Those close to him accept there is much work to do to heal the rifts he has created

PRINCE Harry is moaning to pals that he feels like The Spare again in exile in the US — and might want to come home.

The Duke, who wrote his memoir Spare about growing up in the shadow of heir to the throne brother William, is increasingly dissatisfied with life in California.

And in shock claims yesterday, he is said to be seeking guidance on a return to Britain — and to the Royal Family.

Harry, 39, has reportedly consulted his trusted former aides here after growing sick of the Hollywood reps he and wife Meghan employ.

Pals claim he feels he has lost his way and dislikes being overshadowed by her in public.

Meghan, 43, took centre stage during their visits to Nigeria in May and Colombia last month.

And those in Harry’s inner circle have noted that he seems to enjoy regular solo trips back to the UK, with Meghan refusing to set foot in the country.

His visit to the memorial of his uncle, Lord Fellowes, last week met with approval among those pals.

A source close to them told The Sun: “Harry is feeling more and more isolated in California, which is why he has been reconnecting with old friends back home.

“The Colombia trip also really highlighted how Meghan is comfortable stepping into the spotlight, while Harry cuts a very sulky, unhappy figure in the background.

“He wants to carve out a way back into royal life back in the UK and is seeking counsel from old friends and associates.”

But those close to him accept there is much work to do to heal the rifts he has created.
Harry & William have no chance of making up if they can’t even speak at their uncle’s funeral, says expert
In his 2023 memoir Spare, he took aim at his close family, accusing William of knocking him to the floor during a row.

He claimed William called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive” and that William’s wife, Kate, was cold towards her.

Royal biographer Angela Levin said he has cut an unhappy figure of late. She added: “You could say Harry is not even the spare to his wife. He’s almost nothing.

“She treats him horrendously. If you look at the filming of them in Colombia and Africa, he is not asked anything. He’s pushed out of the way.”

But she added: “I was completely and utterly astonished to learn that Harry is trying to call in his old friends to help him get back within his own family.”

PRINCESS Kate delighted royal fans as she was spotted smiling as she arrived at church near Balmoral with Prince William last week.

The royal, 42, made her first public appearance in over a month as she headed to the Sunday service at Crathie Church, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Every year the royal family flocks to Balmoral for their summer break to “let their hair down”, and it seems this year is no different – even for Princess Kate.

The Princess of Wales announced in March that she was undergoing preventative cancer treatment and she has only been seen a handful of times this year.

When William and Kate visit Balmoral, they don’t stay in the 52-bedroom castle like the rest of the family – but in their own countryside cottage.

Secret home

Tam-Na-Ghar is nestled in the grounds on the 5,000-acre estate, and was gifted to William by his late great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, before her death in 2002.

The three-bedroom cottage is a rather modest dwelling, certainly in comparison to the Wales family’s grand Anmer Hall in Norfolk.

They also have Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace which they used to live in full time, before relocating to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

It was constructed in the traditional style of Scottish lodges and very few photos are available of the house’s exterior and interior.

It is located near to Birkhall, the King’s large home on the bank of the River Muick, and is said to be surrounded by lush greenery.

While the home appears rather lowkey in appearance, it does have fond memories for the couple.

University sweethearts Kate and William, who met at St Andrews, used to use the home as a hideaway when they were dating.

Some sources claim the couple hail their time at Tam-Na-Ghar as the site of some of their happiest times together over the years.

While Kate visited the home from as early as 2001, it wasn’t until 2009 that she visited Balmoral, which was a big step as she and William were not yet engaged.

Prince William previously gushed about how a “big part” of him is always in Scotland.

He told Country Life: “My family has deep connections there and it was such a fun part of my childhood and upbringing.”

It’s a long-held tradition for the royals to holiday at Balmoral during the summer, and they typically spend their time fishing, riding, walking and doing BBQs.

While there are numerous rooms in the castle for family, there are said to be approximately 150 cottages on the large estate.

