This revelation made the entire royal family, especially Kate, highly uncomfortable. Meghan has faced allegations of bullying in the past, but Tom Bauer's recent book, "Revenge," contains even more damning claims. Bauer, an investigative journalist, asserts that Meghan targeted three-year-old Princess Charlotte during a bridesmaid fitting, causing Kate Middleton to break down in tears.
Kate reportedly requested Meghan to permit the three-year-old to wear tights with the ill-fitting shoes to prevent blisters, but her plea went unanswered. Meghan later reversed the narrative in her notorious interview with Oprah, claiming that Kate had made her cry during the disagreement.
Bauer's new book corroborates the original claims that Meghan reduced Kate to tears over the length of Charlotte's dress. Additionally, the book alleges that Meghan unfavorably compared Princess Charlotte to her best friend Jessica Mulroney's daughter, who was also a flower girl at the wedding.
This further strained Meghan's relationship with her sister-in-law, as Kate had recently given birth to Prince Louis and was too exhausted to deal with Meghan's unwillingness to compromise.
Meghan has consistently denied any allegations of bullying throughout her public life. While it remains unclear whose version of events is accurate, it is evident that tensions between the Duchess and her sister-in-law, Kate, were strained during this period. One thing is certain: when someone shows you who they are for the first time, believe them. Meghan was observed offering a comforting smile to her niece, Princess Charlotte, during Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
The royal family gathered at Westminster Abbey for the state funeral service, honoring the late monarch who passed away on September 8 at the age of 96. Meghan, wiping away tears, stood alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort, and the Princess of Wales. Charlotte, the seven-year-old, was seen briefly turning to look at Meghan, who responded with a brief smile, despite the somber occasion. Charlotte wore an all-black ensemble in tribute to her great-grandmother, matching her mother's attire, while also wearing a horseshoe-shaped brooch on her dress.
