The Text Message Exchange
Kate reportedly wrote, “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home.” Meghan responded, “Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8 a.m. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?”
Kate declined this option, insisting, “No, all the dresses need to be remade,” and claimed her wedding designer had agreed. Harry recounted Meghan asking if Kate understood what was happening with her father at that moment. Kate said she did, but stressed, “The dresses and the wedding are in four days!”
Harry added, “[Kate] had problems with the way Meg was planning her wedding. Something about a party for the page boys? It went back and forth.” Meghan’s final text read, “I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit, then please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day.” Kate allegedly replied with a single word: “Fine.”
According to Harry, he returned home to find Meghan crying on the floor. The following day, Kate brought flowers and a card to apologize for the misunderstanding — something Meghan also confirmed in her Oprah interview.
From the “Fab Four” to Fractured Ties

Alongside Prince William and Harry, they were dubbed the “Fab Four” by the media, as they appeared to be a close-knit team. Today, however, their relationship remains strained, with the bridesmaid dress dispute standing as one of the most public signs of the rift.
