“The reverse happened,” Meghan said.
She continued, “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something. But she owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing.”
Meghan confirmed that there was an issue about the bridesmaid dresses.
“It made me cry. It really hurt my feelings,” the Duchess of Sussex said.
