Mr Bower’s book quotes unnamed sources that said Meghan “compared Princess Charlotte unfavourably to her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s daughter”.

According to MailOnline, the book claims that Kate had been “tired” following the birth of her third child Prince Louis, who arrived in April just weeks before the wedding.

The now-Princess of Wales was reportedly “too fatigued” to argue with Meghan over whether or not her bridesmaids should wear tights, although royal protocol suggested they should.

But the Duchess was firm in her mind that her bridesmaids should not wear tights, and was backed by her then-close friend Jessica Mulroney.

They also disagreed about the hem of Princess Charlotte’s dress, which Kate “felt was too short and anyway did not fit”, the book claims.

Meghan’s inability to “compromise” made Kate upset, but three years later Meghan was able to give her side of the story in her and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The Duchess explained: “She [Kate] was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologised. And she bought me flowers.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining – yes, the issue was correct – about flower girl dresses, and it made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings.
