Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton ‘BOTH cried after royal wedding rift’
THE royal riddle over who made who cry in the Meghan and Kate wedding dress bust-up has taken a new twist.
It is now claimed Kate tried to make up with Meghan by offering her flowers as an apology – only for her olive branch to be rejected.

The Daily Mail reported Meg threw the flowers in the bin and The Times said she had slammed the door shut in Kate’s face.
Reports of the row over bridesmaid dresses first surfaced when the Daily Telegraph reported Meghan had made Kate cry in the run-up to her and Harry’s wedding in May 2018.
But in her Oprah Winfrey TV interview last weekend Meghan, 39, denied that and claimed it was the other way round.
She said “the reverse happened” and that Kate had apologised to her for making her cry.
But now The Sun on Sunday understands Kate was also left tearful by Meg’s reaction to her floral peace offering when they were neighbours at Kensington Palace.
A source said: “Both women were clearly shaken by the bridesmaid’s fitting incident.
“There are two sides to this story. We have now heard them both.
“Meg has no way of knowing if she made Kate cry or not behind closed doors but it I’m told Kate was left tearful over her rejection of her flowers.
“But at least Kate offered an olive branch even though they ended in the bin.
“Has Meg ever considered that maybe they are both correct? Both were in tears over the row.”

Meg told Oprah the stories six months after her wedding that her sister-in-law was left in tears were not true.
Meg, 39, said: “No, no. The reverse happened. 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, apologising.
“And she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone, right, to just take accountability for it.”

After stories emerged in the press about Kate’s tears, Meg and Harry emailed Kensington Palace asking them to “set the record straight”.
She had asked the Palace to deny the story about Kate in tears but said they refused.
Meg added: “The narrative with Kate – which didn’t happen – was really, really difficult and something that. I think that’s when everything changed, really.”
