Their £1million union was splashed across the pages of OK! magazine and was described as the ‘wedding of the decade’ after it outshone the nuptials of Prince Edward and his bride Sophie Rhys-Jones.

Now, as David and Victoria Beckham celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, it has emerged that Buckingham Palace was inundated with letters for Posh and Becks after they moved into their first marital home.

According to the Spice Girls‘ publicist Alan Edwards, the Royal Mail confused the Beckhams’ love nest Rowneybury – their mansion on the border of Hertfordshire and Essex that was dubbed ‘Beckingham Palace’ – with the monarch’s official London home.  

Reflecting on their wedding ceremony ahead of today’s anniversary, he told The Sun: ‘This was a worldwide publicity event, and we knew the interest was akin to that around a royal wedding.

‘In fact, we’d had a complaint from Buckingham Palace saying that they kept getting letters addressed to David and Victoria at Beckingham Palace!’

The marriage even hit the radar of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh: they refused to sit on thrones during the 2012 Jubilee River Pageant in case they looked like the Beckhams, who famously posed on thrones during their 1999 wedding.

When asked why the couple hadn’t sat on the red velvet chairs on the Royal barge, Prince Philip told close friend Gyles Brandreth: ‘Well we’d have looked like Mr and Mrs Beckham, wouldn’t we?’

The Beckhams, who have four children, have mixed in royal circles for more than two decades – since Victoria was a Spice Girl and David was a high-flying footballer.

In 1997, after the death of Princess Diana, Victoria and her fellow Spice Girls joined the then Prince Charles and a star-struck Harry on a royal tour of South Africa to perform a charity concert.

The singer-turned-designer, who gave an interview to The Spectator magazine in which she aired her love of the monarchy, also met the Queen at a Royal Variety show the same year.

And, two years later, she met the Duchess of York when Fergie took Beatrice, then 11, and Eugenie, nine to watch a Spice Girls concert.

At the turn of the century, there were another Royal meet and greet at the Party in the Park, in aid of The Prince’s Trust, when Prince Charles met the couple afterwards.

And, in 2002, at the opening of the Commonwealth Games, David, who was England football captain, handed the baton to the Queen.

Their friendship with the Cambridges began when David, then playing for US team LA Galaxy, was part of the team bidding to host the World Cup.

He travelled with Princes William and Harry to meet FIFA officials in 2010 and, although the bid was unsuccessful, it cemented a friendship with William, who was and remains President of the FA.

The couple went onto be invited to the 2011 wedding of William and Kate, but David made a social faux pas when he wore his OBE on his right lapel rather than his left.

‘We had to pinch ourselves when we got the invite,’ he said afterwards.

‘I’ve become friends with Prince William and Harry as well.

‘We was (sic) brought up to love the Royal Family and when Princess Di was around, the love for her was incredible. The Royal Wedding gave our country a huge lift.’

During Britain’s Olympic year, in 2012, David even teamed up with the Duchess of Cambridge to present the BBC Sports Personality of the Year to cyclist Bradley Wiggins.

But it was their friendship with Fergie and Andrew which caused a real furore.

Having been invited to a tea party at Buckingham Palace for daughter Harper’s sixth birthday in 2017, David posted a photograph on Instagram of the youngster in a Princess Elsa costume from the film Frozen.

Posed in the Palace’s front quadrangle, where photographs are banned, a Palace insider described it as a ‘serious breach of protocol’ and the then Prince Charles was deemed to be ‘seismic with rage’.

However, Charles clearly did not hold a grudge, for he recently appointed Beckham as an ambassador for his charity the King’s Foundation.

The King gave Beckham a tour of his beloved Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, where the pair swapped beekeeping tips.

The move increased speculation that Beckham’s long-held dream of a knighthood might soon be a reality.

OMG | Amid Meghan Markle’s ‘horrifying’ scandal, everyone laughed out loud because what Meghan is suffering is a ‘self-slap’ for what she imposed on Princess Kate…

 

Meghan Markle seems to be trying to mend her broken relationship with Princess Kate, with one royal expert claiming she has “reached out several times”.

