Kensington Palace has issued a rare statement about a recent alleged argument between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.

Following The Sun’s report on Saturday that the Duchess of Cambridge got upset with the former actor over how she spoke to Middleton’s staff, a Kensington Palace spokesman denied the claim to the British paper.

“This never happened,” the spokesman said.

As reported in People, the palace does not usually respond to rumours and did not issue a statement regarding any other reports, including one that claimed Kate, 36, was “left in tears” following a fitting for her daughter, Princess Charlotte’s dress for Meghan’s nuptials to Prince Harry.

“Kate had only just given birth to Prince Louis and was feeling quite emotional — though just what upset her is unclear,” a source explained to veteran royals reporter Camilla Tominey of The Telegraph, according to People, which confirmed separately that the pre-wedding incident did happen.

The outlet also cited several insiders saying that at the time of Meghan and Harry’s wedding in May there was a considerable amount of “stress” for people who were involved.

Last month, Kensington Palace announced that Prince Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, are moving from Kensington Palace in central London to Frogmore Cottage, a house on the grounds of Windsor Estate, early next year, ahead of the anticipated birth of their first child.

“Windsor is a very special place for their royal highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate,” the palace said in a statement.

The move means that brothers Prince William, 36, and Prince Harry will no longer be living near each other, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will still keep their office at Kensington Palace, which is also home to the Cambridges.
