In a surprising turn of events, tensions between the Princess of Wales and Meghan have emerged due to their shared love for a high-end fashion brand and the battle for first access to luxury designs.

Both Kate and Meghan are avid fans of British designer Erdem Moral Iglu, with the Duchess of Sussex developing a fondness for his clothes during her acting career.

However, once Meghan joined the royal family, it seems the Princess of Wales was given priority, as she was already an existing customer.

Recent rumors suggest that the reason Erdem Moral Iglu prioritized orders for Catherine, the Princess of Wales, over those for Meghan may be linked to an incident involving a dress loaned to Meghan for the 2017 Invictus Games.

Sources close to the situation reveal that Erdem had been a favorite designer of Catherine’s for quite some time, and she even paid for her own dresses from the designer.

These sources also hint that Catherine’s habit of re-wearing Erdem designs may have earned her a discount, establishing her as an unofficial brand ambassador.

On the other hand, Meghan’s alleged desire for a similar discount or even free clothes from Erdem might have faced resistance.

The designer reportedly made it clear that past loans did not guarantee preferential treatment in the future.

It is worth noting that Catherine’s status as a long-standing and paying customer of Erdem’s may have influenced the designer’s decision to prioritize her orders.

Her higher profile and tendency to repeatedly wear the garments could have made her a more appealing choice.

While rumors circulate about Meghan’s failure to return the loaned dress, it is important to consider past behavior as an indicator of future actions.

Reports have surfaced of Meghan accidentally walking off with a pair of shoes from a Raipman’s photo shoot in 2015, as well as losing borrowed jewelry during the Australian tour.

These incidents raise questions about Meghan’s tendency to keep borrowed items.

Consequently, her actions, if true, would not have been advantageous for her position in the queue for designer garments.

Catherine’s status as a loyal customer would likely have earned her priority regardless.

In an interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby, the Duke of Sussex revealed that Prince William and Kate never anticipated his relationship with someone like Meghan, who had a highly successful career.

When asked about the reasons behind the strained relationship between the two women, Harry explained that it was due to numerous factors.

He noted that in the media, the narrative quickly shifted to Meghan versus Kate.

Harry recounted a crucial meeting in June 2018, held inside apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, where he, Meghan, William, and Kate attempted to clear the air.

Meghan acknowledged the tension among the four of them, detailing a misunderstanding that had almost gone unnoticed.

According to Harry, Kate believed that Meghan wanted to rely on her fashion contacts, but Meghan had her own.

It seemed they had simply started off on the wrong foot.

Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majdi Magazine and a royal biographer, believes that Kate will be upset and angry with Harry for speaking out about her.

The revelation of their disagreements regarding Meghan’s integration into the family and Kate’s alleged stereotyping of Meghan has created a barrier between them.

As the fashion feud continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this clash over designer brands will impact the relationship between the Princess of Wales and Meghan.