 

The Princess of Wales has been caught up in a Photoshop scandal after fans spotted “errors” with a sweet family snap she released on Mother’s Day. Kate smiled alongside her three children in the picture, but fans were convinced it had been altered and rushed to social media to share their theories.

Princess Kate then admitted to editing the snap and apologised for causing any “confusion”. Now, royal author Tom Quinn has said Meghan is using the chaos as her chance to reach out to Kate.

He told The Mirror: “Meghan has reached out several times via back channels to Kensington Palace in an attempt to see if there is any chance of getting on better terms with Kate. This is definitely partly because Meghan is genuinely worried about Kate’s health, but she also sees a chance to lose her permanently angry-at-the-royals image.”

However, it’s unclear whether Meghan’s attempts at a reunion will pay off. Tom explained: “Kate won’t want to be seen to rebuff these overtures, but she will be taking advice and the advice so far, I hear, is definitely – don’t take the risk.

“The feeling in Kensington Palace is that if Meghan’s attempts to extend an olive branch are welcomed, it will just re-open old wounds.” His comments come after another expert urged Meghan to speak out in defence of her sister-in-law.

Meghan Markle caught in major ‘snub’ after secret change on Archie’s birth certificate

Meghan Markle made one particular move which was dubbed as a ‘huge snub’ to Princess William and Princess Kate.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry once made an “unprecedented” move regarding their son, Prince Archie’s birth certificate which was dubbed as a major “snub” to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The Duchess of Sussex altered Archie’s birth certificate just days after his birth was officially registered.

According to the Sun, the birth certificate was altered to show his mother as “Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex” instead of the original “Rachel Meghan”.

Harry and Meghan’s eldest child was born on May 6, 2019, with his birth registered 11 days later before the amendment was made on June 5.

The outlet at the time reported that this was a “snub” to Prince William and Princess Kate, who used Kate’s names on their children’s certificates.

It also suggested the intention was to place Meghan on an equal footing with Prince Harry’s mother Princess Diana, who would always use “Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales”.

However, a spokesman for the Sussexes insisted that the move was “dictated by The Palace” and not “requested” by Meghan nor Harry.

Just days after the change, Harry and Meghan left the Royal Foundation – the so-called Fab Four’s joint charity – and months later they quit their royal duties and moved to the US.

Meanwhile, Lady Colin Campbell, who spotted the amendment, said: “It is extraordinary and raises all kinds of questions about what the Sussexes were thinking.”

 

Prince Harry’s comments comparing Meghan Markle to Princess Diana left fans livid

Fans were left feeling unimpressed by Prince Harry’s comments comparing his wife Meghan Markle to the late Princess Diana of Wales.

Many fans believe Meghan Markle differs significantly from Princess Diana despite Prince Harry’s favourable comparisons made in his bombshell Netflix documentary titled ‘Harry & Meghan’, released in December 2022.

Speaking of his wife, who Harry married in May 2018, he told documentary makers: “So much of what Meghan is, and how she is, is so similar to my mum.”

He further explained: “She has the same compassion, she has the same empathy, she has the same confidence. She has this warmth about her.”

As he spoke, the episode featured clips of Meghan and Diana intertwined. A clip of Diana holding a young Harry on her hip as she walked behind Prince William played before a clip showing Meghan and the couple’s son Archie, holding hands and running in a garden.

However, fans on social media, have opposed his views and doubted the comparisons. User @RCaron67 wrote: “Meghan wants to be loved like Diana without having any of the qualities that made her relatable.”

Whereas user, @thutmose4th joked: “This makes me want to throw up…”

Another offered a slight balance of opinion: “I assume he sees more than we see through private interaction. That said, I do not see a comparison between the People’s Princess and the Hollywood Actress. It is genuine compassion versus narcissism.”

Despite the criticism fans made in the comparison, the Netflix documentary also tugged at fans’ heartstrings as Meghan Markle carried a baby Prince Archie on her hip, pointing to a picture of Diana in his nursery and saying “That’s your grandma, Diana”.

Commenting on the sweet interaction, one fan said: “Got so choked up watching Archie touch his Grandma Diana’s hand in the photo, and speaking his Baby talk talk to his beloved GRAND MAMA.”

