A new memoir from French fashion designer Roland Mouret is stirring up fresh royal drama. In“I Am Roland Mouret: The Butcher’s Boy Who Dressed the World,”he claims he sent Meghan Markle clothes back in 2016 when she began dating Prince Harry, and told his team to keep the gesture under wraps. But according to the book, a team member accidentally called Kate Middleton’s stylist to ask for the dresses back, which set off a heated phone call with Meghan.
Mouret writes that Meghan was furious, telling him he had embarrassed her and that she could never wear his clothes again. He also notes that the decision to stop wearing his designs was entirely hers, not the palace’s. The story doesn’t end there, either. A year later, Mouret reportedly messaged Meghan after seeing her in what he described as a cheap copy of his design.
This new excerpt only adds to the ongoing fascination with Meghan and Kate’s icy relationship, which Meghan herself addressed in her 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview. Royal fans are already picking apart every detail, and the memoir is bound to keep the conversation going. So, whose side are you taking in this fashion feud? Let us know in the comments.
