I remember some criticism of the Duchess of Sussex’s “look” on her wedding day. People had complaints about her Givenchy gown. People had complaints about her hair. People had complaints about how she was a Black American woman marrying the charismatic ginger prince. There were a lot of forces working against Meghan on that day, in the months before her wedding day and, obviously, in the years following her wedding day. Now, does it follow that Meghan is currently holding grudges against every single person who sniped at her wedding look? I hope not. According to complete randos, Meghan is holding one particular grudge: she hates Katy Perry, because Katy complained about the fit of Meghan’s wedding gown.
Meghan Markle is reportedly holding a grudge against pop star Katy Perry after she made negative comments about her wedding dress. The 41-year-old Duchess of Sussex, who moved to Montecito, California with Prince Harry in 2020 after they decided to step down as senior members of the Royal Family.
Meghan married Prince Harry, 37, in 2018 and wore a simple white gown designed by Givenchy for the lavish ceremony and since moving to the United States, Harry has apparently struck up a friendship with actor Orlando Bloom, who is Katy Perry’s fiance. While Harry and Orlando might be getting on like a house on fire, Meghan is reportedly still upset about comments Katy made in 2018.
During a promotional tour in the US for American Idol, Katy said regarding Meghan’s wedding dress that she “would’ve done one more fitting.”
A source told The Daily Star: “Orlando is very sympathetic towards Harry and Meghan and does reach out if he ever sees anything suspicious in the neighbourhood. However, Meghan is keenly aware of a comment that Katy Perry made in 2018 about her wedding dress and is notorious for holding a grudge.”
The source continued: “While the comment wasn’t meant to be hurtful, Meghan felt under siege at that time and was overwhelmed by arguments with staff, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Thomas Markle.” They added: “I would not expect to see Meghan and Katy carpooling to PTA meetings anytime in the future!”
The way I felt about Meghan’s dress on the day of her wedding is not the way I feel about it now. On the day, I kind of thought it was a tad too loose as well, but five years later, I kind of like the fit. I like the clean simplicity of the design and I like that she didn’t go body-con or corseted.
This is actually kind of an old story, but I didn’t cover it at the time because I thought it was so random, and who cares what Katy Perry thinks about anything, really? But given the news about Katy headlining the coronation concert next month… well… it actually looks like this might be some kind of pattern for Katy Perry? Does Katy Perry have an anti-Sussex bias??

I figured she lost weight in the final weeks of the wedding due to stress, which explained the fit to me. 🤷🏼♀️
That was my thoughts. Meghan was probably just relieved to get through the day with her sanity after that nightmare circus. And lol at “Meghan likes to hold grudges “. How many times have we heard about bullying, crying, emails, etc.?
Yet we’ve never heard a single story about Meghan holding a grudge. Although, if I was Meghan, I wouldn’t trust Katy Perry.
Yeah I’m wondering that now too. Years ago on graham Norton she loudly said how attractive she found prince Harry, on its own 🤷 but now this criticism which I remember the days after the wedding and now her performing at the coronation…
More than likely, it’s made up crud by the British Tabs, creating a ‘hateful, petty Meghan’ click bait tale before the coronation.
If I was Meghan, I would not trust The Daily Mirror.
Doesnt feel that a comment such as “I would’ve made it fit better” would entice a grudge. The fact that Orlando and harry are pals to me feels like they all probably get along and katy probably knows today the reason why the dress fitted that way. It was announced that katy would perform after it was announced that Harry was going to the clownanation and these 2 are probably going back together on the same plane so that they can both be at Archies party that same night. It makes total sense to me. And that would clear some air.
That’s the first thought that comes to my mind when I think about how it fitted, she was so stressed that her body was just wasting away. Personally I liked it then and I like it now, not everything has to be skin tight.
@ SarahCS, I am with you!! I thought she looked perfect on her wedding day then and still to this day. Her McQueen dress in the evening was stunning as well!!
As you look at her dress in the sun, you can see she has it quite well fitted as if was more fitted she would not have had as much movement in it too. But it looks perfect!!
Stella McCartney, not McBurton.
that is my thought too, that she dropped weight leading up to the wedding. I loved the fit though, I thought she looked fabulous. And her reception dress was amazing.
I lost weight between my last fitting and my wedding. I was pretty shocked when I put my dress on. The fit was way off.
I thought that was just the style of the dress. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don’t think what Katy said was mean just her opinion and I doubt Meghan even cares.