‘Positive sign’

The family break will be Kate’s longest trip away since her cancer diagnosis, as she continues to undergo treatment.

However, royal author Phil Dampier said that it is a “positive” sign in her recovery that the mum-of-three is planning to go to Scotland.

Speaking to Fabulous, he said: “The fact that Kate is well enough to travel to Scotland and enjoy a holiday at Balmoral is a sure sign she is on the mend and a very positive step.”

The Waleses will join King Charles and Queen Camilla, with the rest of the Royal Family in tow, at Balmoral, as reported by The Mail on Sunday.

Room to run around

The Balmoral Estate is vast, and it now covers an area of approximately 50,000 acres of forestry, mountains and fields, with the scenic river Dee flowing through it.

Phil shared: “Obviously, there’s so much space up there, so the children can go off.

“I’m sure that George is of an age now where he’ll be fishing, possibly in the River Dee there.”

The estate and castle are privately owned by the Royal Family and are not the property of the Crown, which offers them a family break away from the public eye.

Phil said: “There’s so much space that they can go off for picnics, go off for massive long walks, and just enjoy the fresh air and the forest up there, and enjoy the freedom.

“They might get a pony up there and start doing some horse riding if they’re not already.

“That’s the sort of thing they’ll get up to.

“It’s all the typical traditional royal pursuits that they can enjoy if they want to up there.”

The royal expert said that Balmoral tips are “extremely private”, and added: “We don’t tend to see as many pictures as we used to; they tend to be left alone up there, and I’m sure that’s how they’ll like it.”

The category A listed Balmoral Castle- which costs around £3million annually to run – is breathtaking but can be fairly “drafty”, according to Phil.

During the stay, King Charles will stay at Birkhall with Queen Camilla, but they’ll “travel over for dinner and events and picnics”, claims Phil.

King Charles told Harry straight to his face, “Don’t bother me,” as the Duke harassed him during his cancer treatment. King …

King Charles told Harry straight to his face, “Don’t bother me,” as the Duke harassed him during his cancer treatment. King Charles has grown wary of his youngest son, Prince Harry, for whom nothing is ever good enough.

Conflicting narratives surrounding Harry’s recent visit to the UK have further distanced him from the Royal family. According to royal correspondent Ingrid Seward, the King is wary of his troublesome son.

Charles knew Harry had no UK base and was anxious about security, but he didn’t expect Harry to issue a statement claiming his father was too busy to meet him. This was hurtful, and even if true, a meeting might have been arranged if they were under the same roof.

Harry’s unpredictable behavior is hurtful to his father. Even if Charles were too busy to see Harry, issuing an announcement was unnecessary and benefited no one. This is especially true when Charles is undergoing cancer treatment and could be very tired and emotionally fragile.

Palace courtiers said that King Charles doesn’t want anything interfering with his treatment, including his ongoing feud with Prince Harry. The insider revealed that the King is facing an unspecified cancer, which is harrowing for anyone.

As head of state, he has to maintain his duties and public appearances. He doesn’t want his equilibrium upset, and Harry’s heartless and cruel comments about him and Queen Camilla have been particularly painful.

The revelation comes after Prince Harry’s spokesperson said he turned down a meeting with King Charles in London due to the lack of security provision, despite an offer to stay at a royal residence.

 

The rep reported that Harry declined his father’s offer because it didn’t include personal security measures, which could have left him vulnerable. Instead, Harry chose to stay in a hotel to come and go unseen. 

The situation has been exacerbated by attacks on the King for not meeting with Harry. Now, some claim the King did want to meet with Harry. The narrative suggests Harry wants to imply he needs protection from his family. The solution seems simple: stay out of the UK.

The British royal family isn’t disclosing who they invited or not, and these stories often read like a stage play where one actor plays all roles. It’s reminiscent of reading “will they, won’t they” divorce stories. The tabloids have no new material about the British royal family, so they fabricate stories, and it’s awful.

