Meghan’s wedding may have revolved around the lovely couple’s happily-ever-after, but the event was also eclipsed by the shocking absence of Meghan’s dad. His absence was explained by his hospitalization for heart surgery, but there were rumors it was more about his fallout with Meghan after he was caught staging paparazzi photos and leaking information to the press.

The tabloids love to pit women against each other, but apparently, the bad blood between Meghan and Kate is real. Meghan was said to have reduced Kate to tears during a bridesmaid dress fitting, but Meghan argues that the reverse was true, and Kate was in the wrong, saying “[Kate] was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized.”

Soon after their engagement, Meghan and Harry began building up their staff, and reportedly most of them didn’t last long, leading to gossip that the couple was difficult to work for. When staff went on the record about their experiences, they accused Meghan of being very demeaning to staff and a bully, especially to other women, which the couple denied.

Prince William was allegedly very concerned about Prince Harry and Meghan’s relationship from the beginning, and since the wedding, the relationship between the two brothers has broken down apparently because of Meghan. Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview only exacerbated the bad blood, with royal expert Tina Brown saying, “William was disgusted.”

Rumors about the falling out between the royal brothers have persisted for a long time, with some tracing the animosity to when William warned Harry against marrying Meghan. While it’s unclear when the tension started, it’s clear from the body language between the two brothers that something went down, with insiders saying “the trust between them is strained.”
