Meghan Markle and Harry’s wedding was truly something amazing. The special day in May 2018 at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle will be a memory for the rest of their lives.
But the weeks leading up to the wedding was pretty shocking, at least recording to reports. Meghan and Kate made each other cry at the dress rehearsals.
And now, new reports states that the Queen became very frustrated with Harry’s ‘rude language’ before the wedding. In fact, she was so angry that she demanded a sit down between the two, according to a Royal expert.
Harry and Meghan Markle have made huge changes in their lives, compared to when they got married.
Harry & Meghan’s love story
The couple welcomed two children, and now, they have both started new careers in the U.S.
However, 2021 has been a year full of drama. The Oprah Winfrey interview put both Meghan and Harry in a bad place with the Firm, and their relationship worsened.
The relationship between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Royal family is ice cold. And they’ve been like that for awhile, especially between Meghan and Kate.
But first, let’s take a look on how the couple got all the way to the church.
In July of 2016, a friend set up a blind date between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and it was a smash-hit.
“I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her,” Harry told Vogue. “I was like, I’m really going to have to up my game here.”
A few weeks later, Harry took Meghan to Botswana, where their relationship really took off.
Botswana would hold special significance just a few years later, as Markle’s center piece diamond in her three-stone engagement ring would come from the country.
Wedding in 2018
“We were really by ourselves, which was crucial to me to make sure we had a chance to get to know each other,” Harry explained.
Up until this point, everything was going amazingly well regarding Meghan’s private life. She had always very close with her father, all throughout her childhood, as well as through college. He helped her pay tuition, as well as helped her land the role on General Hospital.
In short, he supported her the best he could. However, that changed as Thomas Markle and Meghan got into a bitter feud before the wedding.
In November 2017, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced through the British Royal Family that they were engaged.
The wedding of Meghan Markle and Harry took place on May 19, 2018, with the service being held at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
From the outside, the wedding of Meghan and Harry was pictured as the perfect wedding. But hosting such a huge event also comes with a lot of stress, especially for the bride and groom.
And despite their status, that was the case for Meghan and Harry as well.
Reports surfaced that Meghan made Kate cry days before the wedding. Apparently, this was said to have happened during rehearsals, and it was allegedly over guidelines on what Princess Charlotte could wear as a flower girl.
Meghan Markle & Kate Middleton
Representatives from the Firm didn’t deny the claim. However, during the Oprah Winfrey interview, Meghan decided to speak out about it.
According to Meghan, the opposite happened.
Meghan Markle claimed that Kate was the one who made her cry, which left the latter fuming.
A US Weekly source said that Kate and William were in “total shock” after hearing what had been said about them. Another source said that Kate would “never forgive Meghan for throwing shade at her.”
“The interview was the final nail, it’s over. Meghan burned all of her bridges and Kate has no interest in speaking to her,” the source told US Weekly.
Kate was said to have been “furious” with Meghan regarding the claims about the tears during the dress rehearsals for Meghan’s wedding.
Meghan & Kate ‘feud’
“First and foremost, William cannot countenance the way Meghan has treated his wife. He feels Kate tried at the beginning, but it was never enough,” a senior royal source told the MailOnline in April.
The source added: “To name Kate so publicly during the Oprah interview as the person who made her cry was beyond the pale. Meghan would have been acutely aware that Kate is powerless to fight back.”
Things seem to be better between Meghan and Kate. Following the birth of Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Kate expressed that she was looking forward to meeting the family of four who now live in the U.S.
Time will tell if Kate and Meghan will once again become good friends. But the emotions and reported crying before the wedding wasn’t the only thing that went down involving Harry and Meghan.
The Queen also became very irritated with Harry for one particular reason.
When it comes to a wedding, you want everything to be perfect: clothing, music, food, guest list, placement at the tables. You name it.
Meghan’s tiara drama
For the wedding, Meghan wore a dress made by British designer Clare Waight Keller under the Givenchy label. But as a royal, there are more things which also are important.
For example, the tiara, which became a very controversial subject within the Royal Family, according to Royal author Omid Scobie.
Meghan wore Queen Mary’s beautiful diamond tiara for the big day. However, it was a very stressful subject, with the Queen being stressed and upset.
