In his book, "Spare," the Duke details what led up to their infamous feud. 

What went down on Meghan Markle's wedding day between the Suits star and her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, has been speculated for years. According to reports at the time, Meghan made her sister-in-law cry over a row about flower girl dresses. However, in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey after Megxiting the country with Prince Harry, she claimed that Kate made her cry, not the other way around. It should come as no surprise that Prince Harry finally addresses the feud once and for all in his book, Spare, hitting bookshelves next week.
