Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration brought attention to the rumored rift between her and the Sussexes, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Despite their former closeness, the Sussexes were conspicuously absent from the star-studded event.
David Beckham has been a long-time friend of Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William. During her Spice Girls era, Victoria Beckham interacted with the princes on several occasions.
Initially, it seemed that the Beckhams were supportive of Harry and Meghan when they started dating. Victoria reportedly shared her connections with Meghan, providing her with contacts for hairstylists and stylists in London.
However, tensions arose when reports of Victoria’s assistance to Meghan were published. Harry confronted David, alleging that close friends were leaking stories about them. Meghan reportedly suspected Victoria, leading to an acrimonious phone call between David and Harry.
Despite this, Harry asked David to be an ambassador for the Invictus Games. However, things took a turn when Harry allegedly refused to meet David at the Sydney event in 2018. It was speculated that Meghan’s fear of media attention led to Harry distancing himself from his friend.
Despite the growing distance, Meghan continued to wear Victoria Beckham designs. However, she had previously expressed that the silhouette of the label’s dresses did not flatter her body type.
The alleged falling out between the Beckhams and the Sussexes has drawn attention to the dynamics of their once-close friendship.
