Meghan Markle sent a thre@tening letter to Victoria Beckham after she was given a title by King Charles (video)

A new tell-all book about the Beckhams has just laid out one of the instigating reasons that Megan Markle and Victoria Beckham have gone from besties to no longer speaking.

The tension between the two has been brewing since shortly after Markle’s marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.

Posh and her husband, David Beckham, were invited to the ceremony but not Markle and Harry’s exclusive wedding dinner, which added fuel to the feud fire.

By June 2024, sources claimed that their relationship had reached a point where it was “beyond repair,”

with Markle reportedly attempting to reach out to Beckham but being met with silence.

An upcoming celebrity tell-all book, The House of Beckham: Money, S— and Power by Tom Bower, delves into the early friction between these two high-profile women.

According to Bower, the initial strain began over a request for some free items from Beckham’s fashion line. Markle allegedly wanted “free handbags from Victoria Beckham before snubbing her,” per The Independent. Beckham provided a coat, dress, boots, and a handbag worth £6,000 for Markle to wear at the Royal Family’s traditional Christmas Day parade in Sandringham. Later, Markle wore custom-made pregnancy outfits and a white coat and dress designed by Beckham for a service at Westminster Abbey.

Despite efforts to leverage celebrity friendships for promotion, the results were underwhelming. The only notable success in 2019 was a £1,400 handbag showcased by Markle, which Bower credits Victoria’s Instagram promotion for over Markle’s endorsement. It’s also worth noting that other celebrities, like Melania Trump, have worn Victoria Beckham’s designs, complicating the public’s perception of the brand due to Trump’s divisive nature.

Bower also examines Meghan’s perceived hierarchy within the celebrity world, stating, “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal Family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.”

The book doesn’t just focus on Markle and the former Spice Girl — it also makes claims about the Beckhams’ relationship, describing it as “purely transactional” and suggesting they even feed negative stories about themselves to the press.
