Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly in the middle of a “bitter rift” with David and Victoria Beckham despite being friendly for years
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly royally fallen out with their friends David and Victoria Beckham.
Former England football captain David and Harry have known each other for years and worked together on numerous charity events before joining forces in the campaign for London to host the 2012 Olympics. The Beckhams also attended Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May 2018.
But after the Duke of Sussex asked David to be an ambassador for the Invictus Games, things reportedly turned sour when Harry refused to see the former England football captain at the event in Sydney in 2018. Now it’s being claimed that the reason Harry was keeping his friend at arms’ length was Meghan – as she feared Victoria was leaking stories about her to the press.
“Having flown half-way around the world, he was perplexed why officials after he arrived at the sporting venue were playing a dance to keep him happy, but away from Harry,” royal expert Tom Bower writes for The Sun. “The reason for the distance was Meghan, the newly married Duchess of Sussex. She wanted no competition in the media from David, and especially not from his wife, Victoria.”
