Kate Middleton Reacts On The Reason Behind Her Alleged Spat With Meghan Markle
Rumors about the feud between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have been swirling for a long while. As it remains to be a big mystery as to what ignited the alleged rift, there are claims that it has something to do with the tights that the bridesmaids should wear at the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry's wedding in 2018.
Although Kate Middleton already shut down the claim, a publication stood by its case. So, did the two duchesses really argue because of the said garment?
In the latest cover story of the Tatler about Prince William's wife, it revealed that two women's spat began on whether Princess Charlotte and other young bridesmaids at the 2018 royal wedding should wear tights or not. Titled Catherine the Great, it quoted a mystery friend who said Prince William's wife wanted to follow the royal protocol of letting the bridesmaids wear stockings, but the former actress disagreed.
The source revealed that an incident happened at the wedding rehearsal. In the middle of a hot day, there was said to be a row over following a rule of making the bridesmaids wear tights.
As a loyal follower of royal protocols, Kate Middleton felt that they should let the children wear tights. However, Meghan Markle, reportedly, did not want them to do so.
According to Daily Mail, in the pictures from the royal wedding at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, it showed the six bridesmaids not wearing tights. Compared to Prince William and the future queen consort's photos from their nuptial in 2011, the young girls all had the nylons on.
Later, Kate Middleton shut down the article's claim, issuing an official statement, as obtained by Insider, from Kensington Palace. A spokesperson said that the story contains a "swathe of inaccuracies and false misrepresentations." It asserted that this information was not put to Kensington Palace before it was published.
Tatler then explained that the Kensington Palace was fully aware of the story it did before its publication. Its spokesman stressed that its editor-in-chief Richard Dennen stood behind the story of its writer, Anna Pasternak, and her sources.
It explained that Kensington Palace knew that it was doing the Catherine the Great cover months ago, and it even asked them to work together on it. Hence, the fact that they denied they never knew anything about it was "categorically false." So, it stood by its claim that Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's spat started with tights.
