Mumbai, Aug 1 (TIWN): Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has garnered the media spotlight for various reasons since her marriage to Prince Harry, younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales. She is grabbing eyeballs for her differences with the other members of the British Royal Family, her fashion choices and so on.

Tom Bower's recent audiobook ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors', reveals some interesting and startling facts from the life of Meghan. Here are a few anecdotes from the audiobook:

"Meghan did not feel the same towards Kate. Within a short time, she complained that Kate had not adequately welcomed her."

As both Meghan and Kate come from different family backgrounds and have a different outlook or values, they don't come across having very good terms with each other. So, there were certain differences like about following the dress code as per the royal traditions.

According to Bower: "The tension troubled Kate when she arrived with Charlotte, her three-year-old daughter, at a fitting for the bridesmaids' dresses."

As per the audiobook, there was disagreement between the two regarding whether the bridesmaids should wear tights or not for the wedding. "Following the protocol, Kate believed they should. The Californian was uninterested in royal tradition. By then, Kate was also irritated by complaints of Meghan bullying her staff. That disagreement was followed by an argument about the length of Charlotte's hem. Kate thought it was too short, and anyway did not fit," adds Tom.

This escalated when Melissa Toubati, Meghan's assistant, and the dress-fitters employed by Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller, witnessed Meghan emphatically reject Kate's observation. "The stand-offs, Kate decided, confirmed the complaints by Toubati and other members of staff about Meghan, Kate burst into tears."

This doesn't end here. "After leaving that unhappy scene, Kate decided to make amends. She crossed the Kensington Palace corridor and presented Meghan with a bunch of flowers. Kate also told Meghan not to speak rudely to her staff. ‘That's unacceptable.' What followed can never be irrefutably established. In Kate's version, Meghan slammed the door in her face and threw the flowers in a dustbin. Meghan would tell Oprah Winfrey that the tears were shed by her, not Kate, and the flowers were an apology. ‘I think that's where everything changed,' Meghan rightly said."