At the time I thought it looked loose because she just didn’t have a final fitting closer to the day, but knowing what we do now I’m surprised she didn’t lose more weight due to the stress and trauma she was going through.
I thought the same thing. She probably lost weight before the wedding and after her final fitting. Knowing what we know now, it’s no wonder.
I always liked her dress and the way it draped.
Fckin bomboclaat randos having a go at Meghan. Yet again. Nothing more, Nothing less.
The fit of her dress was bad!
For the amount she (Charles) paid for dress or the promotion of the dress designer and the significance of her wedding, she should have had a last minute fitting.
Great lewk poorly executed.
Yes too bad she had the whole tabloid industry, Unroyal mafia and white Markleton klan working against her. Cuz then the dress would have fit. /s
I thought it looked great and not like the tacky too tight dresses favored by people who will revert their choices in a decade.
FYI, Charles did not pay for her gown. Meghan paid for it. Charles wouldn’t pay her to work for the firm or pay for security for her. What makes you think he paid for her gown? Had his son living in a flop house with cinderblock furniture. Try not to tell on your deranger self so easily next time.
The dress was simple, elegant, not some lacy skin-tight monstrosity where you can’t breathe and sitting down is uncomfortable. Considering the huge amount of stress she was dealing with, nit-picking about the fit being “off” is unnecessary. Oh, BTW, Meghan is a self-made millionaire, she paid for her own dress.
Has anyone else thought that Katy Perry is a performer. Who basically sells her sexuality. And Meaghan was marrying into the Royal Family. Meaghan didn’t want it to be to tight.
@BillyPilgrim Meghan paid for the dress. She paid for everything. This has been confirmed by the financial reports for the RF.
She looked fantastic.
I thought she’d loss weight, and the difference between her evening dress and her ceremony dress was due to structure and material of the dresses, so it was less obvious in the Stella McCartney vs Givenchy dress.
Also I don’t think Meghan has ever given Katy Perry a thought other than a possible “bless her” 😉
I thought Meghan said she didn’t want a tight fit on the day? She is enough of a fashionista to know her own mind on fit. I totally agree with her BTW. She obviously knew the events at the chapel was going to be stressful and wanted to be able to breath.
She had already been through that whole farqhuadt drama with Kate about the girl’s dresses. She probably worried about what else DoC would do. I have always wondered what she thought when she saw Kate in white.
That was always my assumption too. She was beautiful bride but also looked so fragile physically and mentally after all of the drama with her awful father. Sad to look back on it now and think that after her wedding I breathed a sigh of relief and thought she was going on to a fairytale when the worst was yet to come.
I don’t think she looked fragile and frail at all. She looked amazing especially considering what we know now.
I think we are both rooting for Meghan so it’s OK for us to see this slightly differently? To me she looked beautiful and happy to be marrying Harry, but also it looked like she had lost weight since the last fitting, and in resting moments you could see her eyes were so tired.
Agree. I too heaved a sigh of relief and thought, aaah, she’s officially a member of the family now, they will protect her. How very sad.
I remember their engagement interview. She was so full of hope. They looked so much in love. Terrible what’s been done to them.
Meghan was emotionally drained on their wedding day. Her dad, the press, and just the overall enormous focus and pressure on making sure everything looked perfect, plus following that pointless and stale Royal protocol. In conclusion, if my friend’s celebrity partner later commented that she “would’ve done one more fitting,” yeah, I’d never forget it because I’m petty like that.
Blame Meg for Kates no show at balmoral ✔️. Meg hates Katy for some obscure comment she made ✔️. Meg is the cause of all the bad in the universe ✔️. Just can’t keep Meg out of any articles that are written ✔️.
@susanCollins, yep, next week “David Attenborough says Megan is melting the ice caps”., maybe one day in a far off distant galaxy the headline will read “,, Megan saved the world because ET took one look at the absolute sht pile that’s been heaped on an innocent woman’s shoulders, that the leader of the aliens thought,”sod that for a game of soldiers, that much vinegar will melt our ships”!!?
Seriously. Meghan is their bread and butter. Anything they can do to cause her undo suffering and line their pockets, they will. But this is such a non-story. Katy’s comment is innocuous and there is no offense to be taken by it. None. So, no. Meghan doesn’t care. She probably agrees!
Katy (the girl who wore a dress with pinwheel spinners on the boobs that were an insurance risk, winding up her hair) was asked a question about Meghan’s wedding dress. She gave her opinion, then said that she loved her.
