In his upcoming memoir "I Am Roland Mouret: The Butcher's Boy Who Dressed the World," French designer Roland Mouret reveals that he fell out with Duchess Meghan Markle after one of his assistants mistakenly contacted Kate Middleton’s stylist at Kensington Palace to return dresses loaned to Markle. This blunder reportedly embarrassed Markle so much that she called Mouret in a rage, declaring she could never wear his designs again. Although Mouret attempted to apologize and explain the mistake, Markle refused to accept it, citing her need for privacy during the royal wedding preparations. Following this incident, Markle was seen wearing what Mouret described as a “cheap high street copy” of one of his designs, prompting him to text her and call her behavior "ridiculous." The designer concludes that Meghan’s decision not to wear his clothes was ultimately hers, emphasizing that no one else cared about the mix-up.
