Meghan and Kate’s relationship was doomed from the start, with resentment that the then-Duchess of Cambridge’s wardrobe taking precedence over that of the Duchess of Sussex was evident early on, as reported today. .
During her career as an American actress, Meghan Markle fell in love with the clothes of British designer Erdem Morraul and has worn his dresses in several engagements since 2016 before entering royal life.
However, when it came to publicly engaging with Prince Harry, the Princess of Wales was said to be prioritized over Meghan Markle, as she was also an existing client.
New details of the pair’s relationship appeared last night in The Telegraph, the same paper that ran an exclusive interview with Prince Harry, who released his highly controversial memoir Spare last Tuesday. It was announced later.
The last time Meghan Markle wore the Erdem look to an official engagement was in 2019, when she wore this custom green court dress.
Meghan arrived at Westminster Abbey for Monday’s Commonwealth Day service, wearing a chain-print Victoria Beckham dress and an Erdem coat.
The Duchess of Cambridge was photographed in a stylish Erdem dress in October 2016.
Before meeting the Duke of Sussex, Meghan wore Erdem’s ‘Davina’ dress from the 2015 collection in early 2016 for an appearance on NBC’s Today program.
She was also seen wearing Erdem’s dress at a wedding in Jamaica in March 2017, and in his ‘Sebura’ dress around the time of the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto. .
But as royalty, Meghan didn’t publicly wear her favorite designer’s outfit until March 2019, reports The Telegraph.
The fact that the Canadian-born British designer’s looks were given to Kate first is said to have damaged the Sussexes’ reputation, with Meghan allegedly saying that Kate “wasn’t even a queen.” .
The dress story comes after an earlier alleged dispute between the pair over the bridesmaid dress for Harry and Meghan’s wedding, and reportedly an awkward first encounter with Cambridge.

Erdem Morarioglu is a favorite designer of the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan Markle wore a sheer black Erdem dress during an appearance on NBC’s Today in January 2016.
In a spare statement, Prince Harry claimed that one of the couple’s assistants was asked to resign over allegations that he was “trading” their position in order to obtain a free gift.
Kate and Meghan reportedly left the meeting in tears after it turned out that none of the dresses fit properly.
In another row, Prince Harry’s book Spare revealed that Meghan was keeping freebies given to her when she was a member of the royal family, presumably sharing them with Kensington Palace staff.
It is normal practice within the royal family to send back unsolicited gifts sent to the palace free of charge.
However, Harry admits in his book that Meghan not only received free gifts, but also gave them out to staff.
The Prince wrote: Harry said:
However, this has also allegedly caused problems, with Prince Harry asking for his resignation from Palace HR after showing evidence that one of his assistants “swapped his position with Meg for a free gift.” It is claimed that
His claims have been challenged, and members of the royal family are not allowed to receive gifts, except for “official” gifts on major occasions such as marriage or due to royal engagements.
There was also said to be some confusion over whether Meghan was given or “loaned” clothes and jewelry.
In one such incident, Meghan wore diamond earrings given to her by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as a wedding gift at a state banquet in 2018.
The palace claimed at the time that the earrings had been lent to the Duchess by Chopard, but were later found to be wedding gifts.
Kate was photographed in an Erdem dress at the Chelsea Flower Show in May 2019.
Shillings, Meghan’s attorney, said initially, “The Duchess never told staff that the earrings were ‘borrowed from a jeweler.’ There is no basis for the suggestion that he urged the
Two days later, Shillings added, “It’s possible,” Meghan said, referring to the fact that gifts to the royal family automatically become the property of the monarch, and that the earrings were borrowed.
Much attention was drawn to the fact that the earrings were worn just days after the Saudi government admitted to killing journalist Jamal Khasogi.
At the time, Harry and Meghan’s lawyers denied the Duchess ever said the earrings were on loan.
Things got off to a bad start between the two couples after Meghan Markle first met Kate in ripped jeans and no shoes.
She later revealed in the couple’s Netflix documentary that after meeting the couple, she was shocked by the level of “closed-door” format.
She used to hug Prince William when she met him, which allegedly ‘completely freaked him out’ [William] According to Spare.
Prince Harry gave an exclusive interview to The Telegraph published last night.
He also claimed that his family was treating him as if he was “paranoid and delusional” after Meghan Markle made a series of explosive allegations in his new book. He asked the royal family to apologize.
The prince said: “You know what you did, and I now know why you did it. And you were caught, so come clean.
It’s not clear why Harry wants his family to apologize to his wife, but he claimed he was fighting “the good fight” by taking Meghan’s side.
He argued that if “people had listened to his concerns sooner,” the chasm between him and Meghan and the rest of the royal family wouldn’t have been so great.
The Duke of Sussex added that he could not understand why it was considered “shocking and outrageous” to say that what he said was the “truth” of the story.
About his family he said: Kind of like some accountability. And an apology to his wife.”
A representative for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has reached out for comment.
