During her Oprah interview, Meghan clarified that it was Kate who made her cry during a disagreement over bridesmaid dresses, not the other way around as had been reported.
Meghan added that Kate apologized and she forgave her, showing the conflict was resolved privately.
The public received a glimpse into the sisters-in-law’s relationship through Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” released in January 2023.
In the memoir, Prince Harry expressed his disappointment that Meghan and Kate never developed a close friendship.
He also shed light on various incidents where the two had disagreements, including his perspective on the bridesmaids’ dress controversy from 2018.
Despite rumors, Meghan has maintained she does not wish ill on Kate. Her TikTok quote underscores her desire for the public to embrace both women rather than unfairly cast them as enemies based on hearsay.
The viral video has reminded social media users of Meghan’s stance, with many praising her attitude.
The clip also highlights society’s tendency to turn successful women against each other rather than celebrating their accomplishments.