They are even contemplating revisiting Africa, following their previous tour in Nigeria that was nothing short of a ridiculous spectacle. At…

They are even contemplating revisiting Africa, following their previous tour in Nigeria that was nothing short of a ridiculous spectacle. At this point, one must wonder what it will take for King Charles to finally put an end to this nonsense.

Every time I rightfully criticize these two individuals for exploiting the Royal name and institutions for their personal gain, I am bombarded by a predictable group of defenders.

They come rushing to the defense of Harry and Megan, claiming that we should not dare question the actions of the monarchy. Spare me the misguided deference, my easily triggered monarchist friends. We are facing a full-blown crisis that demands a strong response from the palace. The tacky charades of these fake Royal tours mock the very institution that King Charles is duty-bound to protect.

Can you even comprehend the sheer audacity of these deceitful self-promoters? They have declared themselves modern quasi-Royals and gallivant around the Commonwealth on sham Royal tours, all while shamelessly trading off the titles and names they willingly abandoned when they went rogue.

It’s a cynical scam designed to undermine the gravity of the monarchy by blurring the lines between Megan and Harry’s personal endeavors and the genuine business and affairs of the crown. Each fabricated Markel tour further blurs this crucial distinction and serves only to enhance their personal branding as perpetual Royal-adjacent profiteers.

You don’t have to be an ardent anti-monarchist to recognize the disrespect and corrosiveness of their actions toward the institution’s integrity. Every time Harry and Megan stage one of their cringe-worthy publicity stunts, masquerading as serious tours or diplomatic missions, they delegitimize the Royal family and turn it into a circus.

So, where is the outrage from King Charles? Why does he remain silent as these grifters mortgage away the Royal name and reputation to anyone willing to fund their extravagant lifestyles in exchange for a few photo ops at airports?

If the advisers of the king are telling him to stay quiet and avoid inflaming the situation, then they are even more clueless than I had previously imagined.

Clearly, their ineffective appeasement strategy has not yielded any results so far. In fact, it has only emboldened Harry and Megan, allowing their delusions to spiral further out of control. The palace’s refusal to decisively shut down these fake tours has only enabled their narcissistic supply to flourish.

This is an institutional emergency, my friends. One that demands a resolute response from King Charles. Instead of indulging in hand-wringing and the “keep calm and carry on” mentality, the palace needs to take immediate and forceful action. These phony Royal tours make a mockery of the monarchy and jeopardize its very essence.

Can you imagine the uproar if British taxpayers discover that their hard-earned money is being squandered to provide security for these private profiteering stunts disguised as Royal tours? It would be a public fiasco, a constitutional crisis that could potentially shatter the credibility and purpose of the House of Windsor.

The time for stern statements and real action is now. If King Charles wants to defend the heart of the monarchy from being monetized and ridiculed on a global scale, he must act decisively.

He must make it unequivocally clear that these are not mere games but rather a genuine threat to the monarchy itself. How many more of Megan and Harry’s ill-conceived endeavors can the palace endure before the entire premise of the Royal family representing the crown’s dignity and mystique is irreparably shattered?

Continents are being invaded by these two individuals, and yet the palace remains silent, only crying foul when anyone demands accountability and action from King Charles.

This reeks of either a stunning inability to recognize the severity of the situation or a misguided belief that continued permissiveness and appeasement will somehow tame the harkles. One path leads to the eventual ruin of the institution, while the other only emboldens these entitled narcissists to push the boundaries further.

Meghan Markle in Panic: Shocking Footage Allegedly Shows Lilibet’s Biological Mother Reclaiming Her Daughter

 A woman named Maria Gonzalez, who used to work as the housekeeper at the Montecito estate of our daring Duke and Duchess of Deceit, has ste…

A woman named Maria Gonzalez, who used to work as the housekeeper at the Montecito estate of our daring Duke and Duchess of Deceit, has stepped forward with the mother of all claims. Gonzalez is outright alleging that she, not Meghan, is the actual biological mother of Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Lilibet.

