A misunderstanding? Kate Middleton reportedly does not think that Meghan Markle told the whole story about the flower girls’ dresses incident during her and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“Kate is caught between a rock and a hard place,” a source said. “She wants to speak up and help the crown rebuild their image, but she is not one for confrontation nor escalation. Kate will eventually speak out about some of the bombshells dropped by Meghan, especially the crying incident.”

“She didn’t like that she was called out by name when many of the other members of the royal family were not,” an insider explained. “Kate also did not like the implications that she and other members of the royal family were jealous of Meghan, that was never the case.”
“The narrative with Kate, it didn’t happen,” Markle told Winfrey after reports alleged that the Suits actress made Middleton cry before her 2018 wedding as Princess Charlotte was a flower girl on the day.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something,” Meghan said. “The issue was correct — about flower girl dresses… And it made me cry. It really hurt my feelings. … What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn’t do but that happened to me. Everyone in the institution knew it wasn’t true.”
“I’m not sharing that piece about Kate in any way to be disparaging to her. I think it’s really important for people to understand the truth,” Markle said as the story was the beginning of her “character assassination.”

“He did not tell me who were a part of those conversations, as you can see I tried to get that answer, on camera and off,” Winfrey told Gayle King.
During the interview, the Sussexes also alleged that “lack of support” was one of the things that pushed them to step back as senior royals and Markle had even felt suicidal.
