Harry reveals Middleton\Markle spat was over rude remark, not flower girl dresses as actress told Oprah

In yet another revelation from Prince Harry’s upcoming tell-all book, the emasculated British royal dished that spouse Meghan Markle misled viewers during the couple’s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, not revealing the entire reason for a nasty falling out with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.

In his hotly anticipated memoir “Spare” which is generating boatloads of buzz in the press, the Duke of Sussex divulged that while the social-climbing D-list actress told Winfrey that the spat was due to a disagreement over flower girl dresses at their opulent 2018 wedding, Middleton was really miffed over an insulting remark from Markle who told her that she must have “baby brain because of her hormones,” a remark that didn’t sit well with the family who was aghast at the audacity of the American interloper.

The Mayo Clinic describes “Baby Brain” as a term used referring to “memory problems, poor concentration and absent-mindedness reported by many women during pregnancy and early motherhood.” Middleton had given birth to her and Prince William’s third child a month ahead of Harry and Markle’s wedding at London’s historic St. George’s Chapel.

According to a “well-placed source” who spoke with the Daily Mail, in his book, Harry writes that Markle was reprimanded, being told that she wasn’t close enough to Middleton to make such a personal comment about her hormones.

“In the book Harry says that there was a discussion about the timing of the wedding rehearsal and the flower girl dresses and Kate was very upset,” according to the outlet. “Meghan said that Kate must have ‘baby brain’ because of her hormones.”

“It caused a huge row because Meghan was told that she wasn’t close enough to her sister-in-law to discuss her hormones and it wasn’t the way people spoke to each other within the Royal Family,” the Daily Mail reported. “The book makes clear that Meghan felt the fall-out wasn’t her fault, but it doesn’t exactly make her look very good either.”

During the interview with Oprah, Markle didn’t mention her “baby brain” quip but did speak of rumors that she drove Middleton to tears prior to the Royal wedding, telling the talk show queen that the “reverse happened’ and that it was a “turning point.”

Markle said that the feud stemmed from Kate crying at the wedding “didn’t happen,” explaining that prior to the soiree that Middleton was upset over a flower girl dress that her daughter, Princess Charlotte, was supposed to wear.

“It made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” Markle said, playing the victim “And I thought in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding that it didn’t make sense to not be just doing whatever everyone else was doing, which was trying to be supportive.”

Advance sales are off the chart for “Spare” which officially hits bookshelves on Tuesday, and according to the Daily Mail, they won’t be disappointed with the gossipy account set to include details on the often adversarial relationship between the two Royal brothers.

“A source said: ‘Harry doesn’t hold back on William, He writes that Harry told him: ‘Meg is difficult, she’s rude, she’s abrasive. She’s been rude to the staff,'” the outlet reported. “‘Harry says that William called him names, that he wanted Harry to agree with him but that he became enraged when Harry ‘had the audacity not to follow the script’. William grabbed him by the collar, ripping his necklace and pushed him to the floor.”

“It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last,” reads the Amazon promo for the book. “With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”
