didn&rsquo;t immediately become best friends. People did hope that the two would ultimately click and establish their rhythm, but there always seemed to be a discrepancy between them.\n</p><p>Meghan hasn&rsquo;t been particularly vocal about her friendship with Kate. Naturally, things have been rather explosive on the occasions that she has revealed information.\n</p><h4>Meghan &amp; Kate\u2019s relationship\n</h4><p>In their Netflix documentary released in December, Meghan shared that her first meeting with Kate didn\u2019t go as smoothly as she might have hoped.\n</p><p>\u201cWhen Will and Kate came over, and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner, I remember I was in ripped jeans, and I was barefoot,\u201d Meghan recalled.\n</p><p>\u201cI was a hugger. I\u2019ve always been a hugger, I didn\u2019t realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.\u201d\n</p><p>She went on to explain: \u201cI guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside. There is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and go \u2018You can relax now\u2019, but that formality carries over on both sides. And that was surprising to me.\u201d\n</p><p>After their royal wedding, Harry and Meghan briefly resided at Kensington Palace, where Prince William and Kate Middleton were also living at the time. However, although this was expected to be a joyful time for the two couples, tensions soon arose, leading to a swift departure for Harry and Meghan as they moved to their own residence.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-44041 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/harrymeghan3-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"337\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Not far from William and Kate, Harry and Meghan relocated to Nottingham Cottage. At that moment, the two spouses&rsquo; relationship worsened. Tom Quinn says this occurred for a number of reasons.\n</p><h4>Meghan didn\u2019t want Kate to take the first picture of Archie\n</h4><p>Meghan reportedly struggled with the reality that Kensington Palace was exclusively designated for William and Kate. At the same time, a senior royal aide allegedly told her she\u2019d never be \u201cin the first division.\u201d\n</p><p>\u201cIt was being pointed out to them in no uncertain terms that they weren\u2019t in the first division because that place is held by William and Kate. Inevitably that led to friction,\u201d Quinn claimed.\n</p><p>\u201cIn Meghan\u2019s world, if you\u2019re determined enough, you can get to the top. But Meghan can\u2019t, she can\u2019t get to the top whatever she does.\u201d\n</p><p>The official end of Harry and Meghan\u2019s royal duties came on March 31, 2020. By that time, the couple had already welcomed their first child, Archie. Their family later grew to include a daughter, Lilibet.\n</p><p>According to royal expert Neil Sean, Kate once offered to take the first newborn photos of Archie. However, Meghan reportedly declined, opting instead to \u201chire a photographer\u201d for the task.\n</p><p>\u201cThis was a very special gesture from the now-Princess of Wales to Meghan Markle when she had her first child, Archie,\u201d Sean said in a YouTube video, as reported by Express. He further explained that Kate had offered to \u201ctake the personal picture of baby Archie\u201d after receiving praise for her photography skills from professional photographers.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-44040 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/meghan2-768x552-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"768\"' height='\"552\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Meghan has a tense connection with a number of Royal Family members these days. As previously mentioned, the former actress had a difficult relationship with Kate Middleton in particular from the start, and vice versa.\n</p><h6>\u2018Kate didn\u2019t make an effort to welcome Meghan in royal family\u2019\n</h6><p>Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand suggest in their book Finding Freedom that the two women weren\u2019t necessarily feuding from the beginning. Instead, it appears the two royals simply didn\u2019t know each other well.\n</p><p>\u201cMeghan would agree with the assessment that the duchesses were not the best of friends,\u201d they wrote. \u201cTheir relationship hadn\u2019t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry\u2019s girlfriend.\u201d\n</p><p>Additionally, the authors note that Kate didn\u2019t put much effort into making Meghan feel welcome in the family, at least not to the extent that might have been expected.\n</p><p>Meghan reportedly hoped Kate would mentor her and help her navigate the complexities of joining \u201cthe Firm\u201d as an outsider. However, according to the authors, that support never materialized.\n</p><p>\u201cMeghan was disappointed that she and Kate hadn\u2019t bonded over the position they shared, but she wasn\u2019t losing sleep over it,\u201d Scobie and Durand wrote in Finding Freedom, also noting, \u201cMeghan would far rather have had Kate check in on her during the most difficult times with the press.