Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham were believed to have one of the strongest friendships.
Prince Harry had always maintained a good relationship with ex-footballer David Beckham, and he tried to get his wife Meghan to hit it off with the designer and her partner as well.
In fact, David and Victoria were invited to the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. However, everything changed soon after.
The relationship between the two couples has deteriorated, and according to several reports, Meghan and Victoria are no longer on speaking terms.
At first, it was mentioned that Meghan accused the fashion designer of leaking information about her and Harry to the press, which triggered a fight that ended their friendship. This version was supported by Tom Bower in his book “House of Beckham.”
What happened between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham?
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield suggests that the discord between Meghan and Victoria “boils down to jealousy.”
In a conversation with Fox News, the royal expert stated, “Ultimately, I believe it was envy that caused the fallout.”
Schofield continued, “We certainly have examples of Meghan accusing Victoria of leaking stories to the press when it was actually a salon receptionist with a pair of loose lips, but I think it all boils down to jealousy today.”
He further noted that “Victoria Beckham is the antithesis of Meghan Markle. [She] is creative, forward-thinking, hard-working, she executes, she hustles in silence. Victoria pursues advice from people she considers smarter than she is, and she implements it.”
The royal commentator also mentioned that both Victoria and her husband are wealthy and that her star is still on the rise, while Harry and Meghan’s seems to be on the decline.
Schofield stated that several of Meghan’s projects announced this year have not come to fruition and stressed that no matter what the Sussexes do, the criticism will always be there.
“When Meghan does manage to create something… people are critical because they have lost faith in the Harry and Meghan brand due to their negativity and dishonesty.”
The friendship between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham has shifted from one of the strongest to a relationship marked by estrangement and speculation.
