Meghan Markle ended up at odds with prospective sister-in-law Kate Middleton while training for her royal wedding – because of a fight they had for wearing tight pants, a friend said.
Markle and his royal boyfriend Prince Harry were already annoyed with his brother, Prince William, and his wife for failing to welcome the “Suit” actress into the royal household, a close friend said Tatler magazine.
But the final straw came with “an incident at the wedding dress rehearsal” for Harry and Meghan who were eagerly awaiting the royal wedding in 2018, the friend said about the quarrel that many believed was finally leading to Megxit.
“It was a hot day and there seems to be a fight over whether bridesmaids should wear tight pants or not,” a friend of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge told mag for the cover story.
“Kate, following the protocol, feels that they have to do it. Meghan doesn’t want it,” the friend insisted.
Markle won, apparently – with photos from his big day at Windsor Castle showing barefoot bridesmaids.
The Sun previously reported Meghan left Kate crying with her demands for what her daughter, Princess Charlotte, needed to wear for the wedding.

At that stage, Harry was already “hurt and angry” at how his future wife was treated, especially by his brother-in-law, his friends said.
“I don’t think that he ever pulled Meghan under his wing and said, ‘I will show you the rope,'” a friend told a high society magazine. “William correctly warned Harry to slow down the relationship. That’s why they all fell. “
Kensington Palace released a rare statement on the article, attacking it because of “inaccuracies and misrepresentations” with sources telling People that the main anger was at Kate’s suggestion of feeling overwhelmed and resentful of the heavier post-Megxit workload.
Tatler released his own statement, saying “standing behind reporting,” which was asked by Kensington Palace to try to “work together.”