Unbelievably, if this is true, it would mean that Harry and Meghan’s hollow victimhood rallying cry of “she’s my baby, my literal flesh and blood” has been a deceitful sham from day one.

All their grand self-promotional narratives about fighting the good fight for mothers and proudly embracing her multicultural heritage with Lilibet are a total fabrication, fueled by the most serious betrayal imaginable—stealing another woman’s biological child. Has there ever been a more disgustingly cynical attempt to empower your vapid brand at someone else’s expense?

Even for the unrepentant grifters we know Harry and Meghan to be, this would absolutely nuke past all boundaries of repugnant personal conduct. Based on Meghan’s demonstrable history as a deceiver and fabulist, these allegations are more than plausible.

 

For all her lofty preaching about progressive feminism and supporting women’s causes, Meghan has repeatedly revealed herself as the epitome of self-serving elitism mixed with blatant hypocrisy. Her claims of being an oppressed voice for the marginalized are constantly undermined by entitled actions that harm and marginalize those around her.

How many royal staffers had their careers and reputations baselessly scorched amid Meghan’s bullying outbursts? Just the logistics alone required to pull off this level of alleged chicanery are truly astonishing. It’s next-level audacity—a grift of the perfect crime variety, requiring mountains of depraved dishonesty. We’re asked to believe this American minor royal accomplished it all while under the ever-watchful gaze of UK tabloids. More likely, if these claims are accurate, the surrogacy was carefully planned and bankrolled in secret.

Leave it to the unparalleled manipulators that are the Sussexes to potentially view the arrival of their second child as simply another leverage point to be gained. In her twisted thinking, secretly stealing another woman’s baby could be the most authentic way to reinforce those phony ethnic struggles. Trust me, if her blatant lies about marrying Harry before the actual wedding for cheap publicity show us anything, it’s that Meghan has zero qualms about deception.

With the potential bombshell of Lilibet’s real parentage now exploding onto the scene, not only will Meghan’s PR narrative about being a preserving minority mom be discredited, but the entire “woe is me” ethnic oppression facade she’s been spinning for years will crumble into dust. No wonder Gonzalez’s legal team has a trove of evidence ready to deploy. The optics alone of a well-intentioned woman of color exploited by this fame-hungry elite phenom from Montecito would utterly obliterate Meghan’s pristine, protected persona.

Don’t think this potential legal clown show would remain contained out there on the West Coast. No, the ripple effects and implications would extend far past this. If proven true, you can expect those dopey royal overlords back in Blighty to snatch Lilibet away from Harry and Meghan faster than you can say “custody hearing.”

Meanwhile, the fallout would only intensify the already raging dumpster fires of scandals and embarrassments plaguing the firm’s tattered reputation. What better ammunition for critics than revelations that the highest-profile royals lied to the world about welcoming a child?

David and Victoria Beckham were once in good standing with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prior to the falling out.

While no one knows exactly what led to this falling out, there are claims Meghan Markle accused Victoria Beckham of leaking secrets about her to the press.

David Beckham apparently found this outrageous and decided to cut ties with Harry, even though they’ve been good pals for years.

This did not, however, affect David’s relationship with Harry’s father King Charles, as he was recently named an ambassador for the King’s charity Foundation.

Royal Expert Claims Victoria Beckham Can’t Wait To See How Meghan Markle’s Lifestyle Brand Fares With the Competition

This week, it was revealed that the Beckhams’ documentary have eclipsed Harry and Meghan’s “whiny” Netflix show.

While Harry and Meghan’s show started off with very strong numbers – 81.6million hours were viewed in the first four days – this number rapidly dropped.

Experts suggested it’s likely because fans thought they would get insights into the inner workings of the Royal Family, but soon realized it was the couple setting themselves up to continue whining and degrading their relationship with the Royal Family.

The mocking curtsy put on by Meghan Markle especially peeved some royal fans.

