Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s breakdown of their relationship with David and Victoria Beckham was down to one of the Sussexes’s key moves, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been enjoying a close relationship with the Beckhams, with Harry and David being reportedly friends for years and Meghan even endorsing Victoria’s brand.

It comes as the Beckhams’s Netflix docuseries was crowned as the most watched on the streaming service, whereas the Sussexes’ show slumped to rank 211.
Mr Fitzwilliams dubbed the latest news as a huge blow for Harry and Meghan would consider David and Victoria “everything they would like to be”.
He explained: “You can’t compare Harry and Meghan to the Beckhams.
