Kate Middleton ‘outraged and hurt’ by Prince Harry’s book allegations

The Princess of Wales is allegedly very upset by the many allegations made against her by her once-close brother-in-law, Prince Harry.

Prince Harry says relationship with William became “Meghan vs Kate”

Kate Middleton is allegedly very upset by the allegations made against her in Prince Harry’s explosive new memoir, Spare.

The Princess of Wales is “outraged and hurt”, Tom Bower, author of Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, tells Page Six of the stories, which include a now-infamous feud over bridesmaid dresses.

In the book, out January 11 in Australia, the Duke of Sussex details the frosty relationship between his wife, Meghan Markle, and his sister-in-law.

Harry claims that at one point, Middleton wanted all the bridesmaid dresses to be remade four days before the wedding because Charlotte’s didn’t fit properly.

Eventually, she agreed to visit Meghan’s tailor to have it altered, but Harry writes that he later found his then-fiancee in tears “on the floor” following the altercation. The next day, he continued, Kate brought over flowers and a card and apologised.

He also alleges that Meghan was reprimanded for telling Kate – who had just given birth to Prince Louis – that she “must have baby brains because of her hormones” amid a tiff.

The criticism of his sister-in-law doesn’t stop at serious subjects but also seemingly mundane things like the etiquette of borrowing makeup.

The Duke alleges that Kate was not happy when Meghan asked to borrow her lip gloss before the foursome’s Royal Foundation Forum appearance in 2018.

“Kate, taken aback, went into her handbag and reluctantly pulled out a small tube,” Harry wrote. “Meg squeezed some onto her finger and applied it to her lips. Kate grimaced.”

Bower labels the attacks “grotesquely gutter” and “disgraceful,” noting that the book was finished when Prince Harry attended the Queen’s funeral last September.

“The deception of Harry at the Queen’s funeral knowing what he’d written about Kate and William and his father, without giving a hint of what was to come, it’s just unbelievable,” he said.

Bower also noted that Meghan may also have a tell-all book in the works, so “this is the way they’re going to make their money for some time now”.

The palace told Page Six last week that it would not be commenting on any of the allegations in the book.
