When Oprah Winfrey asked Meghan about 'the incident' of which there were reports that she (Meghan) had made Kate Middleton cry days before marrying Prince Harry, Meghan retorted, "No, the reverse happened. It was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something. But she owned it, and she apologised, and she brought me flowers and a note apologising. She did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone, to just take accountability for it. A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to ... flower girl dresses. And it made me cry." She added, "And it really hurt my feelings, and I thought in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding, it didn't make sense to not be just doing whatever everyone else is doing, which was trying to be supportive knowing what was going on with my dad and whatnot."
