Prince Harry accused of making 'pregnancy dig' at Kate Middleton and royal fans were not happy

Prince Harry has been accused of making a 'dig' towards Kate Middleton in his memoir, Spare.

The Duke of Sussex released his book back in January 2023, and opened up on his life as a member of the royal family.

The book made claims about the father-of-two's relationship with his older brother Prince William, their father, King Charles III, and his stepmother, Queen Camilla.

For example, Harry claims that he was knocked to the floor by William after allegedly hearing how wife Meghan Markle was ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’.

He also sensationally claimed that Meghan had allegedly upset Kate with a comment she made ahead of their wedding at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, in 2018.

It’s understood that the Suits actress was accused of ‘offending’ the Princess of Wales by saying she must have been suffering from ‘baby brain’ because she forgot something inconsequential.

"You talked about my hormones. We are not close enough for you to talk about my hormones!,” Kate allegedly said, as per Spare.

Royal fans reading the memoir were blown away by some of the claims in the book. In fact, they honed in one particular section, claiming that Harry had made a 'dig' at Kate, in reference to one of her pregnancies.

In all three of Kate's pregnancies, she suffered from a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).

Fast-forward to Harry releasing Spare, and an excerpt about Meghan's pregnancy left some fans questioning whether the Duke of Sussex could have been making a subtle 'dig' at his sister-in-law.

"Days later the pregnancy was announced publicly," he wrote.

"The papers reported that Meg was battling fatigue and dizzy spells and couldn't hold any food down, especially in the mornings, all of which was untrue.

"She was tired, but otherwise a dynamo.

"Indeed, she felt lucky not to be suffering severe morning sickness, since we were embarking on a hugely demanding tour."

One person commented on Reddit: "'No morning sickness' digging at Princess Catherine who had severe morning sickness with her pregnancies. Of course, Meg is a dynamo while pregnant."

And another wrote: "Such a dig toward anyone with morning sickness, but especially hyperemesis gravidarium like Catherine had."

HG is characterised by extreme vomiting and nausea in pregnancy.

Speaking on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, Happy Mum, Happy Baby, Kate recalled: "I got very bad morning sickness, so I’m not the happiest of pregnant people.

"It was definitely a challenge. Not just for me but also for your loved ones around you – and I think that’s the thing – being pregnant and having a newborn baby and things like that, impacts everybody in the family.”