In contrast, the Beckhams documentary was more insightful, as the couple shared their career ups and downs and delved into some comical family life scenes that went viral.

But according to a brand expert, Victoria Beckham’s win over Meghan would be complete if the latter’s brand, American Riviera Orchard, launches to failure.

Denise Palmer-Davies, Brand expert and Director at Borne Media, said: “It is a difficult market to crack – even Victoria has had her obstacles – as it is so saturated.”

Palmer-Davies added, “But given their fall out, the sceptic in me wonders if she’d be secretly pleased if it did backfire. That would be the ultimate revenge wouldn’t it?”

Since the fallout with the Beckhams, Meghan Markle has stopped wearing clothes designed by Victoria’s fashion brand, while Princess Kate seems to be patronizing the brand even more.

Victoria Beckham is celebrating U.S. Mother’s Day from across the pond!

The fashion designer, 50, shared a wholesome family snap featuring all of her and David Beckham’s children — Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21,

Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12 — posing with her in honor of the special day in the States.

“Happy US Mother’s Day to all the mother figures out there,” Victoria wrote in the caption of the image, adding,

“I love you all so much @davidbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xxx.”

In the photo, Victoria smiled as she posed with her four kids while they sat in front of a table decorated with flowers. David, 49, didn’t appear in the snap,

but it comes two months after the Spice Girls alum was recognized by her family on Mother’s Day in England, too. At the time, David called her one of the “most amazing Mummy’s” in his life.

The new snap from Victoria, however, appears to have been captured amid her 50th birthday festivities earlier this year, as her son Cruz could be seen holding up five fingers on one hand and signaling a zero with the other.

While the kids have yet to salute their mom on the U.S. holiday — outside of Romeo, who shared the snap to his Instagram Stories — they have previously celebrated her for U.K. Mother’s Day on social media and all stepped out for her milestone 50th in late April.

The former Spice Girls member celebrated turning 50 with a star-studded bash at Oswald’s, a members-only club in London on Saturday, April 20.

Apart from her family, some of the attendees included Marc Anthony and his wife, Nadia Ferreira, Eva Longoria and her husband José “Pepe” Bastón, Jason Statham and his fiancée, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Tom Cruise.

The party also included an impromptu performance from Victoria and her former bandmates Geri Halliwell-Turner, Emma Bunton, Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm, and Melanie “Mel B” Brown.

Victoria later thanked David, who planned the party, in a sweet Instagram Stories tribute.

“I still can’t believe how special you made me feel on this evening, on my birthday, this entire week, and all of our magical years together! Thank you. I love you so much! … I am being honest,” Victoria wrote next to a photo of the two.

A day before officially turning 50, the mom of four reflected on feeling “incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone.”

“Blessed, but also accomplished and deeply content. Not just of where I am as a woman, but of how far my fashion and beauty brands have come. My ambition was always to empower women and make them feel like the best version of themselves. To me, that meant trusting my instinct and never compromising on my creative vision,” wrote Victoria in a Tuesday, April 16 Instagram post.

After thanking her loved ones for her constant support, she ushered in her new era with open arms, writing, “Here’s to doing more of what I love with the people I love. I’m so thankful for my family, my friends, and my incredible team! This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and I’m only just getting started.”

When looking at ‘nepo babies’ – the term the internet coined for celebs children who have benefitted by their connections in the industry- Brooklyn Peltz Beckham can’t be excluded.

As the son of superstars Victoria and David Beckham, the 25-year-old can’t shake nepotism accusations but that doesn’t seem to bother him.

Posh and Beck’s eldest son has often faced criticism for his ever-changing career ventures, with many saying that he is only afforded the luxury to do this, thanks to his parents.

Now the star is embracing the title. ‘I can’t help how I was born,’ Brooklyn told InTouch magazine.

He added: ‘I couldn’t ask for better parents and I’m just trying to work my ass off and trying to make a name for myself. That’s all I can say, really.’

From football to modelling and photography and now cooking, the London native has tried his hand at an array of career paths over the years.