Diana died in a car accident in Paris in 1997, when she was 36 years old and Harry was only 12 years old at the time of her death.

The crash has been blamed on paparazzi, who had been following the princess while driving through Paris. It also resulted in the deaths of Dodi Fayed, and her chauffeur, Henri Paul.

Prince Harry has previously claimed that men in the royal family have a “temptation or urge to marry someone who fits in the mould, as opposed to somebody who you are perhaps destined to be with”.

He added: “The difference between making decisions with your head, or your heart. And my mum [Diana] made most of her decisions, if not all of them, from her heart. And I am my mother’s son.”

Prince Harry threatens to sue BBC over claims he didn’t ask Queen’s permission to name his daughter Lilibet

FURIOUS Prince Harry has threatened to sue the BBC for libel over claims he did not ask the Queen’s permission to name his baby daughter Lilibet.

In a legal letter yesterday he demanded that the corporation stop repeating the allegation.

The Beeb had reported that a senior Buckingham Palace source confirmed Harry “never asked” his grandmother about using her personal nickname for the newborn.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had earlier told the BBC via close sources that Harry, 36, did, in fact, speak to the Queen and “would have mentioned the name” to his grandmother.

And in a swift and aggressive rebuttal to the BBC’s report, Harry threatened to sue for libel through London law firm Schillings.

A spokesman for Harry insisted he “spoke with his family in advance of the birth announcement” and the Queen was “the first family member he called”.

They added: “During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.”

QUEEN WAS ‘SUPPORTIVE’

Sources last night told The Sun there was “irritation” from the Palace at claims by Harry and wife Meghan’s camp that they had told the 95-year-old monarch in advance about the tribute.

The source added Harry “never asked” the Queen for permission, saying: “A phone call was made before the public announcement — but the question was never asked. The news was simply presented to the Queen.”

The Sussexes said the Queen was “supportive” of the idea and would have made clear if she was not happy.

However, a source said: “There was irritation that Harry and Meghan insisted in public that it was done by the book. But as far as the Palace was concerned, it wasn’t.”

Harry and Meghan have firmly denied the BBC’s claims.

The legal letter followed counter-briefings from Harry and Meghan through journalist ally Omid Scobie, author of their bombshell biography Finding Freedom.

Mr Scobie said the couple would not have used the name Lilibet for their daughter unless the Queen had supported the move.

Legal experts say Harry would have the upper hand in court.

Media lawyer Mark Stephens said: “He would have been defamed simply by being called a liar.

“In terms of who would win a legal battle, the Queen cannot be compelled to give evidence so the BBC would be having to rely on a confidential source who would be unlikely to come forward.

“You then have Harry who would say he had first-hand knowledge of the conversation because it was he who spoke to his grandmother.”

The row followed Sunday’s announcement that Harry and Meghan, 39, would be calling their second child Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

In terms of who would win a legal battle, the Queen cannot be compelled to give evidence so the BBC would be having to rely on a confidential source.

Mark Stephens

The baby, born in California on Friday, shares the nickname Prince Philip called his wife for more than 70 years.

It was first given to Her Majesty by her father King George VI when young Elizabeth struggled to ­pronounce her name properly.

‘DEEPLY PERSONAL’

Royal experts suggested using the Queen’s personal nickname would have upset the monarch as it is “deeply personal” to her.

Royal biographer Lady Colin Campbell reckoned the Queen reacted with “cold fury”.

She added: “It’s a ravagement of the Queen’s privacy and identity.”

Meanwhile Angela Levin, author of Prince Harry: Conversations with the Prince, suggested the Duke could have held a ­conversation about names with the Queen — but only given “half information”.

She said: “If you think back to the Oprah chat he did about ­mental health, he started working with her in 2019 when he was still in the Royal Family.

“He asked the Queen for permission and she gave it on the understanding the programme was about the Invictus Games — damaged and wounded military men and women and talking about their mental health.

“But what actually happened is he was vile about his own family.

“Harry gives out half the information so the Queen says yes, and then he diverts.