Meghan has been on record many times saying she does not read press about herself. Meghan wouldn’t know what Katy said about her dress unless one of her friends or family told her. And why would they?
Isn’t Mirror one of those rags Harry is suing?
I remember the full comment including Katy Perry saying the Kate looked better at her wedding than Meghan looked at hers. It was very rude and unnecessary.
I agree, but what Katy actually said was much more hurtful: “Kate wins!’ Apparently meaning because Meghan’s dress wasn’t as well-fitted. It was a nasty thing to say, pitting her against her new SIL (as if the BP wasn’t doing the same thing).
Taylor tried to tell us: ” “For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not,” Swift shared about her frenemy. She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?’
Katy Perry had a great run…10 years ago.
Personally don’t care for any of her current music, and care even less about what she thinks about Meghan from her wedding. Hate to say it but she’s just not that interesting, and it just emphasizes how this coronation is gonna be a snooze 💤
All her bubble gum pop fans have grown up, and KP hasn’t really monopolized her reach, which is fine. She’s married, has a family…
They haven’t married yet – they’ve been engaged for over four years.
I didn’t know she was performing at the coronation. That sucks.
Meghan, ain’t thinking about no Katy Perry. Her and her Mom does yoga, they don’t fill their minds with stress and mind pollution.
To the RR, BP and the BRF, “Girl, BYE!”
Is Katy Perry married?
I thought she was married to Orlando Bloom but I guess they are common law. They have a daughter together.
Yawn. Is Meg so small that she can’t overlook a random remark from 5 years ago? Don’t think so.
Agreed. And what is this nonsense that she holds a grudge???? Hell, she was even kind to KHate in her Oprah interview…..IF anyone deserved to be held to a grudge, it would have been the SWFing, abusive, lying and vindictive She Devil, not Katy Perry….
from the Netflix docuseries, it’s kind of striking that despite all the shit leading up to their wedding, Meghan remembers the day with a great deal of joy. I doubt very much that she holds a grudge about this, if she took any notice of it at all.
The last question about any possible anti- bias towards Meghan is what it is all about.
It is recycled news, because Kathy Perry will sing at the concert.
Agree. I have no idea how Katy Perry feels about Meghan. But I’m certain that this is the media retreading an old story for clicks and bc Katie will be performing at the coronation. There is no evidence of beef. Considering Perry tends to wear more form fitting clothes, her comment makes sense. Did she need to say it to the world? No. It was tacky. Does that mean she’s hates Meghan? No. She could idk? But there’s literally no evidence of that from this story alone.
Katy Perry is kind of the worst. Remember how she made some seriously rude comments about “shaving her head” a la Britney MORE THAN ONCE? YEARS after 2007? She has a pattern. She’s trashy. I will say though, I found Meghan’s overall look and dress super boring. I also didn’t love the tiara-veil situation. But, it was her wedding, so to each their own. My ballgown-ish wedding dress was definitely not to everyone’s taste, so whatever.
I loved the idea of the veil (delicately embroidered with commonwealth floral emblems, and plants of personal significance,) but, yeah, I also thought the tiara-veil-hair look didn’t work great. There’s a portrait of her seated on the steps with the tiara but without the veil and her head looks great, the tiara and hair working really well together.
Also yes on Katy Perry being trashy.
Gotta say that I didn’t care for the dress (never mind the fit) either. That said, I doubt Meghan would have liked mine.
Everyone has their own taste and people don’t have to like everything.
I recognize that I’m Fashion UNconscious. Oh well! (sigh)
Katy simply isn’t bright that’s why she going to coronation.
That being said, the for of the dress was off bc as Harry said in Spare, the stress of the final weeks leading up to the wedding had caused her to lose weight rapidly. I doubt Meghan is mad about her saying that.
Also as an actress, she knew ppl would comment negatively and positively. I highly doubt she is using her energy holding a grudge.
Hold up…is this the same Katy Perry that wore a cheeseburger to the Met Ball one year?
She’s a fit expert?
Thanks for that horrid mental picture. I may be wrong, but I also seem to recall her wearing a garment with 2 large eyeballs over her boobs to draw attention to said boobs because, lest the public forget, Katy Perry has boobs. Yeah, this is the creature who wants to give fashion advice.
After wearing the dress pictured above, she should hush. One boob sticks out at an odd angle and one appears to be gone.
