Washington [US], January 13: The much-discussed adjustments to Meghan Markle's bridesmaids' dresses before her wedding were made by the tailor, whose name was recently made public, and he has now spoken out about the entire incident.
Ajay Mirpuri, who Prince Harry mentioned in his new memoir "Spare," reportedly provided his perspective in an interview with the Daily Mail, a UK-based tabloid daily, according to People magazine, an American weekly publication.
The six outfits for the young bridesmaids, including Princess Charlotte, had to be urgently altered before the wedding, according to Ajay. He was clear, though, that he didn't see any argument between Kate Middleton and Meghan in the months leading up to their May 2018 nuptials. "If anything happened, it wasn't in front of me; it happened in the background. However, even at the best of circumstances, weddings can be stressful, particularly one of this magnitude "According to People magazine, the upscale tailor disclosed this to the Daily Mail. Added he, "Like everyone else at a wedding, they had to deal with last-minute hiccups. It makes sense that anyone would be unhappy if the clothes didn't fit; it's stressful."
Mirpuri said of the short-sleeved, white dresses with voluminous skirts, "I feel for them all because you wouldn't want the kids to go out on a large stage in an ill-fitting garment — and that's what they were." Harry revealed in his autobiography that Kate texted Meghan four days prior to the wedding and remarked, "The dress on Charlotte is too long, too saggy, and too huge. When she tried it on at home, she sobbed." The book claims that Meghan told Kate to visit the tailor who had been "standing by" at Kensington Palace since 8 a.m. that day, but Kate maintained that "all the dresses need to be altered." Harry reports that Kate apologised the following day by dropping by with flowers and a card.
Princess Charlotte was one of Harry and Meghan's five young bridesmaids, along with the goddaughters of Harry, Florence van Cutsem and Zalie Warren; Meghan's goddaughters, Rylan and Remi Lit; and Ivy Mulroney, the daughter of Jessica Mulroney, a close friend of Meghan.