“What he likely said is that he’d like to name the baby after her and she would have said ‘how lovely’, thinking it would be Elizabeth as a first or middle name. Prince ­William had done as much with Princess Charlotte.

“But I can’t imagine for a second he specifically said ‘Lilibet’ and she allowed it. It’s a huge invasion of her privacy.”

It is the latest souring of relations between Buckingham Palace ­officials and the Sussexes since they quit the Royal Family last year for the US with son Archie, two.

Tensions boiled over following an Apple TV interview with Oprah Winfrey in March, when Harry and Meghan alleged they suffered racism and neglect while part of the Royal Family.

Harry’s legal threats to the BBC come weeks after he and Prince William blasted the corporation for its treatment of their mother.

The Sun says

“PRINCE Harry is coming across like a typical f***ing woke snowflake, f***ing a***hole. Just don’t be f***ing dissing your family because there’s no need for it.”

No, it’s not an official statement from Buckingham Palace. Nor the words of Prince William. They’re from national treasure Noel Gallagher.

William may have said something similar in private. We cannot know.
Likewise we can only guess exactly what was said when Harry contacted the Queen, apparently to ask consent to bestow her highly personal nickname Lilibet on his new daughter.

He and Meghan insist that if Her Maj had said No they’d have thought again. OK. But a senior Palace source claims to the BBC that’s not so. That they never really sought her permission.

We all know “recollections may vary”. But is it really plausible the Californian Oprah-botherers just made this one up?

Why won’t the Palace officially back their version of events?

A damning report concluded Beeb journalist Martin Bashir, 58, had forged bank statements to secure his exclusive 1995 interview with Princess Diana, two years before she died in a car crash.

 

Prince William, 38, slammed the BBC, insisting the failings “not only let my mother down, and my family down; they let the public down”.

Meanwhile, younger brother Harry also blasted the Corporation, saying: “Our mother lost her life because of this.”

Meghan Markle bitterly blasted as ‘cold, rude and a total opportunist’ by controversial author Lady Colin Campbell

CONTROVERSIAL royal author Lady Colin Campbell has cruelly blasted Meghan Markle as being “cold, rude and a total opportunist.”

The Jamaican-born British author, 70, said the Duchess of Sussex, 38, cost Prince Harry, 35, “most of his friends” and was rude at his best friend’s wedding.

The extraordinary revelations were revealed in an extract from her book Meghan And Harry: The Real Story.

As reported by Femail, Lady Colin said a source told her Meghan “froze out” other guests at the wedding of Prince Harry’s pal Charlie Van Straubenzee to Daisy Jenks.

In the new book, Lady Colin writes: “A girl went up to Meghan, introduced herself, and said how beautiful she thought she was. She said she knew it was Meghan’s birthday and wished her a happy birthday.

“Meghan looked at her as if she had committed a great faux pas by speaking to her and walked off.

“It was so cold.”

Lady Colin quotes “someone who witnessed the exchange” as saying it was “really rude”.

The royal author continues that a “worse” encounter happened at the wedding breakfast when another girl told Meghan how much she admired her.

Lady Colin writes: “She told her [Meghan] she was rooting for them and wished them well. Meghan’s response? She looked her up and down, turned away without saying a word.”

It is not known if Lady Colin, who penned the 1992 biography, Diana in Private: The Princess Nobody Knows, has ever met the royal couple.

Her unofficial biography comes ahead of Harry and Meghan’s new biography Finding Freedom in August, written by Omid Scobie.

Lady Colin claimed to Page Six that Harry will be “too weak” to leave Meghan, and the former Suits actress has “caused him to lose most of his friends”.

Page Six reports an extract of the book says: “She’s [Meghan] a total opportunist.

“She knew in advance she’d embark on commercial ventures, which royalty strictly forbids.”

It continues: “She now has what she wanted — a millionaire’s life in Hollywood. She’s caused Harry to lose most of his friends.

“He’s weaker than she. He’s run ragged. Despite the sex, she will make his life miserable. He has no strength of character to leave her.”

This week, Lady Colin appeared on This Morning, and claimed Meghan wants to “run for President” of the United States in the bizarre interview.

