But it’s already causing a big headache, as neither Kate nor Meghan seem interested in that outcome. Kate feels very strongly about staying out of it all. As far as she is concerned, she’s been through enough, while Meghan’s checked out of the royal drama and doesn’t see the point in moving backwards.”
Past Clashes and Public Revelations
In her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan claimed Kate reduced her to tears during a disagreement over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress for her wedding to Harry in 2018. She also alleged she had been “silenced” by the royal family and told not to respond to false press stories.
In Spare, Harry detailed another dispute, saying Kate reacted negatively when Meghan joked she had “baby brain,” reportedly telling her sister-in-law she “was owed an apology” and adding, “we’re not close enough for you to talk about my hormones.”
Harry also recounted an “awkward moment backstage” at the inaugural Royal Foundation Forum in February 2018, when Meghan asked to borrow Kate’s lip gloss — a gesture Harry described as “an American thing.” He said Kate “grimaced,” calling it perhaps a “small clash of styles” that unfortunately “left a little mark.”
From “The Fab Four” to Separate Paths
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 — a move often referred to as “Megxit” — Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royal family has been marked by ongoing tensions.
Before the rift, the two couples were frequently seen together at events such as Wimbledon in 2018 and 2019, earning them the nickname “The Fab Four.”
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan declined to comment on the latest reports.
