Kate Middleton has shut down a Tatler article that claims she and Meghan Markle had a fight over bridesmaids’ tights before the royal wedding.

The Duchess of Cambridge is featured on the cover of the magazine’s July/August issue, accompanied by interviews with royal sources and family friends.

One anonymous source, who the publication cites as a friend of the Cambridges’, told the publication: “Then there was an incident at the wedding rehearsal.

“It was a hot day and apparently there was a row over whether the bridesmaids should wear tights or not. Kate, following protocol, felt that they should. Meghan didn’t want them to,” they added.

“The photographs suggest that Meghan won,” wrote Tatler’s Anna Pasternak.

“Kate, who has impeccable manners, sought the opportunity to put Meghan in her place, reprimanding her for speaking imperiously to her Kensington Palace staff,” she added.

Markle’s bridesmaids included: Princess Charlotte (Middleton’s daughter), Florence van Cutsem (Prince Harry’s goddaughter), Remi Litt and Rylan Litt (Markle’s goddaughters), Ivy Mulroney (daughter of Markle’s friend Jessica Mulroney), and Zalie Warren (Prince Harry’s goddaughter).

Another family friend spoke to Tatler, saying that Markle and Harry were “selfish” to resign from their royal duties, as this has reportedly had a major impact on Middleton and Prince William’s workload.

“Meghan and Harry have been so selfish. William and Catherine really wanted to be hands-on parents and the Sussexes have effectively thrown their three children under a bus. There goes their morning school runs as the responsibilities on them now are enormous,” they said.

However, in a statement obtained by Insider, a Kensington Palace spokesperson said: “This story contains a swathe of inaccuracies and false misrepresentations which were not put to Kensington Palace prior to publication.”
