As the Meghan-Kate spat continues to create controversies, Prince Harry in his memoir Spare spoke in detail about the much-debated bridesmaid dress row between the two.
In the book, Harry mentions that just before their marriage in May 2018, there was an exchange of texts between Kate and Meghan regarding the gown Prince William and Kate's daughter Charlotte would wear at the service held at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

Kate was seemingly not willing at first to meet Meghan's tailor at Kensington Palace to have the dress resized, as the changes needed were too many and all the bridesmaids' gowns had to be remade.
Harry said "Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father.
"Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!"
