Queen Mary\u2019s Diamond Bandeau<\/a>,\u00a0but when they asked the queen\u2019s\u00a0royal dresser, Angela Kelly, if Markle could try the tiara on before the wedding, Kelly went silent.<\/p>\nWhen they finally got in touch with her, she said that the tiara could not leave the palace without \u201can ordinance and police escort,\u201d Harry wrote.<\/p>\n

According to Hardman, Elizabeth\u2019s royal dresser, Angela Kelly, wouldn\u2019t let the couple take the tiara out of the palace so Markle could try it on. Getty Images<\/p>\n
\u201cThat seemed to us a little exaggerated,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was obvious they were putting up obstacles, but why? It didn\u2019t occur to us what motives they might have.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Duke of Sussex also said he considered calling his grandmother, but he wasn\u2019t sure who she\u2019d \u201cside\u201d with.<\/p>\n
According to Hardman, insiders claimed that Elizabeth found out about the drama and sided with Kelly, because she was allegedly upset that Harry was calling Buckingham Palace demanding the tiara for Markle immediately. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a toy,\u201d Elizabeth said at the time, per Hardman\u2019s book.<\/p>\n

Insiders further detailed how Harry allegedly acted when he was trying to get the tiara for his now-wife. <\/p>\n
\u201cHarry had been on to everyone about this. We thought Angela was like the fairy godmother who had delivered,\u201d a source told Hardman. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut when she called Kensington Palace, she was put through to Prince Harry who just said, \u2018Get it here now.\u2019 And that was the end of the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n
In \u201cSpare,\u201d Harry claimed that Kelly asked him to sign a release for the tiara. After he did so, he told her, \u201cIt would\u2019ve made our lives so much easier to have had it sooner,\u201d which sparked a fight between the two of them.<\/p>\n

Both Hardman and Harry also said in their respective books that Harry got into a fight with Kelly over the tiara. Getty Images<\/p>\n
A staffer told Hardman that during the fight, Harry allegedly told Kelly he \u201cdid not like her whining to his grandmother.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Kelly \u201cgave it straight back\u201d to the prince, Hardman writes, adding that the royal dresser told off Harry for \u201cgetting all these people to push her when she was just doing her job.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll Angela did was to try to protect them,\u201d a former colleague told Hardman.<\/p>\n

For her royal wedding, Markle, 44, ultimately wore Queen Mary\u2019s Diamond Bandeau, centerpiece of which is a 10-diamond brooch that Mary of Teck received as a wedding gift from the County of Lincoln in 1893.<\/p>\n
The \u201cSuits\u201d alum and Harry, 41, got married in front of around 600 guests at St. George\u2019s Chapel.<\/p>\n