I’m trying to figure out what Katy Perry knows about fashion/fit/alterations….another celebrity that thinks the world is interested in hearing about all their opinions, maybe she should stay in her swim lane – with her sharks 🙂
This sounds like a Hit Job to prop up KaTie for agreeing to do Charles coronation. since they are neighbours i reckon they are most likely freindly . the press will most likely be pumping Katie for any information on Meghan and the kids,
This is what Katy gets for agreeing to perform at that shit show. And they don’t even have to pump her for information, they will attribute false quotes to her after the coronation by claiming she was talking shit about them the whole time they were there. And they will force her to put up with it by threatening her honoring posts with The Prince Trust or her dual citizenship.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are darlings of the Fail readership. Just check the comments under any of her historic articles.
This makes me believe that they have Katy by the balls and since then have milked her cooperation in return for her ‘being pro establishment’.
It’s the same play book every time. I’ve come to the realisation that anyone who works with the Royals or cooperates with the establishment has been compromised and one point and did not want to fight back for fear of being Monstered.
The UK media are seriously deranged and once they feel they have any sort of ownership over you will act crazy – case in point Piers Morgan and Daniel Wooten.
I also think this is why Jacinta Arden resigned and then switched over to the dark side to work for William. Her husband was compromised in some way and in order to preserve a possible political comeback in the future she came to heel.
Same with Nicola Sturgeon and her husband, except in Nicola’s case she is being silenced util she agrees to cooperate.
Add also the Finnish Prime Minister who is harassed daily by right wing media.
I’m thinking that Orlando is Tory adjacent and therefore Katy is as well. I think Meghan gives absolutely no effs what Katie thinks. My impression of Duchess Sussex is that she’s old school classy and has no use for shenanigans because she really wants to make an impact on women and girls. Katy Perry’s critique is just noise.
Actually I think he’s to the left. I remember years ago at Misha Nonoo and Mikey Hess’ wedding there was a story about Orlando going up to Ivanka (early on in the Trump admin when people still held hope that she was a modifying influence) and basically saying “omg-please get through to your father.” I don’t think he’s “Tory adjacent.” There are also stories that he and Harry are friendly.
Katy was a huge campaigner for Hillary Clinton, she’s not a right-winger. I think this is just the British press seeing that Katy has agreed to sing for the coronation and seizing on anything they can dig up to pit another woman against Meg. It’s IS noise, but no need to drag Katy for the press’s bad take. There are plenty of people here who didn’t like her dress, either, and they’re not haters.
She supported Rick Caruso in the recent LA mayoral election. She’s at least right wing curious.
Isn’t her dad a big right winger? I guess
Katy grew up under that influence and her father wanted her to be a Christian singer. I think he’s a pastor. Anyway, supposedly Katy doesn’t agree with him but those roots run deep.
She is a busy woman, as is Meghan. What kind of people think that these two successful women sit around and plot against each other? That sounds more like the daft women sitting in a palace, who have nothing of their own to claim! Take a BIG JUMP into the 21st Century! LOL
But most people who didn’t like Meghan’s dress are not famous. As a celebrity, Katy Perry knew her comment would get headlines – she did it because she’s always been thirsty af and she was right in the middle of her flop era during Meghan’s wedding. Trolling for likes/hates/attention.
Personally, I don’t understand the criticism of Meghan’s dress as it looked lovely and simple and elegant. People seem to be criticising it because it was not skin-tight. You want to be able to sit down in your dress! And I’m not even a Meghan follower.
Do I think Meghan is obsessing over Katy’s 2018 remark in 2023? No. I highly doubt it.
It’s not even a criticism, is it? For sure Katy Perry would wear a skintight wedding dress. I guess she thought it was a put down since she felt the need to express her thoughts about another womans wedding dress. Meghan was pure class in that elegant dress. Perry’s default look is vulgar. Sorry, not sorry.
Katy should have had one or two more fittings with that black lace number she is wearing.
Should have trashed it…
Isn’t that the truth!!! Katy looks awful in that dress.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Totally!
This Met Gala mistake, the G’Day gala gaffe and her CMA TMI outfit – none of her clothes fit her right.
She is living in the glassiest of glass houses.
One boob is trying to run away from the whole situation!
No, this is just another way to connect Meghan to the coronation, even though she’s not attending. Next, we’ll be hearing that Meghan’s got a beef with Lionel Richie.