\u201d\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-44039 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/meghanmarkleprinceharry2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"337\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Things then became more heated in the lead-up to Harry and Meghan&rsquo;s wedding.\n</p><h6>Kate made her cry on wedding day, Meghan claimed\n</h6><p>Meghan Markle, in her interview with Oprah, shared that Kate Middleton made her cry over the flower-girl dresses during her wedding preparations. This statement directly contradicted earlier claims reported by the tabloids.\n</p><p>\u201cIt really hurt my feelings. It was a really hard week of the wedding. And she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized. And she brought me flowers and a note, apologizing,\u201d Meghan explained.\n</p><p>Addressing the media narrative, she added, \u201cI think so much of what I have seen play out [in the media] is this idea of polarity, where if you love me, you don\u2019t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don\u2019t need to hate me.\u201d\n</p><p>By that time, the relationship between Meghan and Kate had become strained. Both were present at Queen Elizabeth\u2019s funeral last fall, marking their first encounter in quite a while. Reports from the event claimed that Meghan and Kate did not speak to one another.\n</p><p>In his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry disclosed further details about the 2018 incident involving Kate and Meghan, sharing a series of private text messages exchanged during the days leading up to his wedding with Meghan.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-44038 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/meghan1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"630\"' height='\"337\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>They focused on Princess Charlotte, Kate&rsquo;s daughter and Meghan&rsquo;s niece, who was to serve as a flower girl at the wedding at St George&rsquo;s Chapel on the Windsor grounds in a particular gown.\n</p><h6>Harry reveals Kate\u2019s angry text to Meghan in his book.\n</h6><p>The flower girls\u2019 dresses were described as &ldquo;French couture,&rdquo; but none of them had been fitted before being made. As a result, Harry noted that adjustments were anticipated.\n</p><p>For Meghan, it was an incredibly stressful period. She was not only focused on the wedding but also dealing with her father, Thomas Markle, who had staged fake photos for the paparazzi.\n</p><p>In his book, Harry recounted finding Meghan \u201csobbing on the floor\u201d after a text exchange with Kate. He shared that Kate sent Meghan a message stating: \u201cCharlotte\u2019s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home.\u201d\n</p><p>Initially, Harry claimed that Kate was reluctant to visit Meghan\u2019s tailor at Kensington Palace to address the issue. However, the bridesmaids\u2019 dresses ultimately required alterations, and they all had to be remade.\n</p><p>Harry further alleged that Kate consulted with her \u201cown wedding designer\u201d regarding the problems with the dresses.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-44037 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/meghankate2-768x511-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"768\"' height='\"511\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>\u201cMeg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father,\u201d Harry said. \u201cKate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!\u201d\n</p><h6>Harry found his wife \u201csobbing\u201d on the floor\n</h6><p>According to Harry, Meghan texted Kate saying, \u201cI\u2019m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn\u2019t fit then, please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He\u2019s been waiting all day.\u201d Kate responded with a brief: \u201cFine.\u201d\n</p><p>Harry recounted: \u201cA short time later I arrived home and found Meg on the floor. Sobbing,\u201d describing how he was \u201chorrified\u201d to see her in such a state. He continued, \u201cIt was intolerable but temporary. Kate hadn\u2019t meant any harm, I told her.\u201d\n</p><p>In his memoir Spare, Harry also wrote that Kate had \u201cproblems with the way Meg was planning her wedding. Something about a party for the page boys? It went back and forth.\u201d\n</p><p>So far, the British royal family has chosen not to address any of the claims made in the book. Meanwhile, Harry has found cause for celebration as Spare achieved massive success within just one day of its release.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-44036 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/spareharry1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"630\"' height='\"337\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>According to his publisher, Penguin Random House, Spare is poised to become the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever, as reported by Express.

Around 5.3 million people watched the drama Happy Valley, which was shown by the BBC at the same time.\n</p><p>Regarding the public&rsquo;s perception of Harry, the unfavorable trend also applies to him. Just 24% of people in the UK still think well of him, according to a recent YouGov poll that was reported in The Times.
