Once close friends, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship with David and Victoria Beckham has reportedly soured over recent years, with various incidents contributing to the rift.

The tension escalated when the Sussexes accused the Beckhams of leaking stories to the press and Meghan allegedly disapproved of Victoria’s friendship with Prince William.

Despite their once-close bond, recent events have strained their relationship further. Reports suggest that King Charles met David Beckham during Prince Harry’s recent visit to the UK, adding to the speculation surrounding their dynamic.

Their alleged distaste towards the Beckhams friendship with the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, was furthered last year when David flew from Qatar to Boston during the World Cup to help William and Kate with their philanthropic efforts.

The history of their friendship includes moments of connection, such as Meghan’s starstruck encounter with Victoria in 2013 and the Beckham family’s support for Harry and Meghan. However, instances like the alleged wedding invitation snub and accusations of story leaks have created friction.

Despite efforts to mend the relationship, including Victoria’s makeup advice and Meghan wearing her designs, tensions persist. The Beckham’s absence from Brooklyn’s wedding and reports of the Sussexes’ exclusion from Beckham events indicate a rift that may be challenging to repair.
