\nIn her Oprah interview, Meghan argued it was the other way around, but added: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to her to get into the details, because she apologized. And I\u2019ve forgiven her.\u201d\n
Following Prince Harry\u2019s revelation of their text exchanges, a royal tailor cleared the air on the famed Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle bridesmaid controversy.
\nIn his explosive book, Spare, published last year, the Duke of Sussex described the tumult surrounding his and Meghan\u2019s wedding day in 2018.\n
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.\n

Harry, on the other hand, was eager to discuss the specifics.\n
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\u2019s second-eldest child, Princess Charlotte.\n
With Kate and William\u2019s daughter, Charlotte, scheduled to attend their wedding, Harry stated that there was a disagreement over the fit of her dress.\n
He recalls Kate contacting Meghan just four days before the wedding to tell her that the \u2018French Couture\u2019 outfits needed to be remade.\n
He wrote that Kate felt frustrated when Meghan did not respond to her right away.\n

\n\u201cMeg didn\u2019t reply to Kate straight away,\u201d said Harry. \u201cYes, 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.\n
\u201cThis wasn\u2019t sufficient,\u201d he added.\n
Meghan Markle\u2019s father, Thomas Markle Snr, had heart surgery in 2018 and was unable to attend her wedding.\n
According to Harry, Kate later complained: \u201cCharlotte\u2019s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on a[t] home.\u201d\n
Meghan supposedly said, \u201cRight, 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?\u201d\n
\n
\nKate reportedly protested, saying, \u201cNo, all the dresses need to be remade.\u201d\n
Harry says: \u201cMeg 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!\u201d\n
To which Meghan snapped back: \u201cYes, Kate, I know\u2026 \u201d\n
Harry recalled Meghan telling Kate: \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 to which Kate replied: \u201cFine.\u201d\n
When Harry returned home after the disagreement, he discovered Meghan in tears,\u2019 sobbing on the floor\u2019.\n
The next day, Kate seemed to have arrived with a bunch of flowers and a card to apologize for the misunderstanding.
\nAt the time, the Royal Family declined to comment on Harry\u2019s charges in Spare.\n
Since then, elite tailor Ajay Mirpui has told the Daily Mail what happened that day.\n

\n\u201cIf anything happened in the background, it didn\u2019t happen in front of me,\u201d Mirpui recalled. \u201cBut yes, weddings are stressful at the best of times \u2013 and especially one at this high level; you\u2019ve 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\u2019t fitting \u2013 it\u2019s nerve-wracking.\u201d\n
The tailor continued: \u201cI feel for them all because you wouldn\u2019t want the children to go out on a big stage in an ill-fitting dress \u2013 and that\u2019s what they were.\n
\u201cAll six bridesmaids\u2019 dresses had to be fixed, and we did it.\u201d\n
Mirpui also stated that the bridesmaids\u2019 dresses, as they came, would not fit Princess Charlotte or Harry and Meghan\u2019s goddaughters.\n
\u201cWe 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,\u201d he added. \u201cWe left Windsor Castle at 10 pm, the night before the wedding.\n
\u201cDid anyone on the day complain about the bridesmaids\u2019 dresses and how they looked? The answer is no.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
