Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once had a huge “misunderstanding” with the Prince and Princess of Wales over their Easter arrangements, the Duke of Sussex claimed. Writing in his bombshell memoir Spare, Harry recalled how he and Meghan had been invited<\/a> by Kate, 43, and William, 42, for tea at Nottingham Cottage back in 2018.<\/p>\n

According to Harry<\/a>, 40, the plans were made to establish why Meghan<\/a>, 43, and Kate had “got off on the wrong foot”<\/a>. Speaking of the arrangements, Harry wrote: “For 10 minutes we did the classic small talk. How are the kids? How was your honeymoon?”<\/p>\n

Harry then added: “Meg then acknowledged the tension among the four of us and ventured that it might go back to those early days when she’d first joined the family – a misunderstanding that had almost passed without notice. Kate<\/a> thought Meg had wanted her fashion contacts. But Meg had her own.”<\/p>\n

Harry then continued: “They’d got off on the wrong foot perhaps? And then, Meg added, everything got magnified by the wedding, and those infernal bridesmaids’ dresses.” Elsewhere in his book, the Duke of Sussex spoke about tensions between the Duchess of Sussex and now Princess of Wales in the run-up to the Sussexes’ weddings over Princess Charlotte and other flower girls’ dresses.<\/p>\n

Something else had been bothering Kate and William<\/a>, however, according to the duke. Harry added: “But it turned out there were other things… about which we’d been unaware. Willy and Kate were apparently upset that we hadn’t given them Easter presents.<\/p>\n

“Easter presents? Was that a thing? Willy and I had never exchanged Easter presents.” The duke went on to share how their father King Charles had “always made a big deal” about the spring festivity, but the brothers had not taken after him. He added: “Still, if Willy and Kate were upset, we apologised.”<\/p>\n

Another bone of contention, this time put forward by the Sussexes, was dating back to Meghan and Harry’s May 2018 nuptials, the duke said.<\/p>\n

While the Sussexes had followed the American tradition of placing couple together in their seating plan, Princess Kate and Prince William<\/a>, he said, “switched place cards and changed seats at our wedding” because they “didn’t like that tradition”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once had a huge “misunderstanding” with the Prince and Princess of Wales over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[1281,447,532,8606,2831,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-15323","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-meghan-markle","9":"tag-prince-harry","10":"tag-prince-william","11":"tag-princess-kate","12":"tag-princess-of-wales","13":"tag-royal","14":"tag-royal-families","15":"tag-royal-family","16":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114328254003250464","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
