Reports circulated ahead of the Sussexes’ nuptials that Meghan Markle left Kate Middleton in tears at Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fitting – but the Duchess told Oprah Winfrey in an explosive interview that “the reverse” happened. Meghan said Kate apologised and bought her flowers, adding that she has forgiven her. However, royal expert Valentine Low said Kate’s apology was met with the door being shut in her face.

Speaking to 60 minutes Australia, Mr Low said: “The flower girl incident with Kate and who made who cry.

“There was a fitting for the bridesmaids’ dresses, there was some kind of row between Meghan and Kate and as far as I know Kate left in tears.

“Apparently the next day Kate went round with flowers as a peace offering and Meghan shut the door in her face.

“Certainly all the accounts I’ve heard involved Kate crying.

“Maybe Meghan cried too, maybe they both cried but that to me sounded like score-settling.”

Meghan said she was not sharing the information to be “disparaging” – and described Kate as a “good person” – but added it was “really important for people to understand the truth”.

She said: “I’m not sharing that piece about Kate in any way to be disparaging to her.

“I think it’s really important for people to understand the truth, but also I think a lot of it was fed into by the media, and look, I would hope that she would have wanted that corrected, and maybe in the same way that the palace wouldn’t let anybody else negate it, they wouldn’t let her because she’s a good person.

“And I think so much of what I have seen play out is this idea of polarity, where if you love me, you don’t have to hate her.

“And if you love her. You don’t need to hate me.”

Camilla Tominey, the Daily Telegraph’s associate editor, first reported Meghan had “made Kate cry during a bridesmaid’s dress fitting for Princess Charlotte” in November 2018.

However writing for the Daily Telegraph Ms Tominey stood by her story and claimed to have defended the Duchess from criticism.

She wrote: “As I told Philip Schofield on This Morning the following day [after the Oprah interview], ‘I don’t write things I don’t believe to be true and that haven’t been really well sourced’.

“Having seemingly been completely bowled over by Meghan’s version of events, Schofe then went for the jugular: ‘I have to say, though, that’s all addressed in that interview, isn’t it, because she couldn’t understand why nobody stood up for her?’

“Yet someone had stood up for her, on that very same This Morning sofa: me.

“As I told Phil and Holly on January 14, 2019, as more reports of ‘Duchess Difficult’ started to emerge, ‘I think she is doing really well, she looks amazing, she speaks well. She has played a blinder.”