Kaiser, I was one who loved her wedding look from the start. The nod to the archival Givenchy worn by Hepburn in a photoshoot, the simplicity, how it skimmed instead of being skin-tight like other unfortunate royal wedding gowns. It suited her style.
I also vehemently didn’t want Meghan having lace on her dress because IMO Kate’s dress was 1) awful and 2) haters would say she was copying Kate with lace (when Kate’s dress was a knockoff of Orsini’s)
I thought it was the perfect dress. Very elegant and sophisticated. I think some folks were expecting something over the top and “ Hollywood” and Meghan took away their plans to bitch and moan and utter “tacky” and “ gauche” and “American “.
This right here. We all know American culture likes to do it all big and gauche. My own wedding was intimate, outdoor at my family’s riverside property, fifty people and I wore a white strapless a-line dupioni silk gown with zero tulle or embellishments. A very plain white tulle veil and a pair of barely there gold sandals and tiny pearl earrings. My bouquet was a soft array of pastel tulips to mimic the sunset. I actually wanted to elope but my husband really wanted his family there. Anyway, it was beautiful and simple and my stepsister (competitive to the last) told me “your wedding was beautiful – but mine will be fancier.” She insisted on getting married on Valentine’s Day, in a huge church, in the poofiest sparkliest gown, plunging sweetheart neckline, giant tiara topped veil, but the overall effect was so tryhard because she didn’t have the budget or frankly the taste to pull it off. I do not understand the need to put yourself into debt for a single day nor the desire to show everyone how expensive it all is. I get wanting to share joy with those you love. But I don’t gaf about what someone else’s wedding looks like in comparison to mine. I care about my marriage.
I’m someone who loves it more now than I did at the time. I didn’t dislike it. I was just not expecting it. It was so simple. Meghan set a bar. The brightness of that white fabric in the sun is glorious. It cannot be overstated how fairy-tale beautiful their wedding pictures are. Such a contrast to everything going on behind the scenes but still the pictures are gorgeous.
Right, I remember being disappointed at the time because I do love embellishment and lace, her veil was my favorite part. After I got over the disappointment I could appreciate that she went with an elegant modern, yet timeless, dress.
I totally agree. I didn’t love it at the time-but now I can appreciate it. It is beautiful.
I wrote my comment and then walked away for a few minutes so I missed yours saying same thing even mentioning Audrey. You are not alone! I loved her dress then and I still do. Classic Audrey and Jackie O vibe with the best fabrics, set off with that veil tiara and her face.
When you’re drop dead gorgeous and elegant, you do classic, silk and a boatneck because you can.
I hated the lace trend, never liked Kates dress (my comment below made mention of lace doily trend not related to Kate but now I realize she did wear that doily trend but I thought she was trying for Grace of Monaco at the time and almost made it).
Why does everyone think MM should have been showing her body off? I don’t get it. I’ll never understand the reaction to her dress.
I was one of those who thought the fit seemed a bit loose because the neckline seemed to gap a bit not because it wasn’t form fitting
+1
I tell you the wedding dress related grudge I would be holding – the fact that apparently the palace still has her wedding dress and is using it to make money. The dress she paid $500k for out of her personal funds. Free Meghan’s dress!
Really!? OMG!
That is NOT right!!! That infuriates me……🤬🤬🤬🤬
That should be included in with the reimbursement for FC!!!!
Omg! #FREEMEGHANSDRESS
I thought the dress was fabulous with no fitting issues. The pic of Perry is beyond revolting. Top 10 worst dresses ever.
In LA’s mayoral race last year, KP supported the white Republican turned Independent over the Black Democrat so…
Lots of Democrats voted for Rick Caruso.
Katy Perry SUCKS. She voted for that fake ass democrat in the Los Angeles Mayoral race and did so proudly. If it were not for American Idol she would have become Rita Ora with more hits. That being said, is Duchess Meghan really thinking about Katy Perry? I doubt it. This story probably comes from Orlando actually caring about Harry and by extension Meghan and wanting to show some solidarity? I’m probably wrong but it’s whatever when it comes to Katy.
Also, knowing what Meghan was going through with her terrible bio father and half sister and Waity harassing her about the bridesmaids dresses I get the extreme weight loss before her and Harry’s wedding.
It’s the fking daily star..aka the National inquirer.
Harry and Meghan have been in the same circles for years now.
This is why I was so annoyed when some people were pulling up old articles about the dress all over Twitter this past weekend because this is what comes from it.
