David and Victoria Beckham are “horrified” by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s criticism of the Royal Family, it has been claimed.
The couple “have not been impressed” with the Sussexes’ TV appearances in which they have made a wide range of damaging claims about the royals.
Royal expert and journalist Richard Eden says Prince William’s recent work with David Beckham shows that the former footballer has sided with the Windsors over Harry and Meghan.
Speaking to the Daily Mail Palace Confidential show, Mr Eden said: “It says that he (David) wants to be associated with royalty, and it is also interesting in the context of Prince Harry because Beckham has been good friends with him in the past. He attended Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
“From everything I have heard, he and his wife Victoria have not been impressed with the way Harry and Meghan have behaved.

“For them, family is everything. They are really close to both sets of parents and families. This idea of going on TV and attacking their family…if you talk to an associate of theirs who said it just horrified them.
“It is really everything they don’t agree with.
“The Beckhams are becoming increasingly well known in America, David has this soccer team in Miami. You’d think they could be a part of that court of Harry and Meghan…that really hasn’t happened. They have made clear they want to align themselves with the Windsors.”
Mr Eden’s comments come after David helped William raise money for the London Air Ambulance service earlier this week.

David explained his involvement in the cause as he and William met staff and crew at RAF Northolt.
They also climbed aboard a helicopter and posed for pictures in order to help raise awareness.
In recent years, various reports have alleged that relations between the Sussexes and the Beckhams has soured.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Both David and Victoria put great importance on family and would never, ever turn on their relations the way that Harry and Meghan did.
“The truth is that Victoria never really liked Meghan much. She was friendly and welcoming to her but is not bothered about staying in touch.”
