There were initially high expectations that the Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle would form a strong bond, but tension reportedly began to build almost immediately after Prince Harry started dating Meghan. One awkward encounter involved a lip gloss request backstage before a Royal Foundation Forum in 2018.

There were initially high expectations that the Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle would form a strong bond and become a dynamic duo. However, it appears that the two women never quite clicked after Prince Harry began dating Meghan, and tension between them began to build almost immediately. One awkward encounter between the pair occurred before Harry and Meghan's wedding, when the couple, along with Prince William and Kate, were referred to as the 'Fab Four'.

In his memoir Spare, Harry recounts a tense moment between Meghan and Kate that occurred backstage before the forum, which was sparked by a request for lip gloss. According to Harry, Meghan asked to borrow Kate's lip gloss, which caught the Princess of Wales off guard. He writes: "Meg asked to borrow Kate's lip gloss. An American thing. Meg forgot hers, worried she needed some, and turned to Kate for help.

In Harry's book, he reveals a plethora of details about the relationship between Kate and Meghan during Meghan's time as a working Royal. He claims that Meghan upset Kate by suggesting she had "baby brain" in the lead up to his and Meghan's 2018 wedding, when Kate was pregnant with Prince Louis, reports the Mirror. He also spills the beans on a private chat between the two women about bridesmaids' dresses that left Meghan in tears.

During an ITV interview with Tom Bradby in January 2023, Harry confessed that Kate and William didn't click with Meghan "from the get-go." When asked why things started off on the wrong foot, Harry cited "lots of different reasons." He continued: "I don't think they were ever expecting me to get into a relationship with someone like Meghan, who had, you know, a very successful career.

When asked to clarify, Harry continued: "Well, American actress, divorced, biracial - there's all different parts to that and what that can mean but if you are, like a lot of my family do, if you are reading the press, the British tabloids, at the same time as living the life, then there is a tendency where you could actually end up living in the tabloid bubble rather than the actual reality.