I doubt Meghan or Katy P care.
Katy perry took the money that’s what it’s about.
Not everything has to be about Meghan and sometimes fans and media make it that way.
Going to the coronation makes sense for Katy who also did the tone deaf thing of accepting the position of British-Asian ambassador at the Prince’s Trust from Charles a few years ago, despite being neither British or Asian
Never a fan of Kathy Perry’s music. Never thought of her much until she bragged and endorsed Rick Caruso an anti abortionist and a racist over Karen Bass who won. The dress fitting was due to the amount of weight she loss from her tiny frame up to the lead up to her wedding. Harry mentioned this in his memoir that Meghan had loss a lot of weight which they attributed to the reason for her not getting pregnant as soon as they both wanted. In addition, he wrote of how sick they both were on their honeymoon. This is a reach for those folks to try to besmirch Meghan once again over gossip and nonsense. Pretty sure from what I have seen demonstrated by the Sussexes, Katy Perry at best would be an after thought to them if they even thought of her at all.
I didn’t understand the criticism of M’s dress then and I don’t now. I thought it was stunning, elegant, understated, and gorgeous. It was Audrey Hepburn meets Jackie O the royal version to me.
I never understood the complaints about it, but back then women were wearing what looked like Victorian doilies to me as wedding dresses so I figured they didn’t appreciate the fabric. Silk with a boat neckline, silk organza underneath. F ing fabulous.
Not everyone shows their privates off and feels the need for a corset like Katy. Different aesthetic for sure.
While its grown on me its just a little too simple for my taste. For a satin dress with no embellishments I prefer something with more structural detail like Crown Princess Victoria’s wedding dress.
The daily star’s “source” for this silly piece is Harry on Dax Shepard’s podcast. He mentioned Orlando Bloom alerting them to paparazzi shenanigans, that’s it. Everything else is just rubbish gossip. 🙄
The only thing any decent person should say about a bride on her wedding day is she looks beautiful.
Amen to that!
I don’t think Meghan thinks at all about Katy Perry. Why would she? Also, Meghan looked amazing on her wedding day, dress was gorgeous then, still looks amazing.
Hey Katy. L’il Kim called. You took one of her boob outfits and she wants it back.
More like L’il Naz.
Meghan has every right to hold a grudge against Katy’s comments about her dress being too big especially since we know now from Spare that she was losing weight due to stress from her dad -and Kate’s shenanigans. M&H had difficulty conceiving around that time and were told she had to put on a few pounds to conceive. People need to be more empathetic because we never know what others are going through bts.
Plus the fabric was quite thick and fitted a certain way. If the dress had been tighter she wouldn’t have been able to move. It was perfect. Less is more.
Why would she even think about an ass like Katy Perry? Perry’s comments around Meghan’s wedding dress were baseless anyway. And this from a person who lies through her teeth about her own boob job.
Love her. Hated the dress then, hate it now. That’s fine. I don’t need to love it and not everything is for everyone.
I’m unsurprised by Katy singing at the Coronation, because she was appointed an ambassdor of the British Asian Trust’s Children’s Protection Fund for India by him in 2020. Also not a fan of Katy (hello, voting history), but let’s look at the facts before bashing her so soundly and nastily. And really, who gaf about what Katy had to say about Meghan’s dress? Its all makework for more gossip.
I thought it was plain when I first saw the dress but as the ceremony went on I saw the genius of it. The veil and dress acted as a setting for the jewel that is Meghan’s face. There was nothing to distract or cover her face so we saw every blush, smile and emotion.
In Spare Harry addresses how stress caused Meghan to lose weight and how her Doctor was telling them she needed to gain at least 5 pounds in order to get pregnant. You could see she started losing weight closer to the wedding because of everything that was going on. Its probably why her dress was loose. Fortunately the dress style is timeless, she and Harry look happy, in love, and amazing in every photo so who cares about the fit.
The Corny books ONE somewhat currently relevant celebrity and immediately the press tries to link it to Meghan in a negative way. These people are ridiculous.
Whatever. How would the Mirror know anything about Meghan’s feelings?
I loved Meghan’s wedding dress. It was so understated and elegant, like her.
And LOL at Meghan holding a grudge over something so silly. As Serena Williams said, Meghan is — if anything — too nice.
