It’s no secret that Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have always had a “cold” relationship and never really saw eye to eye. This was confirmed by Prince Harry in his bombshell memoir, Spare – i.e., the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time – with him saying that the sisters-in-law “clashed” after a particular incident involving some lip gloss.
Prince Harry actually had quite a few negative things to say about the Princess of Wales, 43 – who he once described as the “sister I’ve never had and always wanted” – throughout his memoir, one of which being how she notably “grimaced” when the former Suits actress asked to borrow her lip gloss before they went on stage at the Royal Foundation Forum in 2018.
A TikTok user called @royalfamilyvideos_ uploaded a now-viral video to the platform (check it out here) showing various pictures of the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex alongside an audio clip of Prince Harry recalling that infamous lip gloss moment in his memoir.
“Meg asked to borrow Kate’s lip gloss. An American thing. Meg forgot hers, worried she needed some, and turned to Kate for help,” Prince Harry recalled in his memoir, which he can be heard reading in the now-viral TikTok video.
