Prince Harry reveals tense text message exchange between Meghan and Kate in bridesmaid dress row

Prince Harry has revealed a series of tense text messages between his wife Meghan Markle and sister-in-law Kate Middleton in a row over a bridesmaid dress for the couple's 2018 wedding.

In his new memoir Spare, Harry claims that Kate was not happy that she had to wait a day to hear back from Meghan about getting Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress adjusted. The stress of juggling the issue alongside dealing with the "chaos" caused by her father Thomas Markle ahead of the big day caused Meghan to end up "sobbing on the floor", the Duke of Sussex added.

According to Harry, Kate felt Meghan's suggestion that Charlotte's dress be brought to a tailor on standby at Kensington Palace to be altered "wasn't sufficient". When Kate told Meghan that her daughter had been left in tears by the state of her dress, a tense row erupted between the pair over text which has been detailed by Harry in his book, The Mirror reports.