Speaking about how his parents have supported him, Brooklyn said: ‘[My parents] didn’t care what I did or what I wanted to do. But, they were just like, ‘As long as you’re nice, you’re humble, and you work hard and you put your head down, that’s the most important thing. You can do whatever you want and it’s whatever you choose to do—try and be the best at that’.’

Brooklyn also got candid about critics of his credentials in the food industry, saying he’s well used to the attention by now and instead of being knocked down by criticism, he uses it to forge on and prove people wrong.

He went on to reveal the stellar advice his Spice Girl mum offered him to block out the hate.

‘Until two years ago, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing… my mum’s just like: Prove them wrong. Never respond to that rubbish, just prove them wrong’ Brooklyn said.

His new business venture, Cloud 23, after his father’s Real Madrid jersey, will see the star bring out a hot sauce line.
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham is no stranger to the spotlight, thanks to being born into a family of superstars. The term ‘nepo babies’ may follow him around, but Brooklyn is taking it all in his stride.

Their unwavering support has given him the confidence to pursue his dreams and ignore the naysayers. He understands that criticism comes with the territory, especially when venturing into new territories like the food industry.In the face of skepticism, Brooklyn draws strength from his mother’s words of wisdom: “Prove them wrong. Never respond to that rubbish, just prove them wrong.” This mantra has fueled his latest business endeavor, Cloud 23, a hot sauce line inspired by his father’s legacy at Real Madrid. By channeling the negativity into motivation, Brooklyn is determined to silence his critics and make a name for himself on his own terms.As Brooklyn continues to navigate the challenges of being a ‘nepo baby’ in the public eye, he remains focused on his journey towards success. With a resilient spirit and a supportive family by his side, there’s no doubt that Brooklyn Peltz Beckham is destined for greatness. Stay tuned for more updates on his inspiring story and entrepreneurial ventures.

Power couple David and Victoria Beckham are doting parents to sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and daughter Harper, 12.

The pair, who wed in 1999, are well known for their hands-on parenting style and regularly share updates on social media.

Over the years, David’s relationship with Harper has occasionally sparked debate. Indeed the father-daughter duo have hit the headlines on several occasions,

most notably with regards to their displays of affection. Discover all of David’s most viral moments with Harper below…

Back in 2018 David sparked controversy when he uploaded an image of himself kissing his daughter Harper on the lips.

His post quickly garnered attention, prompting a plethora of comments from the star’s surprised followers citing the move as inappropriate.

One user commented: “That looks wrong”, whilst another added “This is not right”.

Despite the backlash, several of David’s fans rushed to defend his parenting style and his sweet bond with Harper. Heaping praise on the duo, one wrote: “The comments on here astound me. If you see something other than a doting Dad kissing his daughter, you’re the one that’s wrong! The world has gone mad,” and a second noted: “It’s unbelievable how people turn things into what it is not! It is simply a beautiful act of a dad kissing his daughter…”.

David has previously spoken about his bond with Harper, explaining how he treats his daughter differently to his sons. Opening up, he said: “I’m a softie, I know I’m slightly stricter with the boys than I am with Harper.

He added: “To be honest, the boys rib me about it all the time, Victoria ribs me about it all the time.”

Meanwhile, during a Facebook Live interview back in 2017, David said: “We want to show our kids love. I got criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day… I kiss all my kids on the lips.

“Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn’s 18, he might find that a little bit strange. But I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children.”

He finished by adding: “We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and you know, we’re very affectionate with them.”

Harper driving a golf cart

In 2017 former England captain David sparked a debate when he allowed his then-six-year-old daughter Harper to get behind the wheel of a golf cart. He uploaded a clip to social media which showed David’s only daughter steering the buggy as she perched on her father’s lap.

The update quickly caught the attention of Victoria’s legion of fans after she later shared it on her respective social media alongside the caption: “Someone loves her daddy! #drivingmissharper kisses x @davidbeckham”.

