The Hormone Discussion
According to Prince Harry’s memoir,*Spare*,a disagreement arose between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton regarding Meghan’s recollection of a conversation about post-partum hormones. The incident reportedly occurred in the lead-up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in May 2018.
Harry alleges that Meghan initially claimed she couldn’t recall the specifics of the conversation. However, she later clarified, stating she remembered kate having “forgotten something” and Meghan suggesting it was likely due to pregnancy hormones, as Kate had recently given birth to Prince Louis on April 23, 2018 (Royal Family official website).
Harry recounts that Kate responded with, “We are not close enough for you to talk about my hormones.” Meghan then attempted to explain that she communicates in a similar manner with all her friends.
Escalation and Resolution
The situation reportedly escalated when Prince William intervened, prompting Meghan to ask him to stop pointing at her. She subsequently admitted she hadn’t intended to upset Kate. Harry claims the four of them – Harry, Meghan, William, and Kate - ultimately embraced and parted ways.
