More than two years after the release of Spare, Prince Harry’s explosive memoir is still sparking debate — especially over one claim involving Prince William and Princess Catherine.

In the bestseller, Harry recounted moments of deep tension between himself, Meghan Markle, and the rest of the royal family. Among the claims was that Catherine had reduced Meghan to tears during a disagreement over a bridesmaid’s dress for Princess Charlotte. Harry wrote that he found Meghan “sobbing on the floor” and that Kate later delivered flowers and a card to apologise.

British tabloids, however, ran a very different version at the time — alleging it was Meghan who had made Kate cry.

The Confrontation

According to Spare, the couples later met to clear the air. Harry said Catherine admitted that the media version was false, telling Meghan: “I know, Meghan, that I was the one who made you cry.”