I aways thought her dress was classic and timeless even when I first saw it . It’s simple, but simple is beautiful. You don’t need to dress like a slut(I’ve seen some wedding dresses revealing too much ) to think you look beautiful that day. 20 years from now people will look at Meghan’s dress and will still think it’s classic. And Meghan is a classic beauty wearing it. In regards to the British tabloid writing about Meghan having a beef with Katy. Let’s face the truth, the British media is having a beef with Meghan . They are obsessing over her and want to try to get exclusive content as she’s their money maker even though she’s left that country and moved thousands of miles back home to California.
I suppose we can about famous wedding dresses forever! The dress looked exquisite in motion. Meghan looked exquisite on her wedding day. In a couple of still pictures, I thought the dress looked a little loose, making one think that she must have lost weight, like probably many a bride before a wedding. Or gained weight. Stress does one or the other to a person. The fit of the Stella M. dress was perfection, but the material was drapey. The wedding dress material was not, but it needed to be weighty in order to carry the design. The fact that this story has resurfaced speaks to the petty mind-set of the BM. You have to be petty to write such a story.
I learned, at a museum exhibit of Jackie O’s dresses, that one of her first requests of Oleg Cassini was that he take her exact measurements, then “let everything out” (maybe an inch and a half?), so that the First Lady’s figure would still be emphasized without reading as “crass.” I just assumed that’s what Markle had to do — that any whisper of “body-con” would’ve proven to the naysayers she wasn’t right for the BRF. Of course the average person doesn’t have to think that way when being fitted.
How adorable that these people believe that Katy Perry occupies even one square centimeter of real estate in Meghan’s head. Our Duchess can’t be bothered to waste that kind of energy.
I always thought about the practicality – you’re climbing a bunch of stairs with everyone in view of your backside – I would NOT want to worry about my dress ripping as I went up the stairs because I needed it to be super bodycon. Her hair was lovely and relaxed, her bouquet was lovely and relaxed – I think she just wanted to have the same vibe in that moment with Harry that she had when they traveled together – authentically herself and not focused on anything other than their love. P.S. LOVED the dress from day one.
Katy Perry is pure trash. She showed her ass with her “blackface” design for her shoe line.

We see you, Katy. You can fuck off.
@beverley,. Wow, thanks for the link. I am speechless.
I’m not speechless – Katy Perry’s always been racist, transphobic, misogynist, homophobic – nothing new here.
Between her “Egyptian mummies” backing dancers for Dark Horse and her “geisha girl” dress-up – which turned out to be a cheongasm, not a kimono – she can’t even get her cultural appropriation right.
I mentioned Katy Perry’s b*tchy comments about Meghan in a post yesterday. The article posted here does not quote her entirely. Perry also fed into the Kate vs. Meghan fest and said that between the two, Meghan and Kate, “Kate won.”
Also, I noted that Perry was a big fan of Gary Janetti’s Instagram page that was constantly mocking Meghan. Perry just does not seem like a very nice person. However, when it comes to Kensington and Buckingham palaces, she would be viewed as being on their “side,” . At least this is how it plays out in the British tabloid press, they go after people that make nice comments about Meghan and support those that trash her.
Also, weren’t Perry and/or Orlando Bloom involved in an animation that mocked the Sussexes? Didn’t Bloom voice Harry?
Does Meghan hold a grudge against Katy Perry? I am pretty sure that Meghan is a much better person than that. But yeah, Katy Perry is trash and her performing at the Coronation tracks.
This coming from a woman who wore a bustier with whipped cream coming out of her tits. SMH…
When I first saw it I was surprised and wasn’t totally sure how I felt about it. Then I realized it’s perfectly in keeping with Meghan’s style and look how it became a HUGE trend for about two years. I completely appreciate it now!
I’ve always found KP to be performative, disingenuous and frankly tacky and not original. I don’t have strong feelings on OB but I wonder what it is like to have the husbands be friends and the wives likely not to be. Katy strikes me as deeply insecure and publicity-needy. I’ve had some moments where I’ve appreciated her artistically but she’s just another pop star who couldn’t really hack it and her job is to literally judge other performers who do it better.
Of course she didn’t like Meghan’s dress, Katy likes everything tight and loud. The opposite of Meghan’s style.
I have no idea how Meghan feels toward Perry, but I think it was a rude thing that she said. Not everything has to be skin tight. I thought Meghan’s dress was classy and beautiful.
THERE’S NO GRUDGE! PERIOD!
THE BM HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO! LET IT GO!
