Prince William, Meghan Markle Clash During 2018 Tensions

Prince Harry's 2023 memoir, Spare, reveals a tense confrontation between Meghan Markle and Prince William in the weeks leading up to Harry and Meghan's 2018 wedding. The dispute reportedly began after Meghan made a comment about Princess Kate's 'baby brain,' prompting Kate to respond that they were "not close enough" for such remarks, referencing a phone conversation about her hormones. Prince William then confronted Meghan, leading to a heated exchange where Meghan told William, "Take your finger out of my face." The incident followed ongoing tensions between the couples, including disagreements over place cards and Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress, and resulted in Meghan being left in tears, although Kate later sent flowers to apologize. The memoir also details an alleged physical altercation between the brothers, with William calling Meghan "difficult," "rude," and "abrasive," and Harry accusing William of acting like an heir. These revelations underscore the strained relationships within the royal family around that period, with Harry emphasizing he does not want to dictate how others perceive the book's truths.
