Kate Middleton was “mortified” by the statement of her wide-lipped sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, that the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry – and it is not even clear that this is exactly what happened, says a royal expert.
Markle said last week during her explosive television meeting with Oprah Winfrey that Middleton shed tears over the flower girl dresses Markle chose for her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.
Middleton was horrified that Markle said publicly that he had made her cry because Kate “never wanted any suggestions in the press about a breakup with Meghan,” King Katie Nicholl’s author told OK! magazine.
“Kate is so discreet and respects her personal life. You never hear of her falling in love with someone, because she is very careful about how she treats others, ”Nicholl said.
“So it is very difficult for this story to circulate.
“It simply came to our notice then [the incident] it was all sorted out, so being brought back was mortifying. ”
To make matters worse, Meghan and Harry know that Middleton is “unable to respond” to the request – which has not been publicly verified by anyone else, the Buckingham Palace expert added.
“From what I’ve heard, there are different versions of the bridesmaid’s story, not just the one Meghan talked about,” Nicholl said.
Markle told Oprah that while the media stories portrayed her as a villain at the time, saying she made Middleton cry, the “reverse” happened.
The two duchesses had a tiff about Markle’s flower girl dresses, “and it made me cry and hurt my feelings,” Meghan said.
“It was a very difficult week of the wedding and [Middleton] she was upset about something, but she owned it and apologized and brought me flowers and a ticket, ”Markle added.
The Duchess of Sussex and her husband Harry continued to drop other bombs, including that an unnamed royal made a racist comment to the prince asking how dark their son Archie’s skin would be, given that Markle’s mother is black.
Harry also claimed that his brother, Kate’s husband, Prince William, their father, Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II’s grandmother are all “caught” in their royal life and that his relationship with his brother and father is troubled.
Nicholl said that behind closed doors, Middleton was “saddened, disappointed and hurt” by the couple’s comments.
“Kate and William feel that they have received Meghan and Harry enormously. Any charges against the monarchy are charges against their family. It is painful and they feel disappointed “, said the expert. “Obviously, I still love Harry and Meghan, but this interview has feathers.
“William is extremely livid with his brother,” Nicholl added. “He, Charles and the queen had crisis discussions in the days following the interview on how to proceed.
“It is well documented that the brothers were taking steps to reconcile their once-close relationship, but sources said William considered the Oprah interview to be the last break.”
However, “despite the anger, they both want to resolve this dispute,” she said.
