Once upon a time, Meghan Markle considered Victoria Beckham one of her close A-list friends. Meghan wore many of Victoria’s designs, the Beckhams were invited to the royal wedding *and* were friendly with both Prince William and Prince Harry, so it seemed like a great A-list friendship. But we have since discovered that things weren’t as rosy as they seemed…
According to previous reports – and Tom Bower’s tell-all book, The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power – the Duchess of Sussex and the Spice-Girl-turned-fashion-designer’s relationship reportedly turned sour after Victoria discovered that Meghan thought she was better than her.
Bower wrote in his book, “Meghan deluded herself that her status in the royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.” And Victoria was reportedly less-than-thrilled when she found out how Meghan really felt, which then caused the alleged feud between the Beckhams and the Sussexes.
Victoria Beckham's Friend Reportedly Confirms That She 'Never Really Liked' Meghan Markle
Bower explained in his book that Posh Spice humored the American Riviera Orchard founder at the time and gave her outfits, as well as tips on where to get the best beauty treatments, because she and David Beckham were so close with Prince William and Prince Harry. However, a friend has since confirmed what we suspected all along: that Victoria never really liked Meghan!
"The truth is that Victoria never really liked Meghan much," a friend of the Beckhams reportedly told the Daily Mail, adding: "She was friendly and welcoming to her but is not bothered about staying in touch." Ouch!
The insider also said that neither David nor Victoria seem to be too sad about terminating their friendship with the Sussexes, especially because they disapprove of the way they have treated the other members of the royal family.
"Both David and Victoria put great importance on family and would never, ever turn on their relations the way that Harry and Meghan did," the friend added.
Let's not forget that Prince William and David Beckham are very close due to the fact that Prince William is president of the FA, so it isn't too shocking to learn that the soccer star is more likely to side with the future King over the Spare author.
Meghan Markle Reportedly Thinks It's 'Ridiculous' To Care About David And Victoria Beckham's Opinions On Her And Prince Harry
Prince William's ongoing friendship with the soccer star is reportedly something that Prince Harry is all too aware of – and he reportedly wants to use it to his advantage! According to reports, the Duke of Sussex wants to repair his relationship with David in the hopes that he can eventually repair his relationship with his older brother. However, Meghan is currently standing in his way…
"Meghan feels it's ridiculous to even care what the Beckhams think," a source reportedly told Closer, adding: "Instead, she has her sights set on making friendships with much more powerful people, like Kamala Harris."
"As far as she's concerned, it's beneath them to be begging the Beckhams for approval," the source continued. "But Harry knows how much William values David's friendship, and his hope is that getting David's seal of approval could help soften things with his brother."