Meghan and the Queen did get along however, and they both were very happy following a meeting regarding the tiara.
But it wasn’t all great, according to Scobie. Speaking with True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat, he said that there were a couple of very stressful weeks before the wedding. The Queen’s dressmaker as well as close friend, Angela Kelly, apparently made things very tricky when it came to arranging practice fittings.
“The drama took place afterwards when Meghan wanted to try that tiara on with her hairstylist, because there is a lot of tech that goes into this,” he said, as quoted by Express.
“They had to do an experiment with that before the wedding day. The hairstylist came in from overseas, there was an appointment at Buckingham Palace, but nobody was there.”
“I don’t know what the hell is going on”
Meghan struggled to arrange a booking, and that’s when Harry decided to step in and save the day. But things got heated when Harry called the Queen for help.
“Each time Angela Kelly was not available to arrange this, to facilitate this, despite agreeing to,” Omid Scobie said.
“It got to the point where staff around Harry and Meghan were tearing their hair out because the wedding was a couple of weeks away, months had passed at this point.”
He added, “Harry had to intervene. He called his grandmother and said, ‘I don’t know what the hell is going on, but this woman needs to make this work for my future wife’. Harry felt that there were those within the institution that would stop at nothing to at the very least to make Meghan’s life difficult.
Meghan didn’t get to try the tiara until just days before the weeding. According to Scobie, Angela Kelly was left heartbroken by reports that she hadn’t cooperated with the couple. However, she didn’t say anything out of fear of upsetting the Firm.
Queen left furious with Harry
Harry wanted to step in to try and help his beloved wife. But his reaction left the Queen furious.
Speaking to the Mail, a royal source said, “Angela essentially said, ‘I’m very sorry, that’s not how it works.’ There’s protocol in place over these jewels.”
“They’re kept under very tight lock and key. You can’t turn up and demand to have the tiara just because your hairdresser happens to be in town.”
The source further claimed that Harry’s “rude language” in his response forced her to take action, and pulled her grandson into a private meeting.
“He was put firmly in his place. He had been downright rude.”
Following the royal marriage, they lived at Kensington Palace for a short while, however that residence was actually Kate Middleton and Prince William’s home.
“It’s in the grounds of Kensington Palace, and it’s quite small,” royal author Tom Quinn said. “It’s tiny compared to the enormous double apartment that Kate and William have.”
A short while later the couple moved into their own private residence. But even though it was supposed to be a happy period, things turned ugly quite fast.
Meghan wasn’t ‘in first division’
Instead, Harry and Meghan moved into Nottingham Cottage, not far from Kate and William. But it was at this point their relationship worsened, for several reasons, according to Quinn.
Meghan had a hard time reconciling that Kensington Palace was reserved solely for William and Kate. At the same time, a royal senior aide told her that she’d never be “in first division.”
“It was being pointed out to them in no uncertain terms that they weren’t in the first division, because that place is held by William and Kate. Inevitably that led to friction,” Quinn claims.
“In Meghan’s world, if you’re determined enough, you can get to the top. But Meghan can’t, she can’t get to the top whatever she does.”
After a short stay, Harry and Meghan and moved into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. These days, they’ve settled in Montecito, just outside Santa Barbara, California.
The area is an escape for many Hollywood stars tired of the hectic lifestyle in Los Angeles. Meghan and Harry bought their $14 million dollar house last year, and neighbors include Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ellen DeGeneres.
Meghan & Harry – daughter Lilibet
On June 4, 2021 the couple announced the wonderful news that their daughter had arrived.
A spokesperson for the couple said: “It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world.
People from all over the world sent their congratulations to Harry and Meghan following Lilibet’s birth. This including the Royal Family and all of its members.
Through their official Instagram account, Kate Middleton and William sent their wishes, saying: “We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili. Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie.”
Even though Kate and Meghan’s relation has been chilly for the last number of months, it seems as they will get along once they meet. When visiting a UK primary school alongside first lady Jill Biden before the G7 meeting, the press spoke with Kate.
“I wish her all the very best. I can’t wait to meet her,” Kate Middleton said when asked about Meghan.
“We haven’t met her yet, so hopefully that will be soon.”
