Kate's Wedding Woes: Harry's Big Day

It is unclear whether Kate looked happy at Harry's wedding. However, there is speculation that she chose to rewear an outfit she had been photographed in before so as not to steal focus from Meghan Markle, the bride. In his memoir, Harry mentions that he and Kate had a close bond and that he was able to make her laugh. He also notes that he was disappointed that Kate and Meghan did not form a connection.

Kate recycled an outfit to avoid stealing focus from Meghan

Kate Middleton is known for recycling outfits, and her choice to do so at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was no exception. For the 2018 royal wedding, Kate chose to wear a cream-coloured Alexander McQueen tailored coat that she had been photographed in several times before. This was a thoughtful choice, as she knew that wearing a new outfit would increase the attention on her, and she did not want to steal the focus from Meghan, the bride.

The coat had previously been worn by Kate to Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015 and the Trooping the Colour celebration in 2016. It is a favourite of hers, with an open neck revealing a hint of collarbone and a fitted waist. It is also likely that the outfit was approved by both Meghan and the Queen before the ceremony.

Kate is famous for recycling outfits, and this is part of what makes her such a beloved style icon. Her choice to rewear an outfit to the royal wedding was not a sign of disrespect but rather a considerate decision to ensure that Meghan would receive the attention she deserved on her wedding day.

In addition to recycling her outfit, Kate also kept a low profile throughout the wedding. She arrived just moments before the ceremony and rushed into the church with her children. She kept her head down during parts of the ceremony and stood only momentarily on the steps with the rest of the family. She gave Meghan the gift of the world's full attention on her special day.

Harry's reaction to seeing Kate was caught on camera

A video of Prince Harry's reaction to seeing Kate Middleton walking down the aisle at her wedding to Prince William has gone viral on TikTok. The clip, which has received over 1 million views, shows Harry standing next to his brother, William, as Kate walks towards them. As William faces forward, Harry turns his head, sneaks a peek at Kate, smiles, and says something to his brother.

According to royal author Marcia Moody, in her book "Kate: A Biography", Harry said to William, "Right, she is here now. Well, she looks beautiful, I can tell you that." The sweet moment between the brothers, who are not as close anymore, has prompted some social media users to lament the perceived state of their relationship.

In his memoir, "Spare", Harry shared his thoughts on Kate joining the royal family. He wrote, "I liked seeing Kate laugh. Better yet, I liked making her laugh. And I was quite good at it." He added, "My transparently silly side connected with her heavily disguised silly side. Whenever I worried that Kate was going to be the one to take Willy from me, I consoled myself with thoughts of all our future laughing fits together."

Harry also noted that he was disappointed that Kate and his wife, Meghan Markle, failed to form a connection. He spoke of tensions between them, such as Kate's reluctance to lend Meghan her lip gloss and Kate reprimanding Meghan for referencing her hormones and saying she had "baby brain" after the birth of her son, Prince Louis.

Harry and Kate's relationship has been restricted since Harry's split from the monarchy

Prince Harry and Kate Middleton's relationship has seemingly deteriorated since Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down from their senior royal roles.

Harry and Kate's relationship was once a close one. Harry described Kate as being like a sister to him, and said he was quite good at making her laugh. He also said he was absolutely delighted about her engagement to his brother, Prince William, and that he loved his new sister-in-law.

However, things seem to have changed since Harry and Meghan's departure from the monarchy. Harry and Meghan's tell-all interview in March 2021, as well as their Netflix show, are said to have upset William and Kate, who were not happy about the couple "airing dirty laundry".

Harry's memoir, "Spare", also appears to have driven a wedge between the pair. In the book, Harry includes details of private conversations and text messages, including some between Kate and Meghan. One source said that Kate felt hurt and betrayed by Harry's decision to publish these details.

Harry and Kate's relationship has seemingly deteriorated to the point that they are no longer on speaking terms. A source claimed that Kate has no desire to communicate with Harry nor Meghan, and that there has been too much that has happened for her to be ready to reconcile.

Harry's memoir includes a conversation between Meghan and Kate

In his memoir, Spare, Harry recalls the moment he first saw Kate Middleton walking down the aisle at her wedding to his brother, William. He describes how he turned to William and smiled, telling his brother, "Right, she is here now. Well, she looks beautiful, I can tell you that."

Harry also writes warmly about Kate joining the royal family, noting that he loved his new sister-in-law and felt she was "more sister than in-law, the sister I'd never had and always wanted". He adds that he was pleased she would be standing by William's side and that she made him happy too.

However, Harry also mentions some of the strains that developed in his relationship with Kate, particularly after Meghan joined the family. He includes a conversation between Meghan and Kate in the run-up to his and Meghan's wedding, describing the now-infamous bridesmaid's dress incident. Harry writes that Princess Charlotte cried over her ill-fitting dress, and includes some of the text messages between Meghan and Kate, as well as their subsequent conversation, in which they tried to find a solution.

Harry also mentions Kate's reluctance to lend Meghan her lip gloss before an important event and how Kate reprimanded Meghan for referencing her hormones and saying she had "baby brain" after the birth of Prince Louis.

Despite these tensions, Harry and Kate have been seen sharing laughs and conversations over the years, although their interactions have been restricted since Harry and Meghan's split from the monarchy in 2020.

Harry and Kate were photographed together after the death of Queen Elizabeth II

Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were photographed together after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. The two were seen united in grief outside the gates of Windsor Castle with their respective spouses.

Harry and Kate's relationship has been under public scrutiny since Harry's departure from royal duties in 2020 and his subsequent move to California with his wife, Meghan Markle. Harry's memoir, "Spare", further fuelled speculation about a rift between the two, as the prince made several revelations about his brother, William, and his relationship with Kate.

In the memoir, Harry fondly recalled Kate joining the royal family, noting that he enjoyed making her laugh and that they shared a bond. He wrote, "I liked seeing Kate laugh. Better yet, I liked making her laugh. And I was quite good at it". He also expressed disappointment that Kate and Meghan failed to form a connection, citing instances such as Kate's reluctance to lend Meghan her lip gloss and the drama surrounding Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress.

Despite the perceived strain in their relationship, Harry and Kate have been photographed together on several occasions since Meghan's entry into the family. They were seen sharing laughs and conversations, including at the wedding of Princess Eugenie in October 2018, just five months after Harry and Meghan's nuptials.

Harry also shared a "sweet" moment with Kate at her wedding to William in 2011. A viral TikTok video shows Harry turning to William and making a smiling comment upon seeing Kate in her wedding dress. According to royal author Marcia Moody, Harry said, "Right, she is here now. Well, she looks beautiful, I can tell you that."
