Kate Middleton Reportedly Mortified When Meghan Markle Talked About Rumored Rift In Oprah Winfrey Interview
Royal expert Katie Nicholl weighed in on Meghan Markle's claim about the rift between her and Kate Middleton over bridesmaids' dresses in her royal wedding to Prince Harry. According to the Vanity Fair royal editor and author, the Duchess of Cambridge had a "very hard few days" but still turned up to her commitments.
"People did notice that she appeared downcast and subdued. Behind closed doors she has been saddened, disappointed and hurt," Nicholl told OK! magazine about Middleton.
"From what I hear, there are different versions of the bridesmaid story, not just the one Meghan discussed. Kate felt it was all sorted, so to have it brought up again was mortifying. Kate is not in a position to respond and Meghan and Harry know that" the author of Kate: The Future Queen added.
Nicholl added that the future queen consort "never wanted any suggestion of a rift with Markle to come out in the press." Thus, it was hard for her that the news about them was making rounds in the press
The royal biographer said Prince William's wife is "discreet and respects her personal life." She also doesn't have any falling out with anyone because she treats others carefully.
"Kate and William both feel they were hugely welcoming to Meghan and Harry. Any accusations against the monarchy are accusations against their family. It’s hurtful and they feel let down. Obviously, they still love Harry and Meghan, but this interview has ruffled feathers," Nicholl added.
