Meghan Markle’s biographer Omid Scobie claims that the Duchess of Sussex demanded that her aides issue a statement stating that Kate Middleton made her cry in a bridesmaid dress.
During his interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle ran widespread reports that he “made Kate cry” about her flower girl dresses, insisting, “The opposite happened.”
He insisted that his sister-in-law “made me cry and really hurt my feelings” before her wedding to Prince Harry, adding that Middleton, the wife of Harry’s brother, Prince William, later he apologized “and I forgave him”.
In an article for Harper’s Bazaar, Scobie wrote that the couple’s “exasperation” with the royal family’s silence about the negative press about them reached a boiling point in January 2020 when Kensington Palace called for to Harry to sign a statement against a report from the “offensive” newspaper. who claimed that William had “constantly harassed” them in the pre-Megxit period.
“Well, if we’re releasing any statements now, maybe KP can finally set the record on me [not making Kate cry]”Meghan emailed an assistant, according to Scobie, who quoted a source.
“But, as with many of the couple’s requests, her suggestion was ignored. She was told the Duchess of Cambridge should never be dragged into idle gossip,” Scobie wrote. , author of the biography “Finding Freedom” of Sussex, in his piece.
“Meghan was repeatedly told that it would not be possible to set the record, despite it being a story that was fueled by a narrative laden with stereotypes,” she wrote.
“Other members of the royal family often received more sympathetic support in dealing with inaccurate press (even officials issued a statement denying Kate’s use of Botox in July 2019) , but both Harry and Meghan felt they had no access to that same privilege. “
