During her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle set the record straight about reports that she had made Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, cry leading up to her wedding. Instead, Meghan claimed that it was actually Kate who had made her cry because of an issue with the flower girl dresses. So, to quote Oprah herself, what is the truth? Let's take a closer look at Meghan Markle's flower girl dresses to find out.
"A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something — about flower girl dresses — and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings," Meghan shared with Oprah. Kate later apologized with flowers and a personal note, and all was forgiven until a tabloid broke the story six months later, alleging that Kate had left the flower girl fitting in tears.
The reason for the fight, tabloids would later claim, wasn't about the Givenchy dresses, but the tights. Yes, hosiery tore the sisters-in-law apart. Per the British tabloid Tatler, Kate had wanted the flower girls, which included her daughter Charlotte, to wear tights, as is royal protocol, but Meghan thought it was too hot. (Gotta say, I'm team Meghan on this one. Forcing small children to wear tights on a hot day is cruel and also just begging for them to reach up and pull at their crotch in front of the entire world.)
