BECKS' BATTLE Victoria Beckham doesn’t have any time to think about Meghan Markle fallout – and has distanced herself for key reason

VICTORIA Beckham ‘doesn’t have time’ to think about her fallout with Meghan Markle, says royal pro.

Not only this, but according to Ingrid Seward, royal expert and author, there’s a key reason Posh, 50 and Becks, 49, have distanced themselves from Prince Harry, 40 and Meghan Markle, 43.

The Duchess of Sussex is set to star in her very own cooking show, on the back of her launching her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, which has reportedly finished filming but doesn’t yet have a release date.

It’s her second project with Netflix after her 2022 reality docuseries, Harry & Meghan, which gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at their life.

But whilst the release date of Meghan’s upcoming Netflix cooking show hasn’t been revealed, we recently saw the announcement of her ex-best friend Victoria Beckham’s new Netflix documentary.

The House of VB will hit screens next year – and will provide a compelling insight into one of the most recognised women in the world and her journey to build a fashion empire.

Through access to Victoria herself, an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her business, never-before-seen archive detailing her fashion journey, her family and those closest to her, the series will tell the story of Victoria’s reinvention as a Creative Director of her own brand.

But after Meghan and Victoria’s ‘bitter rift’, according to Ingrid Seward, the chances of a reconciliation between the pair is looking slim.

The editor of ‘Majesty’ magazine tells Fabulous: “I only think they would reconcile if they come across each other, and I’m not sure that they really do.

“I can’t think that their paths would particularly cross again.”

Ingrid recognises the key reason why Victoria and David have distanced themselves from the Sussexes.

She adds: “I think the Beckhams have distanced themselves from Meghan and Harry, but for the obvious reasons that we all know, you know Meghan and Harry are in the descendant, not the ascendant.

“[Posh] is actually too busy. She’s got a business. She’s got a very successful husband. She’s got houses all over the place. She’s got children.

“I don’t think she probably has any time to think about it really.”

How confident Meghan Markle hit the spotlight aged 12

MEGHAN Markle proved herself as a feminist long before hitting the spotlight – pushing for change at just 12.

Footage of the US actress as a school student has surfaced, with the young woman having written letters demanding for a cleaning ad to change their sexist ad’s phrasing from “women” to “people”.

Meghan had taken issue with Ivory’s ad for dishwasher soap, that claimed “women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans”.

Taking up a pen and paper, the determined student wrote to the company, asking for them to make a change – and they did.

Nickelodeon footage of Meghan explaining just why she had decided to speak out has since resurfaced, with the fresh-faced student already well-spoken and thoughtful.

Speaking to the camera, she explained: “I said – wait a minute, how could someone say that?”

She said that she realised a number of commercials would hurt people’s feelings, and was determined to make a change.

In the 1993 interview, she said: “I don’t think it is right for kids to grow up thinking that mom does everything.

“If you see something that you don’t like or offended by on television or any other place, write letters and send them to the right people and you can really make a difference, not just for yourself but for lots of other people.”

According to Ingrid, the mum-of-two, who is based in California with Prince Harry, 40, and their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, in a sprawling £12 million, nine-bedroom mansion in Montecito, has a slightly different story to that of the Beckham’s.

She continues: “If Victoria Beckham’s is a success, which I’m sure it will be, I think it’s got more chances of boosting Meghan’s.

“The Beckhams are so popular and they haven’t really upset anyone in the way that Meghan has, so they’re starting with a clean slate.

“They are so incredibly successful, and it’s all through their own hard work. And people love that it’s a rags to riches story, whereas Meghan’s is a riches to rags story.”

Prince Harry’s ‘snub’ of David Beckham in Australia

AFTER flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at Prince Harry’s request, David Beckham was puzzled why the prince had not met him.

But the prince had had no plans to see the former England football captain, nor even of being pictured with him, claimed Tom Bower.

It was October 2018, and Harry was hosting the Invictus Games.

Since David had played a prominent role bringing the 2012 Olympics to Britain and an important part in the 2010 unsuccessful bid for the football World Cup, it seemed natural for Prince Harry to ask David to join him at the celebrated competition for injured servicemen.

As a man who loved the royals, David would never refuse such an important request.

But having flown half-way around the world, he was perplexed why officials after he arrived at the sporting venue were playing a dance to keep him happy, but away from Harry.

She wanted no competition in the media from David, and especially not from his wife, Victoria.

The reason for the distance was Meghan, the newly married Duchess of Sussex.

The Beckhams and the Sussexes enjoyed a close friendship, but cracks have formed in the last few years.

The Duke of Sussex allegedly called David, 49, to accuse him and his wife Victoria, 50, of leaking stories, leaving David ‘furious.’

David was also “snubbed” by Harry after flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal’s request, for the 2018 Invictus Games.

Cracks first started emerging in the pair’s friendship in spring 2022 when the former footballer invited Prince William and Kate to his son Brooklyn’s wedding – and not Harry and Meghan.

At the time, a source said: “David’s attachment and history go back with William and Kate and they have a very strong relationship and they were their choice of wedding guests.

“It was always about them, it was never about Meghan and Harry.

“They are the people David and Victoria are attached to and it’s always been about them because they’ve had a long history together.”

Everything we know about Meghan Markle’s new business, American Riviera Orchard

MEGHAN Markle has launched a new Instagram brand called American Riviera Orchard.

Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.

A source told the Mail: “It’s a lifestyle and cooking brand called American Riviera Orchard.

“The brand is meant to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show for Netflix.

“Meghan will be making, and selling, products such as jams. And at some point there will be a book and blog etc.”

Meghan’s non-fiction show, which according to Deadline will feature Meghan celebrating “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”, seems to complement the Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

A title for the show or the format has not been revealed yet, but a source told US Weekly that the series “is going to be a take on her and the joy of living. [There will be] little things she’s learned in terms of being a modern-day hostess.”

In July, a Hollywood source told the Daily Beast that production had wrapped and said: “It all went well and it is in the can.”

When it comes to the potential public response to the show, according to Ingrid, Meghan hopes that it will have the same reception as Posh and Becks’ ‘Beckham’ show had.
