on their position to attain free gifts<\/p>\n<p>Both Kate and Meghan were said to have left the meeting in tears after it was found that none of the dresses fit correctly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a separate row, it emerged in Prince Harry&#8217;s book Spare that Meghan kept freebies which she was given while a member of the royal family, supposedly sharing them with her staff at Kensington palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The usual practice within the Royal Family is to send back unsolicited gifts which have been sent to the palace for free.<\/p>\n<p>Yet in his book, Harry admits that Meghan took free gifts, but also \u00addistributed them to her staff.<\/p>\n<p>The prince wrote:\u00a0Harry says: &#8216;She shared all the freebies she received, clothes and perfumes and make-up, with all the women in the office.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But this is also said to have caused problems, as Prince Harry claims one assistant was &#8216;asked to resign by Palace HR after we showed them evidence she&#8217;d traded on her position with Meg to get freebies&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>His claims are disputed, as royal family members are not allowed to accept gifts unless for a major occasion, such as a marriage, or &#8216;official&#8217; gifts from royal engagements.<\/p>\n<p>There is also said to have been confusion over Meghan being given or &#8216;lent&#8217; items of clothing and jewellery.<\/p>\n<p>In one such incident, Meghan wore a pair of diamond earrings, given to her by\u00a0Saudi prince Mohammed Bin Salman, supposedly as a wedding gift, to a state banquet in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The palace claimed at the time that the earrings were loaned to the Duchess by Chopard, but it was later discovered they were, in fact, a wedding gift.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/01\/14\/16\/66575289-11634917-image-a-4_1673713934518.jpg\" height=\"951\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Kate was pictured in an Erdem dress at the Chelsea Flower Show in May 2019<\/p>\n<p>Meghan&#8217;s lawyers, Schillings, initially said: &#8216;At no stage did the Duchess tell staff that the earrings were &#8216;borrowed from a jeweller&#8217;, as this would have been untrue and therefore any suggestion that she encouraged them to lie to the media is baseless.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two days later, Schillings then added it was &#8216;possible&#8217; Meghan said the earrings were borrowed as she referred to the fact that gifts given to the royal family are automatically the property of the monarch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Much attention was drawn to the fact that the earrings were worn just days after the the Saudi regime admitted to killing journalist Jamal Khasoggi.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers for Harry and Meghan at the time denied the Duchess had ever said the earrings were a loan.<\/p>\n<p>Things got off to a bad start between the two couples after Meghan Markle met Kate for the first time wearing ripped jeans and no shoes.<\/p>\n<p>She later revealed in the couple&#8217;s Netflix documentary that she was shocked at the level of formality &#8216;behind closed doors&#8217; after meeting the couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had previously hugged Prince William upon meeting him, which is said to have &#8216;completely freaked [William] out&#8217;, according to Spare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry gave an exclusive interview to The Telegraph, published last night.<\/p>\n<p>He has also called for the royal family to apologise\u00a0to Meghan Markle after he made a series of explosive claims in his new book, claiming his family were treating him as if he were &#8216;delusional and paranoid&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The prince said:\u00a0&#8216;You know what you did, and I now know why you did it. And you&#8217;ve been caught out, so just come clean.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is not clear what Harry wants his family to apologise to his wife for but he claimed he was fighting the &#8216;good fight&#8217; by siding with Meghan.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that &#8216;if people had listened&#8217; to his concerns earlier, the gulf between he and Meghan and the rest of the royals would not have grown so wide.<\/p>\n<p>The Duke of Sussex added that he could not understand why it seemed &#8216;shocking and outrageous&#8217; for him to tell what he said was the &#8216;truthful&#8217; side of the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Talking about his family, he said: &#8216;I wish you&#8217;d actually sit down with me, properly, and instead of saying I&#8217;m delusional and paranoid, actually sit down and have a proper conversation about this, because what I&#8217;d really like is some accountability. And an apology to my wife.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He also spoke about his belief that his family could benefit from unconscious bias training: &#8216;I think the same process that I went through regarding my own unconscious bias would be hugely beneficial to them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s not racism, but unconscious bias if not confronted, if not acknowledged, if not learned and grown from, that can then move into racism. And the way that I understand it is that we all want to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been contacted for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11634917\/Tensions-grew-Duchess-Sussex-Princess-Wales-queue-designer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan and Kate&#8217;s fashion feud: Tensions &#8216;grew<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":169602,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tension &amp;apos;grew when Meghan was behind Kate in queue for top designer&amp;apos;