Speaking to hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby live from her home, Lady C said: “That is what she told people.

“She’s told people her ultimate ambition is to run for President.

“And she announced last week that she is going into politics, notwithstanding the fact that no member of the British royal family is allowed to enter politics.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are reportedly exploring a lifestyle that bridges the Atlantic. The couple, known for their high-profile decisions, is considering splitting their time between the United Kingdom and the United States.

The Split: Balancing Two Worlds

According to sources close to the couple, Harry and Meghan are contemplating dividing their time between the UK and their current home in California. The idea is to maintain a 50/50 balance, allowing them to stay connected to both their British and American roots.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold suggests that this move could signal a desire to reconnect with Harry’s estranged family. The couple’s decision to step back from royal duties in 2020 (dubbed “Megxit”) caused intense controversy, and their subsequent interviews and memoirs added fuel to the fire.

Since relinquishing Frogmore Cottage, the Sussexes have lacked a permanent London residence. Their potential acquisition of a UK home would provide a foothold for their transatlantic lifestyle.

While the Sussexes are reportedly looking to add a UK property to their already-impressive real estate portfolio — which currently boasts a sprawling $14 million California mansion — Harrold notes that he doesn’t see the “Suits” alum moving back to London on a permanent basis.

“I can believe that Harry would like to be back here, he loves the UK. He had an amazing upbringing here, he loved living here and I remember that.”

Meghan’s Perspective

Meghan, a California native, is unlikely to permanently relocate to the UK. Her American identity remains a significant part of her life.

“I don’t see Meghan wanting to be in the UK permanently — I think that was the whole idea of why they went out to the States in the first place,” Harrold said.

While Harry is committed to maintaining his dual heritage, Meghan’s focus is on their family and their philanthropic endeavors. The couple’s Archewell Foundation continues to make an impact on both sides of the Atlantic.

Prince Harry has taken a major decision to ease tension with the royal family ahead of his royal trip to the UK.

The Duke of Sussex, who’s set to take solo flight to the UK to attend the Invictus Games 10-year celebration ceremony on May 8, has reportedly decided to make amends with the Firm.

Harry extended an olive branch to the royal family by sending them an invitation to grace his event in London. However, King Charles and other senior members of the royal family have not responded to the Duke’s invitation.

A well-placed London socialite, who knows Harry and William, has confirmed to Page Six that the Duke invited the Prince of Wales as well as other members of the royal family, to the event.

No senior members of the royal family, according to GB News, are expected at the event at St Paul’s Cathedral as King Charles and Princess Kate are currently undergoing cancer treatment.

There are speculations that Harry’s father, who’s recently returned to public duties, could attend via zoom or may be in person.

The 75-year-old monarch is reportedly also considering to to invite Harry and his wife Meghan Markle to Balmoral Castle in Scotland this summer so he can see his grandchildren Archie, four, and two-year-old Lilibet.

It is to mention here that the King will have his weekly audience with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before attending the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season on the day of Harry’s event.

Queen Camilla is reportedly “struggling to see the good” in welcoming Meghan Markle back into the royal fold.

Prince Harry is set to return to the UK next month for a ceremony to mark 10 years of the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014. However, according to reports, Meghan may not join him on the visit.

It was recently claimed that she’s worried about security while they’re in the UK. When news emerged about Harry’s return, many fans hoped this would be an opportunity for him to reconcile with his family.

A source has now claimed that the “door could be open” for Harry to make amends with the family “down the line”. But it seems Camilla has shut down any prospect of “peace talks” soon with the pair.

Queen Camilla ‘peace talks’ with Harry and Meghan
Speaking to Bella magazine, an insider claimed: “It’s not a question of her being bitter, she’s just got so much else going on.

Down the line, the door could be open for Harry to make amends if he’s truly willing to own up to his mistakes.”

The source went on: “But as far as Meghan, Camilla is struggling to see the good that would come from welcoming her back, especially as she feels that any visit would be extremely uncomfortable.”

The source also claimed: “Camilla doesn’t want to inflict undue stress on Kate or Charles by inviting Harry and Meghan over to hold any sort of peace talks.”