One follower wrote: “Not very smart thing to do guys”, while a second remarked: “Very irresponsible David very”. David and Victoria nonetheless split opinion, with others backing the pair. Defending the couple, one wrote: “Love it! Someone will jump on the bandwagon and say it’s dangerous, watch this space!” while a second wrote: “What a touching moment between father and daughter. Thanks for sharing!”

Harper’s dummy

In 2015, Harper was spotted using a dummy at the age of four. A report published at the time warned that the four-year-old was too old to be using one, and that a dummy could cause speech impediments or dental issues.

Taking to Instagram, David shared a message writing that no one had the right to criticise him or his wife Victoria for their decision. “Why do people feel they have the right to criticise a parent about their own children without having any facts??” he penned.

He added: “Everybody who has children knows that when they aren’t feeling well or have a fever you do what comforts them best and most of the time it’s a pacifier so those who criticise think twice about what you say about other people’s children because actually you have no right to criticise me as a parent…”

David and Harper’s hugging

Last week, David prompted a social media reaction after he was spotted hugging Harper whilst the duo watched his co-owned football team Inter Miami play against St. Louis in Fort Lauderdale.

The snapshots showed Harper and David embracing each other and sweetly posing for photos. In some comments online, fans were quick to draw attention to David’s seemingly overly affectionate hugging.

“We have to keep going on this path, because I don’t know what will happen in about two years? And then after the 2026 World Cup, what will happen?”,

David Beckham expressed in a recent exclusive interview on CNBC (USA).

That is also the time when Messi’s contract with Inter Miami will expire at the end of December 2025, according to the confirmation of the MLS.

“Messi has revolutionized MLS. It’s a real gold rush. Not just Inter Miami, all the clubs in America have benefited from having Messi.

Every away game, against any team, at any stadium, no matter how big the capacity, they’re all packed. Ticket prices have gone through the roof, everything has gone up.

Obviously, we’ve benefited a lot from all the effects Messi has brought. I like the fact that it’s good for all the clubs.

It’s nice to see clubs making more money from the games, and of course for us,” David Beckham stressed.

However, Inter Miami’s owner has expressed concern. “In two years, if we don’t prepare now to take advantage of what we have to continue to develop the tournament, especially in the post-Messi era, everything can easily return to the way it was before. This is the time for MLS clubs to bring in more top stars, quality and attractive players to take the tournament further, not just rely on Messi like now”, David Beckham shared.

Messi still has a contract with Inter Miami until the end of December 2025 with an option to extend the following year, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano – a transfer information expert. However, the Argentine star is the one who decides whether to activate the extension clause or not.

These will depend on Messi’s upcoming competition schedule, including the success or failure of the upcoming Copa America and the possibility of participating in the 2026 World Cup or not. There is even a possibility that the famous player, who will turn 37 next June, will consider retiring if he no longer has the inspiration and contribution to his teammates.

“Messi also has another and surprising option, which is to return to his old club Newell’s Old Boys to play in his home country of Argentina, before retiring,” said AS (Spain).

“What is certain is that there will never be anyone like Messi again. David Beckham himself fully understands that Messi’s appeal to American football today is even greater than when he played for LA Galaxy. Therefore, once this fever passes and there is no one else with enough appeal to attract audiences to the stadium, American football will very easily return to the gloomy period before,” AS assessed.

“Therefore, it is no coincidence that MLS clubs have seen the problem from David Beckham’s warning. They are looking to recruit big-name players to join from this summer. That is Olivier Giroud (signed with Los Angeles FC), soon to be Marco Reus (from Borussia Dortmund) and Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid). Even the prospect from the beginning of 2025, MLS may also welcome Kevin De Bruyne from Man City, Sergio Ramos from Sevilla or Nacho and Luka Modric from Real Madrid, players who have expressed their intention to go to the US to play for the final stage of their careers instead of choosing the tournament in Saudi Arabia”, AS predicted.