Frankly, I think Katy Perry is a thinly disguised right wing grifter, so I’m not surprised she has no problems playing the coronation.
meghan’s dress was the worst thing she’s worn thus far. boring and not unique, if you are gonna go simple, it should fit perfectly and it did not, did not flatter her body shape at all, and it wrinkled in a way that made the fabric look cheap. loved her post-ceremony gown and veil way more. but she looks happy in her dress and she loved it so that’s what matters.
pretty sure in terms of social hierarchy, Meghan and harry have done loads more to position themselves to be way above small ol’ katy perry. she’s def not thinking about her…
This is a non starter. What Katy Perry said was reported at the time since someone was going around asking the question of people. I didn’t care what she said then and I don’t now.
A wedding dress is very personal. I’m not sure if it gets more personal. I thought that Meghan chose wisely. She’s not a very tall woman (despite her high heels). The dress she chose did not stop your eye. You saw the entire dress, which was quite classic and will be a good choice for brides into the future. What I really fell in love with was the veil. It was so gorgeous. I think the dress was exactly what was needed to showcase that veil. Also, the tiara was a good choice. It wasn’t overpowering and worked well with the veil.
It’s okay if people’s taste are different. I can’t imagine that Meghan really cared one way or the other what other people thought of her dress. I thought it was obvious that she not only looked beautiful, but she felt beautiful. You can see that when you look at her face. Why would she pay attention to anyone else’s opinion?
Non story!
It’s interesting that this article uses the word “sources” but doesn’t narrow in on what makes this so-called source a credible source that would have access to anything regarding Meghan or Katy. The lack of those details makes it even less credible than the usual lies and propaganda these people write. What person would be close enough to Meghan that they would know what she thinks about some irrelevant and unnecessary comment about her dress from five years ago? We all know that they have been able to live a relatively leak free life since leaving the UK and part of that is because they have surrounded themselves with trustworthy people who wouldn’t be sources for any of these people who are writing these articles and books.
I loved her wedding dress from the moment she stepped out of the car. I didn’t see anything wrong with the fit or style of the dress. To me she looked gorgeous and the way Harry looked at her the moment they locked eyes, told me that the only two people whose opinions mattered, loved the dress and how it fit and looked on her. Their smiles, stolen glances, giggles, holding of hands and how I thought that I was intruding on a special moment that was just between the two of them, is what made it the best royal wedding IMO. So Katy’s opinion to me was forgettable the moment she said it. We know now the absolute hell that Meghan was going through which caused her to lose weight. Harry spoke about how that weightloss made it difficult for them to conceive right away. At that time she was overwhelmed with everything and per doctors orders she had to gain weight before they were able to finally conceive Archie. The article doesn’t confirm anything, it’s just repeating parts of old five year old stories to make headlines. They moved to the same town as them. They communicate with each other about the intrusive press and seem to have made their lives as normal as possible under the watchful eyes of the media. This is just an attempt to use Meghan to distract from the disaster that is the royal family and the backlash from their attacks of Meghan and her children.
Oh for fuck’s sake.
How gleefully ready people are to pit women against each other when you give them the chance.
Katy years ago made a comment about which dress she preferred, Kate’s or Meghan’s. Because someone asked her that dumb ass question.
Either Meghan is the kind of woman who obsesses over every single thing said in the media about her, big or small, for years and keeps a burn book or a shit list under her pillow, or she is intelligent and graceful enough to dismiss noise, know which comments cut deep or are meant maliciously, and is capable of not holding someone not liking her wedding dress against that person *years later*.
People think they’re defending Meghan by trashing Katy Perry, but it’s just playing in to the narrative of super petty Meghan, which is exactly what people who -truly- wish her ill want.
I always thought the fit was intentional. It’s the blue jeans, white t-shirt version of a wedding dress. Classic, simple but comfortable enough to move around in during a long day. It seemed to fit with Meghan’s style to me, she’s at this big formal occasion but still wanted to relax and have fun. Same with her hair
Doubtful- and since when is Katy known for her fashion sense?
Bollocks. Duchess Meghan doesn’t hold grudges. She gracefully moves on and lives her best life, unbothered and concentrating on what really matters to her– her family, friends and philanthropy.
Along with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry is one of the LAST people I’d be taking fashion advice from, and it’s pretty obvious that “subtle” and “timeless” are NOT in Katy’s fashion wheelhouse. And I actually don’t even care about her comments about Meghans wedding dress. Her style has always annoyed me.
