In the book “The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power” American biographer Tom Bower claims that the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markleseemed to believe himself superior to Victoria Beckhamwife David Beckhamdue to his status in the British royal family.
According to the letter published last Thursday, June 20, at first, Markle “believed herself superior” to Victoria. The Californian actress felt that she had little in common with the former Spice Girl and she considered herself privileged by her position in royalty. “In the celebrity world where Meghan came from, social hierarchy depended on wealth and fame,” Bower wrote. Despite this, Meghan was surprised to discover the fortune of the Beckhams, who owned five homes and had access to private jets and yachts.
Despite Meghan’s attitude, the Beckhams made efforts to establish a good relationship due to their friendship with the princes. Harry and william. When Meghan moved into Kensington Palace, Victoria offered her advice on facials and hair salons in London, England. The Duchess also requested free clothes and handbags from Victoria, although the Palace forbade this as going against royal rules.
During a visit to Los Angeles, California, United States, Meghan stayed at the Beckhams’ Beverly Hills home, claiming she wanted to avoid the paparazzi. “All of her needs were met at no charge by the Beckhams’ staff,” Bower wrote. Although some suggested that Markle was taking advantage of his status, the Beckhams chose to ignore those signs.
The relationship between Meghan and Victoria deteriorated after the British tabloid The Sun published that Victoria had given makeup advice to the interpreter. This report angered Meghan, who felt violated by the media. Harry complained to David Beckham, who confronted his wife. Although she blamed a beautician, Bower suggests he may have been a publicist for the Beckhams.
Another factor that aggravated the relationship was David Beckham’s friendship with Prince William, which bothered the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. As a result, Meghan and Harry did not invite the Beckhams to their wedding lunch, despite including other celebrities such as American actor George Clooney.
Tension between the couples continues, with anonymous sources stating that a reconciliation is unlikely. The accusation of leaking information about the Sussexes to the press infuriated David Beckham. Furthermore, in his previous book, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” (2022)Bower mentioned other incidents, such as Meghan’s refusal to return shoes from the Italian brand Aquazzura and her complaints about the size of a hotel room.
