Meghan Markle Gave Kate Middleton A Bracelet As A 'Peace Offering' After Flower Girl Dress Spat, Royal Biographer Says
Meghan Markle is said to have given a "peace offering" to Kate Middleton following their reported spat about flower girl dresses ahead of her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.
According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, the 40-year-old gave the Duchess of Cambridge and several of her close friends a gold bracelet to show her appreciation for their "help and support" in the lead-up to the wedding.
Morton wrote in the latest edition of his book Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, that with the "spat concerning the bridesmaids' outfits now behind them, Meghan had since given Kate and her six closest friends gold bracelets designed by Californian jeweller Lisette Polny," per the Express.
"It was an elegant peace offering, both women professional enough to know that there was no gain in showing dissent or disdain," Morton wrote.
The Suits alum discussed the spat during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey with Prince Harry in March. Markle said that the reports that she made Middleton cry in the lead-up to the wedding were the other way around.

According to Markle, Middleton was upset about something pertaining to the flower girl dresses a few days before the wedding. "It made me cry and it really hurt my feelings," she said.
Middleton and Prince William's daughter, Princess Charlotte, was one of the flower girls at the royal wedding.
"She was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized, and she brought me flowers and a note, apologizing … She did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone," Markle said.
Markle told Winfrey that she was not trying to disparage Middleton. "What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn’t do, but that happened to me," she said.
