Royal Family news surfaced in 2018 in the British Press of Meghan making Kate cry just days before the wedding, and for about 3 years, the story remained so. But now, Meghan’s decided to tell her own the story, and it seems she got the perfect platform for it- an Oprah interview aired on CBS.
There were a lot of shocking revelations that were disclosed during the 2-hour show, and a lot of it were quickly refuted by evidences, but the “one story” that Meghan seems to have a backing on was the fact that instead of she being the cause of Kate crying, it had actually been the opposite. She also said that she’d been asking the Royal Family to correct the news, but that no one did anything about it.
Leaked Emails Meghan Markle Sent To The Palace
After Meghan’s comments on the interview, a close friend of hers, Janina Gavankar, explained to Britain’s This Morning that there really were “many emails and texts” documenting the Palace’s mistreatment of the Duchess of Sussex, and recently, Royal Reporter Omid Scobie seems to have published the very first. The email was said to be written by Meghan who was trying to get the Palace to correct the false wedding story.
According to Omid Scobie, it all started in January 2020 (the month Meghan and Harry officially announced that they were stepping back from their senior royal family roles), “Kensington Palace urgently requested that Prince Harry cosign a statement against an ‘offensive’ newspaper report stating Prince William ‘constantly bullied’ the Sussexes before their decision to step away.”

He then unveiled a piece that Meghan allegedly wrote in reply to the statement, according to what a source from his revealed to him, “Well, if we’re just throwing any statement out there now, then perhaps KP can finally set the record straight about me [not making Kate cry].” According to Scobie, the suggestion was ignored like many other requests made by the couple. He also added that “The Duchess of Cambridge… should never be dragged into idle gossip.”
Meghan’s Stance In Her Oprah Interview
In the now-famous interview, Meghan told Oprah, “No. [I didn’t make her cry]. No, no, the reverse happened. And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized, and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone. To just take accountability for it.”
She continued, “What was shocking was, what was that, six, seven months after our wedding, the reverse of that would be in the world [the story suggesting Meghan made Kate cry]. I would’ve never wanted that to come out about her ever even though it had happened. I protected that from ever being out in the world. A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining, yes, the issue was correct about flower girl dresses, and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings, and I thought in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding that it didn’t make sense to not be just doing what everyone else was doing, which was try to be supportive, knowing what was going on with my dad and whatnot.

“There wasn’t a confrontation, and I actually think it’s… I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details of that because she apologized and I’ve forgiven her. What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn’t do but that happened to me and the people that were a part of my wedding going to my comms team, saying, I know this didn’t happen. I don’t have to tell them what actually happened, but I can at least go on the record saying, ‘she didn’t make her cry.’ 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, but also I think a lot of it that was fed into by the media.”
She also expressed her hopes that Kate would’ve wanted her to correct the misconception, and maybe could have done it herself if the Palace allowed her because, according to Meghan, she’s a good person. She rounded it up by saying, “I think so much of what I have seen play out was this idea of polarity where if you don’t love me you don’t have to hate her, and if you love her, you don’t need to hate me.”
