Roland Mouret describes mistake involving Kate Middleton’s stylist
Meghan Markle’s designer friend Roland Mouret has revealed how an unintentional mistake involving Kate Middleton’s stylist reportedly caused strain in their friendship. In his memoir, “I Am Roland Mouret: The Butcher’s Boy Who Dressed the World”, the French fashion designer recalled how the Duchess was so upset by the incident that she told him she would never wear his designs again.
In an excerpt published by many times On October 16, Mouret revealed that she had offered to send Markle a selection of her best designs after she started dating Prince Harry. The designer anticipated that as her relationship with the royal family progressed she would need an extensive wardrobe to attend the many events and ceremonies she attended. Markle reportedly welcomed the offer.
Mouret later instructed her team to send a special collection of clothing to the palace, and insisted that these pieces be available to Markle for as long as she needed them. He remembered telling his team: “Leave them there as long as she wants them. Don’t go on with it and don’t talk about it to anyone here or outside.”
However, the arrangement took an unexpected turn when a member of Mouret’s team contacted Kate Middleton’s stylist at Kensington Palace to coordinate the return of clothes sent to the “Suits” star. Markle reportedly found out about the communications and called the designer to express her disappointment.
According to Mouret, the Duchess of Sussex confronted him over the incident, saying: “You don’t realize what you’ve done! You’ve embarrassed me!”
Although the French designer attempted to calm her down, Markle reportedly stood firm in her response. She told him that she would never wear the clothes he designed again, which strained their friendship.
Reflecting on the fallout, Mouret said: “Meghan’s decision not to wear my clothes was hers, not the palace’s, not anyone else’s. I don’t think anyone else cared.”
Despite the disagreement, the designer and the Duchess ultimately appeared to put the incident behind them. Mouret later invited Markle to wear his creations again, and she reportedly accepted the offer, suggesting the pair have reconciled.
