The Beckhams have had enough after Harry and Meghan accused them of spreading lies to the press.
HIGHLIGHTS
David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly cut ties with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after a dramatic phone call where they accused the Beckhams of spreading lies to the media.
Rumors of a feud between the two couples have been circulating since last year, and speculation grew when Harry and Meghan didn’t invite the Beckhams to their son’s wedding.
Royal expert Tom Bower claims in his book that Meghan suspected Victoria Beckham of indiscretion, leading to a confrontation between Harry and David, damaging their relationship. The Beckhams are said to be “absolutely bloody furious.”
David and Victoria Beckham doted on each other as they watched the Inter Miami CF VS Orlando City during the League’s Cup, featuring Lionel Messi. The couple were photographed sitting court side with a variety of other famous faces as they watched the game intensely.
It was hard to gauge that anything was amiss between the couple, but reports say they’ve had a huge falling out with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who they once considered close friends.
The Beckhams Cut Harry & Meghan Off After A Dramatic Phone Call
According to the Mail on Sunday, the Beckham discovered that Harry and Meghan were telling people the couple had spread lies about them to the media. Harry and Meghan have been vocal about their disdain from the press, citing it as one of the major reason they left the U.K. for a less public life in Los Angeles.
“David and Victoria went to Meghan and Harry’s wedding and were very supportive when Meghan arrived in the U.K.” a source explained.
So, when they discovered what Harry and Meghan were telling people, the Beckhams felt slighted. The insider says the former friends had a “tense phone call,” but have now officially cut ties. “Any making up now is so unlikely,” the insider said, calling David and Victoria “absolutely bloody furious.”
Harry & Meghan Accused The Beckhams Of Turning The Media Against Them
Rumors of a feud between the Beckhams and Harry and Meghan have been brewing since last year. Though David and Victoria were present for the royal couple’s 2018 nuptials, they didn’t extend an invite to their son’s 2022 wedding to American heiress Nicola Peltz.
Speculation that Harry and Meghan believed David and Victoria were spreading stories about to them to the press began circulating last month.
“Every night [Harry and Meghan] scoured the internet to read the newspaper reports and the trolls’ postings on social media,” royal expert Tom Bower claimed in his book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.
“Irrationally, they grouped the two together and fed each other’s frenzy about the media,” he went on. “Convinced that as champions of goodness they were being persecuted by mendacity and racism, they felt victimized by the mildest criticism.”
Bower said that Meghan “suspected Victoria Beckham of indiscretion,” which led to Harry confronting David. “Outraged, Beckham’s truthful denials damaged their relationship,” the royal expert went on, appearing to reference the infamous phone call that severed their friendship for good.
For now, neither the Beckhams nor Windors have commented on the suspected feuds between their families. But this isn’t the only stark claim that Bower makes in his book. He goes into detail about Harry and Meghan’s relationship with his family, claiming that Meghan made Duchess Kate Middleton cry during dress fittings for her wedding. Moreover, Bower says Queen Elizabeth was relieved when Meghan decided not to return to the U.K. for Prince Phillip’s 2021 funeral.
Although Harry and Meghan may have relocated to California to escape the publicity they were facing in his native U.K., it appears drama continues to follow them wherever they go.
