Meghan Markle ‘holds GRUDGE’ against Katy Perry over ‘one more fitting’ jibe about wedding dress
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA: According to the reports, Meghan Markle,41, is still resentful of Katy Perry, 37, for comparing her wedding dress to Kate Middleton's gown in a comment about it. Perry and her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom, live next door to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Santa Barbara, California. The 'Lord of the Rings' actor is familiar with the Duke, but his wife is reportedly leery of the singer.
According to an inside source who spoke to OK! magazine, the former 'Suits' star is "famous for holding grudges" and is "keenly aware of a comment that Katy Perry made about her wedding dress in 2018." Meghan Markle reportedly "felt under siege at that time and was overwhelmed by arguments with staff, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Thomas Markle," despite the fact that the "comment wasn't meant to be hurtful."

Prince Harry and his wife stepped down from royal duties in 2020, and the former actress and her husband moved to Montecito, California, in the US. While there have been rumors that the Duke of Sussex has become friends with actor Orlando Bloom from Hollywood, the same cannot be said for each of their wives.
The aforementioned remark was made in an interview Perry gave in 2018, during which she opened up about the Givenchy Haute Couture wedding dress the Duchess of Sussex wore on May 19, 2018, to her nuptials. She spoke with Entertainment Tonight, "I would have done one more fitting. I’m never not going to tell the truth! One more fitting, but I love you." The singer joked, "Kate, Kate, Kate won, Kate won," believing Kate Middleton's wedding gown to be superior.
Meghan wed Prince Harry in 2018 at St. George's Chapel, and for the extravagant ceremony, she wore a simple white gown created by British designer Clare Waight Keller under the Givenchy label.
However, the 37-year-old commended Meghan Markle for her charitable work and said, "The humanitarian work she is doing with all of this is incredible. I adore everything about her, including the fact that she is a proud feminist. I love her for who she is as a woman and I hope the best for them both."
Meghan talked about how the ideal dress was made a few months after the wedding. "I had a very distinct idea of how I wanted the day to go, as well as how I wanted the dress to look, she said. Clare completely respected my vision for the day and wanted to make it a reality for me, which was amazing because sometimes designers will try to steer you in a different direction."
She continued, "In so many ways, you are realizing dreams that as a girl and as a woman, you will have been considering for years."
